An FPV drone alone doesn’t make a pilot. What makes the difference between a drone sitting on a shelf and a real flying experience is the equipment you hold in your hands and wear on your head. The remote controller and the FPV goggles are the two pillars on which the entire FPV experience rests—and the quality of each of these components directly affects how precisely you fly, how clearly you see, and how well you can capture your flights.
The remote controller is the most direct link between you and the drone. Modern ELRS-based RC transmitters offer precise, high-resolution AG01 gimbals, low latency, and a software environment—usually EdgeTX or OpenTX—that can be adapted to virtually any use case. The range is extensive, from compact game-stick transmitters like the Radiomaster Pocket for on-the-go use to full-featured hobbyist remote controls with large displays. FPV goggles are your other window to the world above: they receive the live feed from the drone’s camera and display it right before your eyes—either in analog or digital HD quality, depending on the system. The difference in the visual experience between a simple analog system and high-quality digital video goggles is significant and affects how natural flying feels. However, this definitely does not mean that every analog system is outdated or inferior.
Thanks to products like the DJI O4 Pro Air Unit, some FPV pilots no longer need a separate action cam at all—they can record footage directly via the video transmitter.
At FPV24, you’ll find FPV equipment from brands like DJI, Radiomaster, Skyzone, Walksnail, iFlight, Team Blacksheep, FrSky, and more—organized into the subcategories RC Transmitters, FPV Goggles, Action Cams, and TBS Crossfire & Tango.
