What is the difference between a normal drone and a FPV drone?

2025-08-15

Latest company case about What is the difference between a normal drone and a FPV drone?
Normal Drones:
Control:
Typically flown using a remote controller with a live video feed displayed on a smartphone, tablet, or the controller itself.
Usually equipped with a gimbal for stabilization, resulting in smooth, steady footage.

Flight Characteristics:
Focus on stability and ease of use, with features like GPS-based positioning and obstacle avoidance.

Examples:
DJI Mavic series, Autel EVO series.

FPV Drones:
Control: Operated via a remote controller and FPV goggles or a monitor displaying a real-time video feed from the drone's camera.
Camera: Often has a fixed camera with limited or no stabilization.
Flight Characteristics: Designed for speed, agility, and acrobatic maneuvers, often in "Acro" mode where the pilot has full control over the drone's orientation.
Examples: Custom-built FPV drones, DJI FPV, DJI Avata.
