I do. I've just got into it precisely because I want an immersive flying experience. It's the closest I'll come to what has literally been a lifelong dream. Ever since I was tiny I have had recurring dreams about flying and I'm middle-aged now. FPV drones are the closest I'm likely to come to making that dream come true.

It may appeal to a younger audience but I wouldn't qualify as younger by any standard and I think fpv drones are very exciting. I'm currently about 30 hours into practising with Velocidrone and I'm still pretty crap but I've been having fun. Once I am confident I'm not going to trash or lose my drone immediately, I'll buy a drone and I'm really looking forward to it. I've always wanted to be able to fly since I was a little boy. I have dreamt about it more times than I could possibly count. I'm never going to be able to fly but an fpv drone is a pretty attractive alternative.

These drone are not as small as you think. The DRL Racer 4 Street (a consumer version of the drones shown in the video) are about 7" in length, which is one of largest consumer grade FPV drones currently available in the market Most consumer grade drones come in at typically 5", which is still very large for an object that weights in at a third of a kilogram zooming past your face about an average 110 km/h.

I hate this opinion. It's all over. And it's completely different flying a hobby drone in a battlefield. Communication with a hobby drone in ukraine would be essentially impossible. You'd put on the goggles, and it would be static because of all the radio traffic. Even if you found you could take off, as soon as you were to get close to anything useful, you'd lose video and immediately crash. This is assuming you have a large ground station capable of receiving the drone signal from many miles away. Standard range is less than a mile for FPV. Yeah, the non fpv drones work just fine. That's because they use a different form of signal that's slower. Flying fpv requires a consistent frame rate or else you crash. Imagine flying at 80mph towards a target, then the video freezes for a full 2 seconds. You crash. The drone doesn't go "oh I should adjust myself", no it's 1-1 pilot controlling the drone millisecond by millisecond. It's just different technology.

DRL is awesome, and needs to be classified as an official FIA motorsport. The athletes compete at hand-to-eye coordination and reflexes on par with F1 and WRC drivers. It's so much more serious than people initially realize. The biggest hurdle is spectating FPV, which can be hard for a lot of people that experience motion sickness unless they are at the stadium in-person. But there are newer technologies coming out that artificially gimbal the movement with a high-res and fps 360 cam. Virtual sports already dominate, but still doesn't get the mainstream attention it deserves. ESPN should be covering this stuff more. People don't want to see a bunch of concussion-victims throwing a ball, they want to see high-anxiety excitement in sports, and DRL is perfect for that. Combined with battlebots and gaming, we have a very exciting future in sports to look forward to!

There's a lot of potential here to see loads of talent breaking barriers as to how these drones are used, and we're only at the start of the rise of these kinds of sports.

@@ductgoosefpv That's a very good point, instead of having the drone cameramen be stationary, they should probably almost be part of the race, zooming back and forth following the drones. Like another racer, but without all the lights? Great point though, thanks.

They are... it's the other drones. Why have other drones in the way, when if you want to see what the battle between Vanny and Halo looks like, you can just cut to Mondo, or Maverick's camera to view what's going on in the heat for 1st. I see what you're saying, but it would just add more stuff in the air for the pilots to run into.

@@YeetLord666 as you say, I really like the views from the competitor drones, this is often the best part of the stream, it feels like you are in the drivers seat. I think another couple drones though that are dedicated camera operators, maybe just going back and forth between a couple points to follow the action at certain parts might be nice. But these pure camera drones might clutter up the field like you mention, so now I'm not so sure.

Wouldn't the best solution to this be adding an additional camera to each racing drone, maybe a rear-facing one that can be accessed by the producers live? I'm completely dumb to the logistics of such a solution, but it solves the problem of cluttering the field and would provide some different, high-intensity angles of overtakes/crashes etc. No need for extra pilots, just producers. And it's something that, if added to every drone, wouldn't be unfair to any specific team. Interesting idea anyway great little glance at the sport

at least drone rc is getting national attention.. But even the drone people know where they actually came from. ROAR was the original and has died off a lot in the last 10 years.. But ROAR \ RC racing is more or less a look at what cars will go through... from Nitro to LiPo . But thankfully some part of RC racing is getting the spotlight. BTW you FPV racers are insane.. I get motion sick in FPV so I stuck to 1/10th scale onroad and some 1/12th scale pan cars. AND this FPV drone racing has been around for a while; 10-15ish years? I remember trying FPV in 2014-2015
