Do you think the Flip will be FPV compatible?

The Mini 4 Pro and other camera drones are FPV compatible, so why not the Flip? Maybe not with the FPV3 controller and manual control but with the MC3 it seems doable.

Only reason I can see not to is incremental support costs, which could be an issue at the Flip price point.

Your other post in another similar thread also made me think that if there was FPV compatibility even if limited, it would cut into NEO sales since they overlap a lot.

Not sure if the discussion was here or over in the Neo forum, but the thinking was that the FPV wouldn't be possible with the Flip because of the design with how the arms fold and flying upside down might close up the arms.

I had been thinking along the lines of other camera drones like the Mini 4 Pro that have some form of compatibility, but right now it’s probably unlikely since it would cut into sales of NEO.

It doesn't seem like the flip has enough power to be an FPV. Mine gets batted around by the wind too much.

That could be an issue, but most of the FPV videos I see the pilot is usually flying at a lower height than you would typically fly if you were flying for video or photos.
