FPV goggles Style DIY Drones flying Virtual Reality

The FPV (First Person View) means in English first-person view and generally refers to the activity of flying a drone using either a screen or glasses that are capable of receiving the video signal and display the drone so the pilot will feel as if inside the aircraft. This method became very popular with race called drones, but their application is much earlier and much larger. For example, the pilot of a plane or drone remote control can fly one airline where there are people to rescue, or fire and advise the much better conditions. Today, we have made the analysis of several drones FPV such as race drone Eachine Racer 250 and other drones as Cheerson CX-22, Hubsan H501S and UpAir Chase.

The device I want to discuss today is basically FPV DIY glasses, which are very cheap and very easy to assemble. These glasses allow them to fly a drone with FPV system as if they were inside it.

FPV These glasses come in several parts, but I repeat that are very easy to assemble. Down here I make a list of the parties.

FPV goggles: These are called 3D glasses that sell many shops and which are used to watch movies in 3D with the help of an application.

Hall: This is responsible for receiving the video signal and sends the drone is already stuck on the front of the drone.

Display: The receiver is directly connected 5-inch screen with a resolution of 800x400.

FPV antenna: To receive the video signal the receiver needs an antenna. With this kit are two antennas flat for greater range and mushroom.

Control unit: To control various settings on the screen have a control unit which are basically three little buttons.

Cables: Cables to connect the battery and connect the screen to the receiver, and other cables to connect other signal source to the screen.

A lithium and some glue. I used a 1000mAh lithium battery. 2-cell 7.4V (2S).

The operation of the glasses is very simple. Basically these are a small video receiver attached to the front of which receives the video signal which controls the drone with a 5.8GHz frequency and displays it on the screen. In this way we can see the earth from the air, just like we're flying drone sees. Is a unique experience that will love it.

Now we will cover the steps to arm the FPV glasses. Also you can see in the video course. Before starting to assemble all the components we must first ensure that the FPV screen and receiver function properly. For this we have to have some source video signal. Either a drone or a station / transmitter that transmits video at a frequency of 5.8Ghz.

Then connect the screen to the receiver and connect the control unit screen. Now the only thing the system needs is food. For this I will use a 7.4V 1000mAh battery that I have around here with JST connector. They can use lithium batteries with other connectors, but you may then have to modify the connector. When you confirm that the receiver and display work can proceed to assemble the FPV glasses.

First, let's stick the small metal sheets are included at the back of the screen as it is going to be fixed at three glasses of magnets. Then we introduce the screen and paste the control unit of this, which are basically three buttons. The next thing to do is to pick a place to put the battery in my case can see that I chose to put it at the top, but you can put it where it's most convenient.

Finally, we stick the sticker and glasses are ready for use.

By the way, if you needed some of the 3D FPV goggles, I have a good suggestion for you. You could choose the Fatshark Dominator V3 Goggles or Fatshark Dominator V2 Goggles. Both of them are pretty good and you will like each of them.
