FPV does not have any delay. it is a direct view system and provides ability to see where you go or fly, like as if you were in the cockpit or behind the steering wheel. You can, also, record video feed of where you flying to or driving to, along with, silly as it is, use it for playing video games.
Concept is nothing new, similar devices has been around for long time. Same principle is implemented in the military unmanned flying vehicles.
FPVs are very popular in Europe, for some reason - very little known in the USA. Prices vary greatly. I came across some that are listed at $1300.
Look around and price them up. Then, if you want to, drop me a word. I am, actually, importing those direct. We had success with the trial one and have more coming this week.

Just FYI, I am opening FPV only store here as soon as I get my shipment. Hopefully, if all goes right, Friday. Looks like you'll want to wait for me to do so.
