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...
FPV Airport Backpack for racing fanatics
In my opinion, the most important goal of the FPV backpack manufacturers is to design a product that fits any racing quadcopter. Nevertheless, if you want to fit inside more than one drone, the challenge is even bigger. At first impression, the FPV Airport Helipak by ThinkThank is not just very customizable but also comfortable.
Thanks to the wide range of products,...
