BrainFPV LLC Closure Announcement

BrainFPV was founded in 2014 with a simple goal: build premium drone electronics for people who love flying FPV. That same year, we launched the original Brain flight controller, the world’s first 30×30 mm flight controller with an integrated OSD. It set a new standard, and honestly, it still makes us super proud.

In 2020 and 2023, we followed up with RADIX 2 and RADIX 2 HD. Many of you are still flying them today, especially in high‑end cinematography. They remain some of the highest‑performance flight controllers out there, and that’s thanks to all of you pushing them to their limits.

Since 2014, we’ve shipped tens of thousands of flight controllers and components to FPV pilots around the world. Every order, every googly-eye, every message, every build photo meant so much to us. BrainFPV was always a small company, and we liked it that way. We focused on engineering, not hype. (Yes, we’re still laughing about the 32 kHz sampling craze lol)

Along the way, we met so many pilots, creators, and enthusiasts. A lot of you became friends, real forever friends, and that doesn’t end here.

The decision to close BrainFPV wasn’t sudden, and it wasn’t simple. The direction the FPV industry has taken, and the increasing pressure to pivot toward military applications, didn’t align with who we are or what we want to build. Continuing to grow the business without going down that path was no longer financially realistic. So we made the hard call.

Even though the business is closing, we’re not disappearing.

The BrainFPV website, including manuals, firmware, and documentation will stay online for the foreseeable future. The flight controller firmware source code will remain available on GitHub: https://github.com/BrainFPV

Most importantly: everyone is still welcome here. That part never changes. From day one, this community has been built on respect, inclusivity, curiosity, and a shared passion for FPV. Different backgrounds, different perspectives, different flying styles. None of that ever divided us. It made us stronger.

You challenged us, supported us, corrected us, inspired us. You helped each other, you shared ideas, you debated respectfully, and you made this space something we were proud to be part of. For realz, guys.

Thank you for flying with us, building with us, arguing with us, laughing with us, and believing in what we were trying to do. We love you all so much.

BrainFPV may be closing, but the community you built isn’t going anywhere.
