At an abandoned warehouse in Melbourne’s west, about 30 drone racers have spent hours custom building their multi-rotor machines and fitting them with onboard cameras. Known as FPV racing — or first-person view — the racers use special goggles, some held together with gaffer tape, giving them a drone’s-eye view.

Technology is amazing.This was only a far out dream when I was a kid in the 80’s.we used to talk about a remote control plane with a video camera on it that we could film ourselves surfing with.But couldnt even contemplate a “real time” view like this

What I keep seeing would be awesome if in the future they created an intelligent HuD system while flying. Highlighting the flight path relative to ground
Well there is 1:39 I won’t get back.

makka getty go back to fortnite and play with 9 year olds. Cringe.
Racing drones are getting cheap and feature packed now more so than ever. I pay less then a $100 from ebay seller I have spent 500$ in the past month and each one came in fast and with feature packed designs. I don’t see spending $800 just to have the thing fly away unless you own a business and can write it off your taxes..
Great vid. 60fps would’ve been awesome.
doubt the thing records that quickly xD
no se ve tan dificil
great vid you guys gave me inspiration to drone racing
Netroid TTV this video is super old! Check out some newer ones. I recommend Mr Steele or drone camps rc!!
I wonder if it was possible to record 1080 60fps then lol
Fell out from chair twice
Remember them flight controllers ?. Look how far it’s gone. It was a real good starting point . Let’s keep on moving it forward ??? happy fpv guys and girls
This video inspired so many people to fly! And it inspired us to start creating LED drone racing gates! This one goes in the hall of FPV fame, for sure!
What’s with all the trash everywhere?
+ImStuckInAWall,

very cool, all you need is a football field area with a half dozen 50 foot poles to mark the track and you have a great outdoor arena.
To think that it’s only been like 4 years
First dicker.

Why are they going so slow
After watching this video who wishes to have “”” DRONE”””???
STAR WARS

Next race track would be a 3D one. 🙂
Its like x-wing and TIE fighter
isn‘t there a better place like a stadium for the racing?
Great memories from the early FPV racing days. Funny to think how much has progressed in the past 4 years since this was filmed.
Holy shit thats slow compared to now
