It’s incredibly satisfying to capture awe-inspiring aerial shots with a drone, and while seeing the world from high above is always intriguing, some pilots make an exciting flight as big of a part of the experience as the beautiful scenery that’s being highlighted.
For tricks like flying through tight spaces, doing barrel rolls, and high-speed maneuvers, there are few tools that can compete with an FPV drone, expanding what’s possible with a video camera.

While every DJI drone can provide a first-person perspective from the camera, only two of its drones come with a head-mounted display for totally immersive viewing. The DJI FPV and DJI Avata include a complete FPV system with a preassembled drone, battery, camera, transmitter, remote controller, and goggles. Read More...
