Gnizdo
A non-profit and a group of companies bringing together FPV drone manufacturing, international competitions, pilot schools and support for Ukraine's defenders.
Про Gnizdo
Gnizdois more than an organisation. It is an ecosystem that brings volunteers, athletes, soldiers and FPV drone builders around one purpose.
We work on several fronts at once: from running international FPV competitions in the UK to building drones for Ukraine's defenders.
Our experience is in demand worldwide. We join sporting achievement to military necessity, because in this war every drone can save a life.
We have our own training grounds, including in the Lviv region, where we run competitions and practice.

Plain explanations without marketing — useful even if you never hire us.
Telemetry where the link drops for hours
Telemetry where the mobile link drops for hours: store-and-forward, clock drift, deduplication, staleness on the dashboard, alerts that do not cry.
Raspberry Pi on site: when it is a sound choice
When a single-board computer next to the equipment is sober engineering, and when it becomes a source of night calls. Power, SD cards, temperature, updates.
Custom system or an off-the-shelf box: an honest comparison
When a boxed product wins, when custom wins, and the third option: a working system adapted to your process. Lock-in, code ownership, support, migration risk.
