FPV
Drone camera viewpoint
FPV stands for first-person view, a method of piloting drones or remote-controlled vehicles through a live video feed from an onboard camera.
The pilot sees what the craft sees, usually through goggles or a screen, creating an immersive flying experience: FPV racing has become a competitive sport.
FPV footage has become common in action sports and cinematography.
