BrainFPV

BrainFPV made drone electronics for first-person-view pilots. It built flight controllers for FPV drones, which are flown while the pilot watches a live camera feed. The company was founded in 2014. It has announced that it is closing.

The company launched its first Brain flight controller in 2014. The site describes it as a 30 by 30 millimeter flight controller with an integrated on-screen display. In 2020 the company released the RADIX 2. In 2023 it released the RADIX 2 HD. The site says many pilots still fly these boards for high-end cinematography.

The site says the company shipped tens of thousands of flight controllers and components since 2014. It sold to FPV pilots around the world. The site describes BrainFPV as a small company that focused on engineering rather than hype.

The company says the decision to close was hard. It says the FPV industry was moving toward military applications. The company did not want to follow that path. It also says that continuing to grow the business without it was no longer financially realistic.

The BrainFPV website will stay online for the foreseeable future. The site says manuals, firmware, and documentation will remain available. The flight controller firmware source code will stay on GitHub.

The site is signed by Jenni and Martin. It thanks the pilots, builders, and racers who used the products. The site says the community the company built will continue. It says respect, inclusivity, and curiosity shaped the group from the start.
