First Person View (FPV) Drones

One of my FPV drones

FPV flying is piloting a drone as if you were sat inside it. You wear a headset showing a live feed from a camera on the drone, so you see exactly what it sees in real time. It is great fun!

I build my own drones for freestyle and racing, which involves a lot of soldering on the flight controller, the heart of the drone. The racing ones will do over 100 mph.

Flights

A few favourites, filmed on the freestyle drone around Europe and the DJI Mavic in North Wales.

A friend and I founded Pembroke College First Person View in 2018 during my final year of university. We trained new people to fly by holding indoor practice sessions, and took part in the IUDRO National Showcase in Coventry where we placed 2nd. I managed to claim the title for fastest student pilot!
