Please note: Geeksvana is not paid by FPVUK and they are not sponsoring this content. In fact, Sean is a member of the BMFA for club reasons. However, due to cost of membership and benefits associated with FPVUK membership, we feel it is more likely FPVUK will suit most recreational drone flyers. It is also the thoughts of Sean that FPVUK is more active and takes more steps to protect free and open drone use in the UK. So, they have our recommendation.
