First Person View Drone
A First-Person View (FPV) drone is a fast, acrobatic unmanned aircraft flown using virtual reality (VR) goggles. These goggles stream live video from the drone’s camera, letting the pilot see exactly what the drone sees — perfect for flying through tight spaces and pulling off complex tricks. A radio transmitter is used to control the drone’s movement. FPV drones are flown in full manual mode, meaning the pilot controls throttle, pitch, roll, and yaw directly. There’s no automatic stabilization or self-levelling — just pure control. This makes FPV flying more challenging but also way more fun once you get the hang of it. FPV drones come in many shapes and sizes. The most common is the 5-inch X frame, but other designs like the deadcat (which keeps propellers out of view) and H-shape (popular for freestyle) are also popular. Sizes can range from tiny 65mm “whoops” to huge 13-inch long-range builds. For this build, we’ll be using a 5-inch carbon fibre X frame, a flight controller (FC) and electronic speed controller (ESC) stack, 1700Kv brushless motors, an analogue video transmitter (VTX) and camera, 5-inch tri-blade propellers, a 6S LiPo battery, a patch antenna, omnidirectional antennas, a GPS module, a receiver, a beeper, and several 3D-printed TPU mounts.
