What downward camera angle for FPV?

Hi,

Couldn't find any info on this topic. Sorry if it's a dup.

 

I've just started flying FPV on my quadcopter, at first I had a 5 degree angle but found it was hard to see the ground coming up when decending. I turned the camera down to 15 degrees with much more success.

 

Can people give me an idea of thier conclusions on FPV camera angle? Pros and cons?

 

Thanks,

A.V.

  • When I fly FPV, especial classic heli or multi quad, I do takeoff and land with direct view (from behind view).

    Usually I put my FPV glasses little bit lower than normal, in order to be able to see the model directly.

    Once I have enough safe altitude, 3m, I do look only to the glass monitor. I never combine direct view with FPV view because you can easy be disoriented.

    When I fly FPV my glider, I do have enough time to put/remove FPV glasses when it time to takeoff or land.
