I have been itching to do some FPV for ages. I've had the gear for a while and have just mounted it on my 450 size quad and had my first flight. A little scary but I'm hooked.
To get used to the goggles I hooked everything to a cheap RC car and went to the local schoolyard for a play.
Then I put it on my Turnigy Trailblazer truck (bought for this purpose as the nicad pack in the car died. I repowered it with a 3s 2200 but that's another story) and drove it around my yard for a while.
I strongly recommend doing something like this to get used to the goggles before you put something in the air.
You don't need to go all out crazy like I did but FPV is fun on a truck with some get up and go.
Jumping from FPV perspective is crazy mad fun too.
And if you have never done FPV use a chair, the body seems to get fooled into thinking you are moving and a degree of motion sickness may result. Ask me how I know.
