With the delivery of the FAA Remote ID rule the foreseeable future of FPV has been defined, but the writing has been on the wall for a while now. While we all hope that some way will be made available for us to continue flying the ways that we have grown to love, it’s always wise to be prepared.

A few folks have started pushing innovation into the sub-250g space. Tommy Tabija (Ummagawd) and Bob Roogi (KababFPV) are two of the folks with the most coherent ideas on how to get HD footage in something resembling modern FPV flight with a sub-250g package.

The truly intriguing thing is that Tommy and Bob are approaching it from the exact opposite ends. Tommy wants to get to 249.9g and still have a 5” quad, while Bob has started as small and light as he can and is working up. The results of both of their efforts are truly fascinating.
