Cameras on your RC put you in the cockpit.



FPV is short for First Person View. Using specially designed FPV cameras and headsets, it’s possible to virtually put your eyes in the cockpit of almost any RC model. At Horizon Hobby, we’re pioneering a new generation of FPV models and equipment that makes taking part in this thrilling facet of the hobby easier than it has ever been before.

Pretty darn cool, C!

I've been watching a lot of crime shows lately and while I'm not a true believer in drones, I can see where they might come in handy for searching for a body in a field or even in a forest depending on how wooded it is.  Lots cheaper than a helicopter and could be flown locally.

Getting back to FPV.  I like that, I can fly something as it's going away from me but I lose perspective and control when I have to think (hurts my brane) more when it's going in some other direction than forward.  Neat stuff.

Very cool! Would love to try it before buy it.

Hard to beat...like having your own pilots ticket for peanuts. The FAA has  just recently put out a ruling to ban all FPV saying the operator has to view craft at all times. People are trying to get it changed but who knows how it will work out. It's a shame to kill such a great tool.
