RunCam Swift Mini FPV camera

RunCam Swift Mini camera

RunCam Swift Mini camera for FPV racing quadcopters

Although the RunCam Swift Mini is much smaller than its predecessor, it has the same weight (12g). In my opinion RC should also focus to reduce the weight of their FPV cameras. Currently there are on the market AIO VTX cameras that weight only 4 grams.

Thanks to the wide input voltage range, this RC Swift Mini camera can be used with up to 9s Li-Po batteries (36V). Note: if you want to use it with 1s Li-Po (3.7V) you will need a 3.7v to 5v boost converter.

On the backside of the camera there are two tiny connectors. Through the two-pin plug (right one) can be connected the included OSD cable which allows to configure and fine tune the Swift Mini camera. The second connector(5-36V, GND and Video) allows to power the camera and connect to a wireless image transmission module (5.8G VTX).
