Those dangers could be anything from an incoming helicopter, a kite, a flock of geese or maybe just another drone user. Bottom line: You'll want an ungoggled spotter to watch out for any dangers. In the UK, for example, you have to always be in line of sight of your drone, which is a gray area (at best) if you're wearing goggles. That means you're totally blocked off from the world around you which is not only risky, but can be illegal, depending on your local drone laws. The nature of FPV flying means you need to be wearing a headset. Try setting up some safe plastic hoops in your park and practice flying through them before you try the same with something more solid. My advice? Play it safe while you get used to using the drone and do lots of practice flights. There are sensors that warn if you're too close to an object, but even so, when you're skimming over trees at top speed, a split second of missing a warning can be the difference between safely passing a branch or smashing straight into it. I've seen amazing FPV videos of people expertly flying through tiny gaps between rocks or trees, but it's now clear to me that must take hours of practice to get right. The wide angle view of the camera means it's difficult to get a proper idea of your proximity to objects, which can be something of a danger when you're flying at speeds of up to 87 miles per hour (140 kilometers per hour). If you're among those who really suffer with motion sickness then an FPV drone may not be for you. I definitely experienced it with the drone, but not to an extent that I felt physically ill - I just had to take regular short breaks while flying. It's much the same as using a VR headset, so if you've ever felt sick after playing a game using the Oculus Quest or the HTC Vive then prepare for similar feelings here. As a result, there's a high chance of motion sickness, caused by your brain thinking your body is moving while you're actually staying still. The nature of the first-person view means you're seeing through the eyes of the drone as you send it speeding over the landscape.
