FPVguy - Trusted Drone Reviews

HeadPlay goggles finally ship and they are a BIG DEAL.!

I've been using FPV goggles going back to before the MyVue goggles,  goggles have slowly progressed from super crappy to almost pretty good.  Right now state of the art goggles run roughly $500+ for goggles in the 45+ degrees field of view.    The new HeadPlay goggles aim's to upset the market a bit, delivering a claimed 70deg FOV for roughly $250

You used to pay a lot for goggles and they usually didn't meet your expectations. With the headplays, I feel the experience exceeds my expectations and price.

Mini-H quad BIN

One of the great things about the Mini-H quad,  with its slender dimentions it travels easy.  the other day I stuffed it in my backpack.  But for everyday use I really wanted something easier and more utilitarian.  Today I found a cool case at Blick art,   the 17inch Art Bin quick look case.

Backpacking with my quad

One of the great advantages of the Mini-H quad is that it backpacks easily.  this weekend I refined my technique a little and stuffed it in my old crumbler camera back and took it for a hike.

NEW - Walkera Pandora Warrior - RTF

HOLY BATSHIT BATMAN.!     I wanted one since the movie,  No really, its just a thing and it don't give backrubs,  but this thing is just plainly cool.  It is a model RC scale aircraft, personifying a aircraft from a animated feature movie.. its like flying FPV in your imagination. and trust me.. NON-RC people dig this thing big time..   you don't need to explain why its cool, they get it.  pop your goggles on a kids head and give them a free ride in a Pandora Warrior. Nuf Said.
