When DJI originally released its FPV System (goggles, camera, transmitter) it took the existing FPV community by storm. This is the most tightly integrated Ready-to-Fly package you can buy for First Person View. But many people are after a no-muss, no fuss experience. The DJI FPV will likely encourage some people to learn about building their own. You (obviously) don’t have to build this… But for many, learning all this stuff seems insurmountable. For some, that’s a huge part of the appeal of FPV, leaning how to build something. Learn how to use Betaflight Configurator, OpenTX Companion, battery maintenance, and a myriad of other things. You’ve needed to learn how to build and repair your own drone. Traditionally, if you wanted into the FPV world, there’s been a pretty significant barrier to entry. Getting nervous? Take your hands off the sticks and it just hovers. And as long as they show common sense, they have minimal risk of anything going wrong. Seriously, a total beginner would be able to take basic flights the first day. With a visual observer nearby, you’ll be able to fly with super-clear video transmission. That’s because in N mode (which stands for normal), you get the predictable, rock-stable kind of flying that DJI is known for. If you’re looking for an introduction to First Person View flight, you really can’t beat this all-in-one system. With that out of the way, let’s get rolling. It really does “feel” like you’re flying. It’s both a feedback systems for piloting, and an amazing sensory experience that puts you in the cockpit. Based on that First Person View of the camera, the pilot flies the drone. But for those who are new and testing the waters, FPV stands for “First Person View.” It means the drone has a camera that sees where it’s going, and transmits that view back to a pair of goggles the pilot is wearing (or, sometimes, a monitor he or she is watching). We assume that most of our readers are already familiar with the acronym-laden world of drones. That’s because we had a comment yesterday from someone who bailed on our main overview because they didn’t understand the term. If you already know what FPV is, jump to the next paragraph.
