Aomway 1/3 camera review: CCD, 650TVL, OSD and Mic
With the Aomway 1/3 CCD 650TVL, you get more than a simple camera. Its OSD allows you to monitor the elapsed flight time and battery voltage. Frankly, in the 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,...
Turbowing CYCLOPS 3: DVR Camera for FPV
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...
Foxeer HS1177 V2 review: Better housing, improved electronics
Foxeer's XAT600M classic FPV camera gets new skin and some extras. The upgraded Foxeer HS1177 V2 has a metal case and wider input voltage. To be trendy, the camera is available in 3 colors (orange, blue, and black).
The First edition of the HS1177 camera, due to its low weight and good image quality has quickly become popular among professional FPV pilots...
Eachine TX01S camera review: Good range, Flexibility in mounting
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 also be successfully used on low-profile aircraft.
At first look, except for the nice price tag, the most significant advantage of this combo camera over purchasing separately a camera and 5.8G VTX is...
Foxeer Legend 3 review: 4K FPV at decent price
While many drone camera manufacturers moved to cubic shape, Foxeer Legend 3 sees the return of the candybar form factor that Mobius debuted a few years ago. Don't be afraid, the old design is paired with UHD 4K video recording, which is a must-have in 2017.
When it comes to racing quad-copters, it is very hard to find a proper...
RunCam Split revolutionary FPV camera
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 3 HD FPV quadcopter camera
RunCam 3 - worth to buy alternative for the GoPro Session 5?
When the RunCam 3 was rumored I had a mixed filing regarding this camera. I don't know if it was a smart movement from the manufacturer to announce in 2017 a camera without 4K capability.
I contacted RC to request a free sample in order to review the RunCam 3 camera. Frankly they...
Foxeer Box 4k Superview quadcopter camera
Foxeer Box 4k camera with GoPro Session design
Although I find the "Mobius" design much proper for quadcopters, it seems that all major drone camera manufacturers move to cubic design. Like GoPro Hero, this new Foxeer Box 4k comes with the same compact cubic shape (40 x 40 x 40mm).
Compared to its predecessor (Legend 1), the Foxeer Box 4k camera offers much higher...
Eachine DVR03 review: Camera, VTX, Antenna and DVR
Eachine DVR03 FPV camera with integrated DVR (video recorder)
At first, impression, adding video recording feature to an 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...
RunCam Swift Mini FPV 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...
Eachine DVR03 first 4in1 FPV camera
Eachine DVR03 with built-in 5.8G 72CH VTX and DVR (video recording)
Following the success of 3in1 cameras, Eachine came up this time with a 4in1 camera with integrated DVR. The Eachine DVR03 FPV camera integrates: 520TVL camera, 72CH VTX, antenna and HD DVR. The recorded HD videos are stored on a removable micro SD memory card.
The integrated DVR module allows not...
