Mini/Micro/Nano

A great budget cam, available in pretty much any size you'd want. I run it on all my main 5" quads, and it's been serving me great for over a year

You'll see Foxeer around pretty often, as they have a wide range of cams for different uses. The Toothless 2 is great for both day and night flying alike

Mini/Micro/Nano ?

Mini/Micro/Nano Weight

The Predator series is well-liked among racers for having a consistent image and low latency. That said though, it's still a good cam for non-racers as well

Foxeer T Rex

$44.9

1500 ?

TVL

150° ?

FOV

Mini/Micro ?

Size

10.2/8.6g ?

Mini/Micro Weight

To my knowledge, this cam has the highest resolution that's available on the market for analog... and the price matches that well. However, if you're looking for the best of the best, this might just be it

Runcam Phoenix 2

$29.99

1000 ?

TVL

155° ?

FOV

1/2" ?

Sensor Size

Micro/Nano ?

Size

9/5g ?

Weight

Even though it has a lower resolution than the T Rex, a lot of people like the image of the Phoenix more, especially given the lower price. Even JB has his own version, so it's gotta be at least somewhat good

Caddx Ratel 2

$30.99

1200 ?

TVL

165° ?

FOV

1/1.8" ?

Sensor Size

Micro/Nano ?

Size

5.9/3.0g ?

Micro/Nano Weight

This camera has quite a lot going for it. A durable metal case, the current largest sensor in analog cameras, and a decently low price and weight as well

DJI

Resolution

Frame Rate

155° ?

FOV

Sensor Size

Micro (19mm) ?

A newer option from RunCam is currently the cheapest option that still offers 120Hz video. What you save in budget will lead to slightly worse video quality. But nothing too bad

Caddx Polar

$42.99

720p ?

Resolution

60FPS

162° ?

FOV

1/1.8" ?

Sensor Size

Micro (19mm) ?

Size

The only 720 60fps DJI camera on this list. Those specs aren't great compared to other options. But this cam has one large advantage - giving you good video at night and a pretty large FOV to go with that

Caddx Nebula Pro

$59.99

720p ?

Resolution

120FPS

150° ?

FOV

1/3" ?

Sensor Size

Micro (19mm) ?

The Nebula Pro is considered to be one of the best cams for the DJI system. Even though it only goes up to 720p, the video output is clean and reliable

Caddx Nebula Pro Nano

720p ?

Resolution

120FPS

150° ?

FOV

1/3" ?

Sensor Size

Nano (14mm) ?

Size

3.5g

As it is similar in specs to the larger Nebula Pro, it's still a great camera, ideal for putting into tight builds or for saving even more weight where needed

Goggles

Analog

Eachine EV800D

$119.99

LCD 800x420 ?

Screen

82° ?

FOV

362g

These have been the best cheap goggles for pretty much as long as I have been flying, likely more... Yet they still hold up today, as there's still not much for under $200

Skyzone Cobra X

$249.99

LCD 1280x720 ?

Screen

50° ?

FOV

332g ?

Weight

Supposedly made by Skyzone and Eachine, but I doubt eachine had much to do with it. A great option if you want better reception, space for glasses, and a more modern design. They can also fit a full VRX module if you want to upgrade them in the future

Skyzone 02o

$319.99

OLED 640*400 ?

Screen

29° ?

FOV

210g ?

Weight

Updated from the popular 02C which were great value back then. Now with better OLED displays, better VRX, and they're about the cheapest slimlines worth getting nowadays. The FOV is on the lower side, but that may be beneficial for someone with sight issues

Fatshark Attitude V6

$349.99

LCOS 1280x960 ?

Screen

39° ?

FOV

199g ?

Weight

Fatshark has been making FPV goggles for ages, but has lately fallen out of favor. These goggles still hold their ground though, as they're pretty much the cheapest slimlines that will be able to display digital video somewhat well

Skyzone 04L

$379.99

LCOS 1280x960 ?

Screen

39° ?

FOV

267g ?

Weight

Even if they're cheaper than the full high-end O4X, you don't lose much. LCOS displays are really close to OLED, same receiver, and have the same resolution, but only 30FPS DVR. Similar to the Attitude V6 in terms of Digital upgradeability

Eachine EV300o

$399.00

OLED 1024x768 ?

