There is a drone that is rapidly drawing attention in specialized professional fields such as video shooting and search operations. It is the FPV drone—the pilot flies it while watching, in real time and from a first-person view (First-Person-View), the footage transmitted from the FPV camera mounte…

The FPV Drone Bible Detail images

The FPV Drone Bible (FPV 드론 바이블) is broadly composed of Part 1, which provides a theoretical explanation of the parts and tools that make up an FPV drone, and Part 2, which teaches how to assemble an FPV drone step by step based on an actual drone training curriculum. In addition, a separate appendix gives an overall introduction to Betaflight, so this single book contains everything—drone theory, assembly, and software setup. Rather than simply having you follow along when building a drone, it explains in detail how each part operates and how information and electrical current are transmitted. As a result, even if the equipment changes or a product is discontinued, if you deepen your understanding based on this book you can build the skills to make an FPV drone in any situation.

Even if reading is not usually easy for you, if you intend to get started with FPV drones we recommend reading this book carefully at least once. If there are terms or content you don't understand while reading, there is no need to force yourself to understand them. As you gain experience and grow familiar with the subject, the content that was once hard to grasp will come to you naturally. At that point, you need only turn the pages once more. You may also go straight into assembling an FPV drone instead of starting with the theory. Because Part 2 has optimized the order of FPV drone construction, if you refer to its structure and follow the flow of the book, you can build your own FPV drone without much difficulty. After that, if there are parts you don't quite understand during assembly and repair, reading the theory in Part 1 at that point will help.

This book will serve as a mentor to everyone who wants to get started with FPV drones. It is a precious reference for those who have been interested in FPV drones but needed help because getting started was difficult, or for those who have already started but had no mentor to accompany them through the process of reaching their goals. If you dream of becoming an expert related to FPV drones—in drone education, drone filming, drone competitions, drone military specialties, the drone industry, or as a hobby, among others—this book will be with you in achieving what you aim for.
