What an FPV flythrough is
FPV stands for first-person view. The pilot flies a small, nimble drone through goggles, seeing exactly what the camera sees, so it can skim along a roof line, drop between buildings and follow the activity on the ground at close range. A standard camera drone is built to hover and glide high above a site; an FPV drone is built to move through it.
The result is one continuous journey that shows how a place fits together and what actually happens there, in a minute or two of film.
Where it works best
Colleges and training centres with practical areas, event and wedding venues, factories and industrial sites, sports grounds, holiday parks and attractions: anywhere with space, movement and a story a still photo cannot tell.
Made to be reused
One shoot gives you a main film for your website and YouTube, short clips of each area for social media, and a silent loop for the top of a web page. It combines well with drone photography, a 360 virtual tour or still photography on the same visit.
