When I look into my crystal ball, the future of FPV looks very bright.

FPV is simply a technology that lets a RC pilot fly from the in the cockpit perspective rather then remotely from the ground. Taking videos is just a one use of the capability of FPV and many more will evolve. Video in no way requires FPV as any RC plane can be equipped to take video, it does make it easier.

Just like RC succeeded control line, 2.4ghz succeeded 72mhz, lipo succeeded nitro, arf succeeded kit built, the hobby will evolve. In 5 to 10 years I speculate that most RC planes, helis, gliders, multi rotors will be flown FPV. And as always the change will be difficult with those too set in their ways to accept it.

FPV equipment will get better and better, stereo wide angle view with head tracking that works, lighter equipment, cheaper equipment all will happen.

Think out of the box......................... competitions............... FPV pylon, FPV combat, FPV aerobatics, FPV Navy Carrier, FPV fun flies.

Different?? sure, too much for some to accept? sure, but it will happen.
