Très bonne petite caméra aucune latence, seul petit bémol chauffe vite donc ne pas utiliser en espace clos comme dans un cockpit d'avion (chauffe aux point ou il devient impossible de toucher certains composants avec les mains ).

Camara con Tx

Aug 21, 2018

La camara llego en su caja generica, mas un cable, con la antena soldada.
La conecte a 5V y funciono de inmediato (plug and play).
la calidad es decente, se ven algunos detalles bastante bien y los colores.
Ahora debo revisar como funciona montada arriba del avion.
tambien debo hacer la prueba de distancia en tierra.
---
lo malo:
Viene sin instrucciones !!!
no se sabe como configurar la camara! :O
saludos.

These all-in-one units don't come with a manual, just the unit, lens cap, and a cable.
There is a RED LED display to show the band/channel selected, and 1 push button which sticks out the back further than anything else, so make sure it doesn't get hit unexpectedly.
There are 2 DIP switches in the center of the back covered with tape. By default with both DIPS set to ON (sliders up) the unit is set for PAL video at 200 mW (as far as we can determine).
Change DIP-1 to OFF for NTSC
Change DIP-2 to OFF for 25 mW
The listing claims "contrast: adjustable". If anyone figures this out let us know.
I don't believe this camera allows you to invert/flip the image, so it may need to be mounted upright in all cases, unless your goggles can also reverse an unside down image.
Quick presses on the button change the channel, a longer press lets you change the band, an even longer press displays ... "n" or "u" I think, but I have not figured out what this does yet.
FatShark goggles (possibly others as well) auto-select PAL vs. NTSC when the goggles are powered on after the video tx, so the PAL/vs. NTSC setting may not necessarily matter.
You can plug this into your video Rx. for power, it runs on 3.3 - 5.5 volts.
It's odd that there is no manufacturer name or model name/number on Hobby King's website for this, only the SKU 9919000001-0. I expect this is a Hobby King product directly, vs. something they resell.
The unit comes in a generic box for a CCD/FPV camera, with pictures of 5-6 different cameras on it, but not this unit! The SKU and basic specs are on stickers added to the box.
This unit is a different size than the popular Eachine TX01/02/03 units, so the 3D printed cases on https://www.thingiverse.com for the Eachines won't work with this unit. I expect in time one will be designed by someone.
How good are these? Enh. The resolution is decent, facing away from the sun the image is good enough, but angling towards the sun makes the ground go very dark. Yes they are worth the low price, but only for the for the right use.
I'd never put these on an expensive quad/plane due to the light issue, but for chap/beater aircraft they are fine. We are using these on some small flying wings we use for competitive/combat flight, where low cost is key as we expect damage.
