The FPV Drone is a small, remotely controlled quadrotor (“quad”) unmanned aerial vehicle. A freestyle racing model, it is optimized for high speed and nimble maneuverability for racing purposes. It features an onboard high-definition video camera and a low-latency video transmitter so that the remote pilot can gain a first-person, near-real time view from the drone, as if the pilot were in the quad itself.
The drone features a 11.6-inch carbon fiber composite frame and has an “X” configuration design. It uses 3-blade, 6-inch propellers and high-speed brushless outrunner motors. Its flight controller comprises multi-core, high-speed processors and finely tuned gyros and accelerometers to provide precision control.
It is powered by a high-discharge lithium-ion polymer battery that provides approximately 10 minutes of flight time. The drone is highly responsive, extremely nimble, and fast. It has a maximum rated operating altitude of 500 feet above ground level and a top speed of 93 miles per hour.
