What is FPV? - 5 Min First Person View (FPV) Drone Racing combines several different technologies such as a drone (Multi-rotor helicopter or fixed wing plane), remote control, live video, micro controllers, and a variety of different sensors. This allows the operator of the drone to fly the aircraft with precision in close proximity to the ground, usually below the tree line or less than 100 feet, and around obstacles via live video feed to FPV goggles or a monitor. The pilot literally has the point of view of the pilot’s “cockpit” aboard the drone.
