FPV (First-Person View) drone flying is a thrilling mix of excitement, focus, and patience. Each FPV drone is equipped with a camera and a video transmitter that sends a live feed directly to your FPV goggles. Once you put on the goggles and start the motors, it feels like you’re leaving the ground yourself — the immersive experience is incredibly engaging and often addictive.
Unlike traditional drones, FPV drones rely entirely on the pilot for control, with minimal automated assistance. This makes flying more challenging, but also opens up a world of possibilities. Once you master the basics, you can perform flips, rolls, and other aerial tricks, weave through tight spaces, or skim past natural obstacles like rocks and trees.
Racing drones are built for speed and agility. They’re lightweight and powered by high-performance motors that can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under a second, reaching top speeds of over 160 km/h. The trade-off for this performance is shorter flight time — freestyle drones typically fly for 4–6 minutes per battery, and experienced pilots can drain a battery in just 2 minutes during intense racing.
While this may seem short, FPV flying demands full concentration, and short sessions are often more enjoyable. It’s better to carry multiple batteries and swap them out frequently than to use a single large, heavy one. For those interested in longer flights, there are FPV drones designed for endurance that can stay airborne for 20 minutes or more.
