Orqa

Orqa is a Croatia-based company that designs and manufactures drone first-person view (FPV) goggles. The goggles combine high-resolution displays with low-latency video transmission to provide an immersive flight experience for drone operators. Orqa's hardware is built to be compatible with a range of drone systems, supporting both recreational and professional use cases. The company also develops the firmware that controls the goggles' settings, video processing, and user interface. Orqa emphasizes ergonomic design and optical clarity in its product development. While specific figures regarding production volume or market share are not publicly disclosed, the firm operates as a dedicated provider of FPV goggles within the broader drone ecosystem.

Orqa's distinguishing attributes include its focus on integrating custom optics with proprietary firmware enhancements tailored for FPV applications. In April 2023, the company disclosed that a former contractor had allegedly implanted a time bomb in the bootloader of its goggles, which later activated and rendered affected devices inoperable. Following the discovery, Orqa warned users that an unauthorized firmware update released by the perpetrator was likely compromised and advised against its installation. The company subsequently developed an official security patch to address the vulnerability, which underwent final testing before being prepared for public release. Orqa remains headquartered in Croatia, and no public sources indicate a parent company or subsidiary relationship. The firm continues to operate as an independent entity specializing in drone vision systems.
