When choosing between analog and digital video flight systems for drones, it's important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Analog Video Flight Systems:
Analog systems are typically lighter, more affordable, and capable of transmitting signals over longer distances with lower latency. This makes them ideal for pilots who value range and cost effectiveness. However, the video quality of analog systems is generally lower, with more interference and less clarity compared to digital systems.

Digital Video Flight Systems:
Digital systems offer superior video quality with clearer, high-resolution images and less interference. They are perfect for those who value a sharp, detailed visual experience. The main drawbacks are higher cost, increased weight, and generally shorter transmission distances compared to analog systems.

In summary, if your primary goal is to achieve high video quality, a digital video flight system is the better choice. Conversely, if you need a lightweight, low-cost solution for long-range flight, an analog flight system is more appropriate.

We recommend that you start with a ready-to-fly (RTF) kit. These kits include everything you need to start flying, often including a drone, goggles, controller, and battery. Go to the top of the site and click on Beginner.

We also recommend that you practice flying on a flight simulator before you take to the skies!

The cost can vary depending on the features and quality you want. We have starter kits available for under $200 and higher-end options for experienced pilots.

There are different types of FPV drones, each designed for different styles of flying. Freestyle drones emphasize agility and maneuverability for dynamic tricks. Racing drones focus on pure speed for competitive racing. Cinematography drones combine good flight characteristics with high-quality cameras to capture stunning aerial footage.

Regulations vary by location. We recommend that you check with your local aviation authority for specific requirements in your area. In general, there are restrictions on airspace, distance from people and airports, and flying at night.

Everyone has their own approach, but here is a very logical path that you can easily follow.

1. Install a flight simulator and see if you like flying or not.
If it's something for you, train at least 10+ hours in the simulator and try many drones and stick to one you master.

2. If you know how to fly well, look at some beginner tutorials on how to build a drone yourself.

3. After that, buy one of our advanced drone kits and get familiar with assembling and understanding how everything works together.

Once you have gone through all of this, you can be proud of yourself for not only knowing how to fly a drone, but for building one yourself.

We offer a wide variety of options! We have ready-to-fly kits for beginners and a selection of parts for custom builds for experienced pilots.

FPV drone batteries typically last between 4-6 minutes due to the power required for performance. However, flight time can increase to 15 minutes with quieter flying styles.

• Fly in open areas away from people, animals, and obstacles.
• Maintain a visual line of sight with your drone whenever possible.
• Start slow and practice in controlled environments before attempting advanced maneuvers.
• Always check weather conditions before flying.
• Follow local regulations regarding drone use in your area.

2.4GHz provides greater range, but can be susceptible to interference. 5.8GHz provides a clearer video feed, but with a shorter range. Many drones have options for both.
