Bought a micro fpv drone

macoman · May 12, 2019

Bought a $100 dollars micro fpv drone with basic goggles. I need to start practicing with drone racing. Anyone else it's into drone racing?

Nope. I get dizzy. I would love to fly a tinywhoop, but can't. ?

I bought it to see the experience of flying a tiny racing drone. I hope I don't get dizzy as well... Lol

That's my next step - as soon as I get this "chewing gum while walking down the sidewalk" thingy licked...

Ever since I saw this video a few years ago, it's been my dream to fly a drone FPV.

Mine too... Looks how amazing they are...

I wonder if they'll ever come out with 3D FPV. Two cameras at the front of the drone working in sync with each other, giving the pilot a complete, life-like view.

Edit: Guess I should've googled before I posted:

BlackBird 2 3D FPV Camera

2D video mode Dual-channel 3D video mode allows you to obtain the best stereo image Plugins available The voltage from 5 to 15 Volts and up to 150 mA consumption

Love that. Thanks for sharing.

Takes a lot of skill to fly that close and that fast.

That's not the real speed... That's how they edited it in post production video software.

Damn, I've been duped!

I guess I should've guessed something was up when they were going full-speed backward up the cliff.

You can see at the very end of the video the real speed and also at the very beginning of the video as well.

This is one of the things that is great about this hobby/obsession, and that is all the different ways to fly drones. I fly an EVO and a Phantom, 120 MPH Freestyle 5" FPV Racers and smaller FPV Whoops and racers. I also fly them LOS which is really hard at high speeds. It's also a cool feeling when you reach a new level of proficiency in each area. I also have a race course in the back yard. Point is try everything! This was shot last summer.
