When it comes to FPV drones, the performance of the camera is very important. While for aerial filming the image quality and recording capabilities are the most important things, for FPV flights latency and weight are the important features. Let’s be fair, Caddx Turtle V2 camera’s “Split” technology is not something new, but seems to provide the best results. It offers low latency video feed even during recording your flights.
The Caddx Turtle V2 camera is an excellent choice for smaller builds where weight is critical and you can’t use a secondary GoPro style DVR camera. The second generation Caddx Turtle camera is capable to record videos with up to 1920 x 1080 pixels at 60 frames per second.
Using the included 5D-OSD menu control board, you can fine tune the image quality of the camera. In addition, the Turtle V2 also features some kind of telemetry, it is capable to display the main battery’s voltage.
