FPV Cameras

But its 2026, why analogue video?

4ms Low Latency - if you are flying at high speed (e.g. 100km/h) a delay of 100ms (0.1s) means your drone will travel 2.78m before you can react i.e. your drone would have already crashed before you can react

Simplicity/Reliability - Analog systems use straightforward hardware: A basic CMOS sensor outputs a raw NTSC/PAL signal - It transmits uncompressed video signals directly via radio waves (e.g., 5.8GHz band)

Small size, low weight - especially important for smaller drones!

Cost-effective - much cheaper to replace since you will be crashing in racing!

Low power consumption - uses much less energy

However - It's easy to get static interference!

Camera Angle

Increasing camera angle - will help you fly faster, but it also means its more difficult to slow down!

General Flying - 20 degrees

Racing at high speed - 45 degrees

Determine the way you want to fly and adjust camera angle accordingly!

It will also change the way the drone feels
