Hi!

I am just curious about how the hobby of FPV drones was started?
There is no much information that I have found, just that the hobby was started by mid 2000's.
Does anyone know about a first individual who build an FPV first?

It is really cool that this hobby is made by a big comunity of builder pilots.

Thanks,

Oriol

In ye olden days the gyros and accelerometers were knicked from Wii controllers (http://www.multiwii.com/) and the FPV cams were taken from security cameras.

Thanks Banelle!

It is so wonderful and inspiring to learn a bit about the pioneers of FPV!
It is also so cool, that the internet comunity has shared its knowledge to improve this hobby, and make it affordable.
