The Cheapest way to get started in FPV


This is a companion topic for our recent blog post on blog.unmanned.tech

So, you’re keen to dip your toes into the FPV flying realm, but don’t fancy remortgaging your house for gear? Well, you’re in luck! Our latest blog post delves into the delightful world of Velocidrone Mobile—yes, a simulator you can run on your phone. It’s got all the realistic physics and stunning maps without the hefty price tag. Grab yourself an RC controller for around £65, and voilà, you’re off!

Connecting your gear is as simple as updating your controller to version 3.4 or higher. With Express LRS support, your phone and controller will be chitchatting away like long-lost mates. And don’t forget to enable the Wi-Fi joystick option in Velocidrone Mobile so you can fly about with ease—grab the Crazy B Drone track to start, it’s delightfully slow-paced for beginners.

Mastering the basics is key, and thankfully, it’s just a matter of getting to grips with a few sticks: throttle, yaw, pitch, and roll. Once you’ve mastered hovering, you can impress your friends by nailing those coordinated turns. Jump in now; FPV has never been more accessible, and you won’t need to break the bank.

And if you’re wondering if you can skip the controller altogether? Yes, but let’s be honest, you’ll regret it when your thumbs start to ache from tapping the screen. So, what are you waiting for? Go forth and spread your wings!
