love the little detailed instruments you added, really wish i had some extra money to get into this hobbie.. must me really immersive having those goggles on, iv seen some 3d setups, 2 cameras and 2screen goggles giving you depth perception, how well do these work do you know? well keep flyin! looks great!

We sell 3D cameras on our site. The brain uses a lot more than stereoscopic vision to perceive depth tho., abt 12 things including parallax, relative size & motion, etc. & steroscopic vision is only one of those & only works up to about 10ft. U can perceive depth without it.  The CAA chief medical officer speaking about one eyed airline pilots (of which there R several) said the only thing that might be effected is his ability to pick up his coffee cup. It makes no difference to his flying.

Hi simon,

could i have some more information about the plane pls. I always wanted to have a plane like that, so here are my questions ^^;

-does it have a wide fly-area?

-how much does it cost?

-is it suitable to fly with a proper wind going on?

tnx anyway =D

@m4r7ijn Hi, FPV systems that will go up to 15 miles are possible but I wouldn't recommend that to a beginner. Our Advanced Flight Kit is a great place to start and will give you around 450m of range, or 950m with our 8dBi patch antenna. Please see our website regarding the prices, there are many options. Model aircraft require light winds. It depends on the model you choose but nil wind is best, up to about 10mph, maybe 15mph for some models. Checkout firstpersonview co uk for more info.

Hi mr4rijn,

Please check our website for full details.

400 metres is the range with a standard kit, 950m ish with a panel atennna.

£299.99 for the camera, goggles, transmitters and receiver. Most people use the Multiplex Easystar as a platform - these are about £60 to buy.

All model aeroplanes require light winds. Around 15mph is the maximum you should fly in. Nil wind is ideal, particularly whilst training.

Thanks

Simon

Do you have any experience with the FlyCamOne2? If so what is it like? I don't need a FPV 'live' system (My radio is 2.4 as well). But I would like to record videos without to much cost.

Thanks
