FPV or First Person View racing is becoming increasingly popular for RC car enthusiasts. This type of racing allows you to experience the thrill of RC car racing from the driver’s seat, as if you were actually in the car. You can now put FPV on your own RC car and join in on the fun.
The first step in putting FPV on your RC car is to buy a camera and video transmitter. There are a number of different cameras and transmitters available, so it’s important to research which one will work best for your budget and needs. Once you have purchased your camera and transmitter, it’s time to install them on your RC car.
The installation process will vary depending on the type of camera and transmitter you have chosen. Generally speaking, the camera should be placed in front of the vehicle, pointing towards where you want to record from.
The transmitter should be attached near the camera or in another location that provides good reception. You may also need to attach an antenna to your transmitter for better reception.
Once your camera and transmitter are installed, it’s time to connect them to a monitor or other display device. This can be done with HDMI cables or by using an FPV receiver such as a Fat Shark model. Once everything is connected, you can then begin recording from your RC car using special FPV software such as Liftoff or EZ-FPV.
In addition to installing a camera and transmitter, there are other modifications that can be made to improve your FPV experience. For example, adding a roll cage or lights can help keep your vehicle safe while racing at night or in inclement weather conditions. It’s also possible to add sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes which can provide valuable data about how well you are driving.
Conclusion
Putting FPV on an RC car is relatively easy once you have purchased all the necessary components. With some basic knowledge about installation processes and potential modifications, anyone can transform their RC car into an FPV-ready machine that will let them experience their favorite hobby from a new perspective.
