Cool FPV setup.

Posted by Troy Reabe on August 30, 2011 at 10:00am

 

This is a cool video and writeup I found on Adafruit.com:


Here's the Adafruit writeup:

"A micro camera is installed onboard an r/c plane F-16. The camera transmit live the video to ground and I wear video goggle to fly the plane in real time like if I was in the cockpit. The camera replace the head of the pilot and the movement of the cam is control by the movement of my head on ground via a head mount gyroscope (head tracker)

The whole system cost me around $1500 including the plane. But it is many hours of hand made modifcation. You can start with simpler video system that cost around $500 and install it on your own r/c plane. Search for FPV on the web for more info about my hobby…"

    That vid is by  VRFlyer    (Denis)

     

    He used to have alot more videos posted, but I think the upcoming govt restrictions may have made alot of people more circumspect about what videos go public.

     

    The most famous of his is this one of posted by others:

    Low & Slow

    What's more "real" than video overlay?  Seeing the onboard instruments (well, instrument) in the FPV..
