Steam FPV
Cinematic and freestyle FPV flying. Flights on YouTube and Instagram; here are the rules, brands and notes behind them.
Hobby pilot
Cinematic & freestyle FPV
Smooth cinematic lines and freestyle, flown for the joy of it and posted on YouTube and Instagram. This site collects what sits behind the footage: the EU rules every hobby pilot needs, the brands I recommend, and soon notes on settings, builds and the week in FPV.
Start here
Fly FPV legally in the EU
Goggles change the rules: in the EU’s open category an FPV flight needs a spotter beside you. The guide covers operator registration, the A1/A3 certificate, where a home-built quad may fly, insurance and the national details for Slovakia, each checked against EASA and the national authority.
What this site covers
- EU rules for hobby pilots: registration, pilot certificate, goggles and spotters, geographical zones.
- Cinematic settings: rates, camera angle, shutter and ND filters, stabilisation (coming soon).
- Builds and brands: the frames, motors and flight controllers I recommend.
- The week in FPV: a short weekly roundup of firmware, gear and rule changes that matter in Europe (coming soon).
