Assemble your own Arduino-based FPV headtracker to control a camera that moves with your head, letting you look around and observe your surroundings while flying or driving RC vehicles for a more immersive experience.

Ever wanted to feel like you're actually inside your RC vehicle or aircraft? With this FPV head-tracking camera, you can.

By combining Arduino Pro Mini microcontrollers, a 5.8GHz FPV camera, an MPU6050 motion-tracking sensor, and NRF24L01 transceiver modules, you'll be able to control your RC car, drone, or airplane while seeing the environment around you through the moving camera—just like a real-life pilot. The system works with any FPV goggles to give you a truly immersive first-person view.

This project is perfect for anyone interested in electronics, DIY RC builds, or just looking for a fun challenge. I walk you through assembling and setting up the headtracking camera system, pairing it with your RC vehicle, and getting everything running smoothly. If you're looking to add a new perspective to your RC hobby, or just want to dive deeper into sensors and wireless communication, this project is for you!
