Hi, Georgi from FPVTIPS here with the monthly update for September 2019. And here is what's new in FPV:

DRL on NBC and the AI Robotic Racing challenge

Even if you are not a Drone Racing League (DRL) fan, itā€™s exciting for our hobby as a whole to see it coming to the big screen and on US national TV. On top of that, the arenas of the various events were pretty full too.

Itā€™s cool as it makes the sport more popular with the general population and not that much of a niche. Who knows, maybe one-day people will watch DRL as much as they watch Formula 1 nowadays. Who knows?

The technological advancement in the FPV world

I was very happy to watch this UAVfutures video on modding the Larva X with the RunCam Nano camera.

Itā€™s amazing where we have gone in just a yearā€¦ In August 2018 I just got the Snapper7 and it was great to fly around and now we have this?! This is crazy how the advancement of technology has gone.

I loved Stuā€™s reaction because it reflects 1 to 1 my reaction :) Absolutely stoked to be in FPV and enjoying all of those advancements.

DJI Digital FPV system

Yes, Iā€™m bringing this up again, because it has to be brought up! During September a lot of reviews came out that covered the DJI digital system very well.

If you only wanted to watch one review, Iā€™d highly recommend AndyRCā€™s review.

Itā€™s funny cause as awesome as it is, when it came out I wasnā€™t considering changing to the DJI system but as time progresses more and more Iā€™m starting to think it might be a good idea to do it.

Ideally, Iā€™d still like to see a bit more competition in the area so we can enjoy better products and lower prices as tech advances, but if Iā€™m honest, I donā€™t complain about the price of the DJI digital FPV system. Comparing it to a FatShark HDO + RapidFire combo, I think it comes even a bit cheaper and thatā€™s crazy!

Enjoy and happy flying!

Georgi
