Default RE: FPV info and help

Provided your player has a video input to act as a screen, you could use that.
But it is no good if you want to use a pan/tilt hooked to a head tracker.
And really, this is what makes it all possible, as flying with fixed forward image is like trying to fly looking through a keyhole.

All to often you are cruising around and lose your bearings, especially when looking straight ahead. But with the pan/tilt you can look around and generally always spot a landmark or recognisable object. It also makes flying more accurate as you can look along the wing for the right moment to turn, especially important when turning onto finals for landing.
