So here we are ... Nothing but Polars in stock and inflated second hand gear. If you were building a DJI based micro today (3/4"),

1.) Would you buy a caddx nebula pro second hand for $180

2.) Would you buy a polar caddx vista system knowing the limitations and latency of the system

3.) Would you wait and hope for a low latency version of the polar or another batch of new nebula pros

4.) Would you keep flying analog till this chip shortage shat blows over ?

Ugh this is frustrating haha....

I would wait until the end of August / beginning of September when there will be more options on the table with RunCam then also being an official DJI partner...

Oh wow.... Yeh I'll hold onto my cash and wait then. The dji system is going to be more and more interesting as more manufacturers move into the space. I'd love to see a runcam phoenix type cam for dji. Their phoenix 2 micro is still a top favorite of mine on analog.

I’m looking for another Caddx vtx/camera package but the camera selection seems poor.
Is Runcam going to be making Caddx and camera now for DJI ?

Yes, but you will need to wait another month or two. I personally wouldn't get the Caddx Polar unless you intend to specifically do night flying.

I'm holding out for something with low latency mode and both 16:9 and 4:3

That's the smart choice right now. I'm hoping Nebula Pro will come back, and I hope RunCam offers a Low Latency camera. The Polar isn't bad but its 60fps only, and when flying in and out of shadow, or towards and away from sunlight you do see the annoying white balance shift. Everything goes from rich deep colors, to a sort of greyed-out color pallet, then it adjusts and changes back to the rich colors.

I don't notice it when I fly early in morning before the sun is too high, or on overcasts days it is fine. But now that I have seen it on sunny mornings, its one of those things you can't "un-see". And now I notice it going in and out of shadow.

If they fix that on future versions then the Polar would get a thumbs up from me for a 60fps cam, but I am still waiting on a 120fps low latency camera.

oh that sounds pretty terrible actually lol. I'm still here just waiting. I'm hoping we get something nice here soon to use. I'm seeing the Caddx micro air units, but I'm hoping to see some caddx micro vistas or nebula pro vistas here soon!

For me the biggest issue with the polar is the shifting white balance. What a stupid design letting the white balance float like that.
