That is why we work with a spotter who watches airspace and surroundings, with pre-defined lines and clear arrangements with drivers and track management.

This allows fast, tight and flowing flights that a classic camera drone cannot do.<\/p>\n<h3>Can an FPV drone chase a moving car?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, with planning: pre-defined lines, briefing with the driver and a spotter. For very high speeds we combine FPV with car-to-car from the camera car.<\/p>\n<h3>Which camera flies on the FPV drone?<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the job a GoPro, the built-in camera of the DJI Avata 2, or on the Cinelifter a RED Komodo for cinema-grade images.<\/p>\n<h3>Does an FPV flight need a spotter?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Because the pilot flies with goggles, a spotter watches airspace and surroundings. That is standard for us.<\/p>\n<h3>What does an FPV drone shoot cost?<\/h3>\n<p>From \u20ac1,300 net per shoot day with a drone team, from \u20ac3,900 net as a drone, FPV and car-to-car combination \u2013 including pilot, equipment, insurance and permit coordination.<\/p>\n<h2>Request an FPV shoot<\/h2>\n<p>Tell us subject, location and date \u2013 you get a reply with a flight idea and quote the same day.<\/p>\n<p>Phone <a href=\"tel:+4915122840959\">+49 151 22840959<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"mailto:info@vr-copter.de\">info@vr-copter.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vr-copter.de\/en\/\">Home<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/vr-copter.de\/en\/drone-filming-projects\/\">All projects<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is an FPV drone?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"FPV stands for first person view: the pilot flies with goggles from the camera\u2019s perspective.
