Well, I own an S900 configured for 2 operators, so I know exactly what I am talking about. When your camera op is panning around a POI and you go straight to allow him to do his shot, if you don't have the FPV to tell you exactly where you are, you cold end up very easily in a tree, a wall or something, specially if all of this is happening in the distance. Los is not enough, not mentioning the orientation problem.This is why I have not only 2 but 3 cams as a standard installation on the 900 ( I mean, it's not a mod). 1 front facing, 1 vertical facing, and the GH4 Panasonic to shoot the video. This is the standard configuration for professionals working as a team.
There is a YouTube video of an inspire 1 literally going up in flames because of just this problem of the pilot loosing orientation because of the camera looking elsewhere. I agree that for it to be a truly complete proper and safe more more situations dual control system that there needs to be a dual fpv feed.
