Hi folks, I've been using as an fpv camera the fatshark pilot that a friend gave me, but as the times passes the image get worst and its so saturated that i cant even fly the quad the sky gets white burned and only the grass cant been seen through the goggles. So any good advise for a new fpv camera will be appreciate it.

They've released a few different cameras since I bought mine, so it's worth looking at those first. If you look at other brands make sure you get a CCD camera as these perform better than the CMOS based cameras. Current quad: ZMR 250 / DYS SE2205 / Littlebee 20A ESCs / Drone Lab 1500 4S / Naze32 Rev5 / BF 2.7.1 FPV: Runcam Skyplus / Aomway 200mw VTX / Fatshark DomV1 >>>>>>>>>>Check Out My Build<<<<<<<<<< 16-Jun-2016, 09:09 AM HS1177 is a good camera and widely used 16-Jun-2016, 12:49 PM Check out the Runcam Swift, it's probably one of the best day time FPV cam out there right now... https://oscarliang.com/runcam-swift-fpv-camera-hs1177/ for night flying, check out the Owl Plus: https://oscarliang.com/runcam-owl-plus-review/ 16-Jun-2016, 07:04 PM (16-Jun-2016, 12:49 PM)Oscar Wrote: Check out the Runcam Swift, it's probably one of the best day time FPV cam out there right now... https://oscarliang.com/runcam-swift-fpv-camera-hs1177/ 100% 10-Jul-2016, 01:05 AM The foxeer arrow seems promising, just a better hs1177 10-Jul-2016, 01:24 AM 13-Jul-2016, 01:39 PM (This post was last modified: 13-Jul-2016, 01:45 PM by MishoIV.

I just don't like that you need to solder and drill holes for cables if you want to measure voltage for OSD. 13-Jul-2016, 01:53 PM (13-Jul-2016, 01:39 PM)MishoIV Wrote: For some people, that OSD will be enough. I just don't like that you need to solder and drill holes for cables if you want to measure voltage for OSD. Sorry, I meant the OSD is let down because it is constantly flashing in your eyes and I have not yet found a way to make it stay on or stay off, very annoying. Perhaps that can be fixed with a firmware update at some stage. But I agree with just needing a voltage read out as an OSD. 13-Jul-2016, 04:15 PM So you would not recommend runcam eagle, Oscar? Better get a Swift? My quad: RD-210 / ZMX V3 2206 2140kv / Aikon SEFM 30A / X-Racer F303 V3 / X4R-SB / Dronelab 1500 4S 50C 13-Jul-2016, 04:36 PM (13-Jul-2016, 04:15 PM)Luc Wrote: So you would not recommend runcam eagle, Oscar? The Eagle is going to be a bit pricey as far as i know it's going to be over $50-$60 ... It has 45ms delay, although I personally don't think it's a big deal, some people might not like it... the image quailty is better than the Swift IMO, Colour and Dynamic range is better than anything i have seen (they use something called Global WDR)... it looks better in my goggles than in DVR footage... if you don't mind the price and latency then I would give it a go Thanks for your insights, Oscar. $50-60 is heavy...I have quanum v2 pro googles, so 16:9 would be nice. The swift is 4:3 right? What's about IR filters? Should I go with IR block or IR sensitiv version of the swift?

The swift is 4:3 right? Yes Eagle is 16:9... and it looks kind of weird as well on 4:3 screen by the way... Swift is 4:3 so it will look stretched on your goggles... I would probably go for IR sensitive so you can fly at low light as well even at night... 13-Jul-2016, 08:41 PM (13-Jul-2016, 07:40 PM)Oscar Wrote: Swift is 4:3 so it will look stretched on your goggles... That isn't bad, you get used to it - so many people are flying with superview on HD cams and it's generally the same "setup". If it bothers anyone on quanums - there is a possibility to switch its screen to 4:3. Find me on Youtube and Instagram. I currently fly: DRC Aura, NOX5R, Minimalist 112 and drive a scrap RC car |
