Plug and play camera options for Tyro129?
#1
I'd like to try other cameras to maybe get better video quality but am unsure which micro cams I could swap in without soldering. Any suggestions?

Stock camera is Caddx.us turbo f2.

Caddx Ratel 2 would be a nice upgrade over the Turbo F2.
I had used Turbo 2 in the past and it's in the surplus bin for a reason.

Ratel would have more natural colour , detail, less over sharpened edge artefacts , better contrast gradation especially in the shadow area in difficult lighting compared to the Turbo F2. I have a few Ratel and the new Ratel 2 picture quality looks similar but with even better contrast.

The only thing with Caddx is their notorious dust on sensors issue. Really should up their game in this area compared to Foxeer/Runcam. After a few crashes, I often find dusts appearing on their camera sensors from $20 Eos 2 to $70 Caddx Tarsier

Well, that is definitely the best video quality I've seen from analog cameras. Thanks man! And it is as simple to install as the stock tyro cam, just plug it in and good to go?

You can see in Gal Kremer's video it comes with jst 3 pin wire connector plug so it should just plug in as long as the VTX jst plug is the same.

Ok, thanks! The camera in the tyro plugs into a 3-pin port on the FC. I'm still pretty umfamiliar with all the different types of plugs that this hobby involves you with but yea it looks to have the same kind of plug.

You are right, FC plug for the camera signal. Not VTX.

Ordered the Ratel 2. Will be interesting to see if it makes a difference.
