Hi friends
#1
I'm a long time drone enthusiast and teacher who now teaches a drone licensing class in a Central NY high school. I've gotten a grant for over $36,000 to bring in lots of drones, radios, and FPV headsets, as well as soldering equipment and all the batteries and chargers I need. It's very exciting, but let me assure you, high school students can bust a drone like nobody else! In the first few weeks of school, they've already managed to nuke 2 batteries by letting the balance connector drop into the fan shrouds, and fried two motors on two separate quads in the process. Nothing like a shorted battery to burn a drone motor up. 

I'm currently trying to learn the ins and outs of the digital FPV systems, and have a ProTek 2.5 (pusher) HD and DJI goggles to match up to it. That's the reason I'm actually here. You'll see my inquiry posts about that hot mess shortly.

Thats cool you got a grant!! Congrats man.

You likely already know but "HDZero" is the competing digital system for FPV. You may find it can be more affordable than DJI but DJI is clearly superior in image quality.
