FPV is my hobby and many who do FPV are kinda fanatical in promoting it and one of the things I do here is promote views for those people I consider to be artists, like the two videos at the top of the thread. Also FPV is a bit outlaw (but can be quite legal too for the most part) and so are pot users who also tend to be young males, though it's pretty much a cross section of the population these days. I also want to get away from politics here, now that Trump is going down, my grow lights are all built and my garden is growing, this citizen is legal in that regard anyway! So this is the home of the FPV rebels for now, kinda fits IMHO! BTW I don't make anything off the product links I post, they are often just things I'm running across in pursuit of my hobby and I'm using them as examples of affordability and to familiarise those who might have an interest, or even of their existence. That goes for the many educational resources I'm posting too, it gives those with an interest a place to learn from experts.
Mr. Steele instructs. He does quite well financially these days with over 300K in youtube subscribers and other multiple source of income. It shows you that even in the world of hobby RC drones there are professionals and in the case of racing quads there are many! This indicates a fast growing market, first for the consumption of content (golfers watch golf on TV) and products, the regular RC plane hobby doesn't have this many professionals who make their living directly from the hobby like quad racers have in just 3 years.
Quad racing and freestyle appeal to people who like to race cars and such, but is much cheaper than maintaining a muscle car! A few generations back and guys like Steele here would have been flying fighters over europe or the Pacific in WW2 or jets in the cold war. For a generation that grew up playing video games, for some it's the next logical step, but it involves dealing with reality, and that can be difficult at times, like when yer up to yer ass in thorns trying to find your crashed quad! There are consequences to crashing, both physical (ya go for a walk of shame) and financial, if ya break something or lose it, therefore the pucker factor remains, people go to casinos for a reason. Also yer ass is in the thing, virtually at least, and like yer ego is on the line here sometimes, there is a visceral reaction, a beginner squirms in the chair to avoid obstacles for instance. The more on the line, the bigger the rush, just don't put your actual life on the line for one though, losing cash is enough to stimulate and motivate, so is winning it in a race one day.

Always Check Your Gear
Went out flying to make sure everything was in working order before this shoot. I like to not only fly the gear at home before I leave, but I also like to fly on location before hand. The elevation changes and relative humidity have an effect on which props I will choose.

Analog or Digital Video 
(How to FPV 2020) Part 5
In this video we talk about the choice of picking analog or digital for your FPV video system. There are many pros and cons to both but at the end of the day you have to make a choice on which goggles and systems fit your personal needs.
