RunCam Racer 5, Foxeer Falkor 3 and Caddx Ratel 2

All three major FPV camera manufacturers have released the newest versions of their top end cameras RunCam Racer 5, Foxeer Falkor 3 and Caddx Ratel 2.

RunCam Racer 5

The newest Racer 5 is fully analog FPV camera as opposite to the Racer 4 that was digital/analog and made a stir in the community as Caddx accused in the copying their digital FPV camera technology. 

RunCam Racer 5 has the 1000TVL CMOS sensor and is available in two lens options:  1.8mm lens with 160° FOV or 2.1mm with 145° FOV. 

RunCam Racer 5 is the first camera that has gyro built in. FPV pilots now can easily set the camera angle by looking at the angle value in the OSD.
