Fat Shark, established in 2007, specializes in producing FPV (first-person view) headsets designed specifically for drone racing. These headsets utilize radio transmission technology to provide real-time video streams sent from drones. Fat Shark's products were featured at the Consumer Electronics Show Drone Rodeo events in both 2015 and 2017. In 2016, the company earned a Terry Award for the top FPV product, as determined by votes from hobbyists via HobbyKing. Multiple Fat Shark items were highlighted in the 2017 Drone Enthusiast compilation of "Best FPV Goggles & Gadgets."
The organization organizes an annual drone competition known as the Fat Shark Frenzy and Drone Olympics in Ontario and played a significant role as a key sponsor during the inaugural U.S. National Drone Racing Championships held in 2015. By 2020, Fat Shark had established itself as a premier brand among drone racing goggles.
Founded by Greg French with its main office located in Shenzhen, China, Fat Shark became part of Redcat Holdings through an acquisition in mid-2020.
