What GetFPV does

GetFPV is a Sarasota, Florida-based e-commerce retailer (GetFPV LLC, founded 2012) specializing in First Person View (FPV) drones, quadcopters, and the full ecosystem of parts and accessories that surround the hobby and commercial use of those aircraft. Its catalog spans 15+ categories including FPV goggles and HD video systems, ready-to-fly (RTF) drones, DIY kits, quadcopter frames, micro and nano quadcopters, flight controllers and ESCs, motors, LiPo batteries and chargers, radio controllers, propellers, action cameras, FPV planes, accessories, and 3D printing supplies, sourced from over 100 partner brands such as DJI, Lumenier, BETAFPV, EMAX, Walksnail, HDZero, RadioMaster, Team Black Sheep, and iFlight. The company also assembles, test-flies, and tunes an exclusive line of in-house RTF drones, positioning it as both a multi-brand distributor and a custom builder.

Operationally, GetFPV runs a Magento-based direct-to-consumer storefront with same-day shipping on orders over $199, a Sarasota curbside pickup option, and worldwide fulfillment, augmented by a reseller distribution program for B2B channel partners and listings on Google Shopping. Customer segments span FPV hobbyists and racing pilots (primary), commercial and cinematography professionals (including NDAA-compliant and enterprise buyers), education institutions (K-12 and college), and industrial/specialty operators (fiber optic, surveying). Pricing is fully transactional with no subscription component, ranging from sub-$10 small parts to roughly $2,900 premium DJI bundles, supported by recurring Flash Sales, Clearance, and Summer Sale events and a Crash Cash loyalty rewards program.

The business model is asset-light specialty retail: revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of drones, components, and accessories, with gross margin and assortment breadth (rather than recurring software revenue) as the primary economic levers. Differentiation rests on a curated one-stop-shop selection, an in-house expert build service, fast fulfillment, community-facing educational content (GetFPV Learn), and established brand recognition within the FPV community. The company remains privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no M&A history on record.

Emerging players

• iFlight: iFlight is a manufacturer of FPV frames, RTF quads, and electronics with its own direct storefront. Like BETAFPV, it is both a GetFPV partner brand and a direct-to-consumer competitor on select SKUs.
• BETAFPV: BETAFPV is a manufacturer of micro FPV drones and accessories that also sells direct to consumers. It is both a partner brand stocked by GetFPV and a direct competitor on micro/nano drone SKUs.

Broad incumbents

• Adorama: Adorama is a major US electronics retailer offering consumer and prosumer drones alongside cameras, audio, and computing. Overlaps with GetFPV on prosumer/consumer drone SKUs but not on FPV specialization.
• B&H Photo Video: B&H Photo Video is a large US electronics and camera retailer carrying DJI drones, FPV equipment, and accessories alongside its broader catalog. It competes on selection and trust but lacks GetFPV's FPV-specific depth and in-house builds.
• Amazon: Amazon is the dominant US e-commerce marketplace and carries DJI, BETAFPV, and other FPV-adjacent brands at competitive pricing. Represents the broadest competitive threat on selection and shipping speed despite lacking FPV-specific expertise.

Direct peers

• Dronefly: Dronefly is a US drone retailer covering commercial, enterprise, and FPV categories with strong inspection/industrial positioning. Comparable to GetFPV on the commercial/industry drone catalog and NDAA focus.
• DroneNerds: DroneNerds is a US drone retailer serving both consumer and enterprise/commercial customers with DJI, Autel, and FPV brands. Comparable to GetFPV on commercial/industry drone assortment and NDAA-compliant positioning, though broader in scope.
• Pyrodrone: Pyrodrone is a US-focused FPV drone retailer offering parts, frames, motors, and Ready-To-Fly builds to the racing and freestyle community. Overlaps directly with GetFPV in audience, category mix, and emphasis on expert-curated FPV gear.
• RaceDayQuads: RaceDayQuads is a leading US-based direct-to-consumer retailer of FPV drones, parts, and accessories, with its own RDQ-brand in-house builds. It is the closest comparable to GetFPV in assortment depth, target customer (FPV racers and freestyle pilots), and in-house build program.
• Multirotor Super Store: Multirotor Super Store is a US retailer specializing in multirotor/FPV drones, parts, and accessories. Direct overlap with GetFPV on hobbyist FPV assortment and educational support, though a smaller catalog footprint.
