FPV cameras

Recording the journey of your FPV flights without a DVR camera like this Turbowing CYCLOPS 3 can be pain in the ass. Firstly, I used an external mini DVR which I connected to the output of my FPV display. Quality was nice but complicated to wire everything together. Later I purchased another monitor with built-in DVR, wiring problem solved...

When it comes to micro drones, it is very hard to find a camera that is small and light enough to fit in. Measuring 15 x 15 mm and weighting only 4.09 grams, the Eachine C600T camera can be lifted by very small drones. At the moment, basically there are two approaches in the design of FPV cameras, "all-in-one" (one device, VTX...

The Eachine TX01S camera is specially designed for mini FPV drones like the TinyWhoop where space and weight is critical. Due to its modular design, the TX01S VTX camera can be also successfully used on low profile aircraft. At first look, excepting the nice price tag, the biggest advantage of this combo camera over purchasing separately a camera and 5.8G VTX is that...

PZ0420M aka SkyPlus lightweight FPV camera Most of the TVL security cams can be also used as first person view cameras and few of them are even cheaper than the RunCam PZ0420M. Even so, I through that it would be more appropriate to use a dedicated camera to build my FPV system. When you are looking for a FPV camera you should decide firstly the following: budget, if you opt for a CMOS...

Many say that the modular design of the RunCam Split camera is "revolutionary" or "game changer" but, in my opinion, actually it was born from the patent issue of the RC3 (claimed by GoPro). Practically they splitted the camera into 3 parts (lens module, DVR and WiFi module). Frankly I don't know why they didn't included also a 5.8G...

RunCam Owl Plus review - Your eyes during night flights Probably everyone knows that owl's eyes are large in order to improve their efficiency, especially under extremely low light conditions. This is why RunCam equipped their Owl Plus StarLight camera with a larger image sensor. While their other FPV cameras have smaller 1/3" image sensors, the RunCam Owl Plus has a 1/2" senor....

Xiaomi Yi 2 4K- Best camera for aerial filming? Yesterday, out of curiosity I searched with Google for "Xiaomi Yi 2 review". The results were pretty impressive. I found plenty of professional articles about this camera. Most of the reviews have concluded that the Yi 4K is an excellent action camera with superior image quality. Even when the Xiaomi Yi 4K was put in a side-by-side comparison with the...

EKOO S090 Mobius type small quadcopter camera I have more than five mid sized quadcopters with stock cameras from 0.3 to 5MP, honestly there is not much image quality difference between them. Lots of times it happened to go outside an play with one of my quad and at the end, when I wanted to download the pictures, I realized that I...

With the Aomway 1/3 CCD 650TVL you got more than a simple camera. Its OSD allows you to monitor the elapsed flight time and battery voltage. Frankly, in case of FPV flights, these two are the most important telemetry information. It is critical to know if you have enough craft to return and land. Aomway was founded in 2011 and, as their...

Eachine DVR03 FPV camera with integrated DVR (video recorder) At first impression, adding video recording feature to a FPV camera sounds very good. Using the Eachine DVR03 camera you will not need any additional device to capture the journey of your flight. Yes, this is great, but think about you crash on a river and your videos are gone. Over the last year...

FPV flying means that you see what your drone is seeing in real-time. In order to provide a fully immersive experience, besides a good FPV goggles, your drone needs to be equipped with a high performance FPV camera like this Foxeer Predator Micro. Foxeer released their "Predator" FPV camera in two size variants, "Micro" and "Mini". Featuring same hardware from image sensor...