Screen

38° ?

FOV

262g ?

Weight

Another "shared" venture of eachine and skyzone, these are very similar to the 04L, with an OLED screen with a slightly lower resolution, but better 60FPS DVR

Skyzone 04X

$529.99

OLED 1200x960 ?

Screen

46° ?

FOV

267g ?

Weight

Considered by many to be the best high-end analog goggles out there, they are pretty much the best you can get without going to digital. Better screens, nice DVR, large FOV, and all-round well made goggles

Antennas

MenaceRC Periscope/Raptor

$13.49

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

SMA ?

Connector

14g

Old but good - This antenna is using the classic "pagoda" construction which has proven itself to be pretty cheap and perform well. The Periscope is extra long to get it above your head to get a better signal

Foxeer Lollipop 4 (Plus)

$19.99

2.6dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

u.Fl/MMCX/SMA ?

Connector

2.8-13.9g

Foxeer stuff has been on the market for a while, and now they have refreshed their lineup with the 4th revision. The 4 is a slight improvement, the 4 Plus is using an entirely different construction. They both come in a LOT of variations to fit your needs

TrueRC OCP

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

TrueRC is hands-down the best antenna manufacturer. Most of the following antennas here will be made, or at least designed by them. The OCP is a great budget pick, great for goggles and even quads, but they are a little more fragile

TrueRC Core

$14.99

1.9dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

u.Fl/MMCX/SMA ?

Connector

Varied

Right between the OCP and Singularity in terms of price, these are TrueRC's newest offerings. They hit a great price point while increasing the performance and durability of the OCP. The colors are also a nice addition, as well as the very wide range of connectors

TrueRC Singularity

$19.99

1.9dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

u.Fl/MMCX/SMA ?

Connector

1.03-3.55g

Claimed by TrueRC to be their best antenna, and it certainly lives up to that. Small, light, yet it still performs great. Available with a lot of options to be used anywhere from tinywhoops to large LR rigs

TrueRC Matchstick

$25.99

1.9dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

u.Fl/SMA ?

Connector

6.2-7.8g

At its heart, it is using the Singularity internals, and even the case that comes with the stubby. But then that case is extra hardened and has a thick carbon-reinforced coax wire to make an indestructible antenna

TrueRC D-Pole

$6.99

2.5dB ?

Gain

Linear ?

Polarization

u.Fl/MMCX ?

Connector

n/a

TrueRC's implementation of a small T-style dipole linear antenna not very commonly found for 5.8GHz, it's ideal for ultralight crafts and tinywhoops

TrueRC The Smol

$19.99

1.9dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

u.Fl ?

Connector

0.25g

pushing the limits of FPV technology with this one of a kind. The Smol is the lightest 5.8GHz CP antenna known to mankind" And yeah, that's pretty much it. This antenna is awesome for the lightest setups where you still want a circular-polarized antenna

Lumenier Micro Axii

$19.99

1.9dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

u.Fl/MMCX/SMA ?

Connector

1-5.5g

As said before, these antennas are still designed in collaboration with TrueRC. This makes for great-performing antennas that are a great option if TrueRC is not to your liking

Lumenier Double Axii 2

$29.99

4.7dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

SMA ?

Connector

12g

Double the active elements for much better reception, on an even longer stem makes it a great LR antenna for your goggles. Look-induced comedic effect included (note - does not have a wide base)

Directional

MenaceRC Invader

$11.99

6.5dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

SMA straight ?

Connector

11g

MenaceRC is a relatively small manufacturer, but their antennas are quite good for the price. The invader is a great budget general-purpose directional antenna with a patch-style construction. The beam is pretty wide, for good area coverage

MenaceRC Pico Patch

$14.99

9.4dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

SMA straight ?

Connector

10g

Like the Invader, it's a great budget option, but that's where the similarities end. It's smaller and has a tighter beam width for more range in one direction. I've been running them for the past 2 years without issue

TrueRC x SpeedyPizza Margherita

$14.99

5.5dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

SMA flex ?

Connector

9.8g

Don't let the silly looks fool you, the Margherita is a pretty capable patch antenna! Designed by TrueRC for the SpeedyPizzaDrones race team, it's made to be simple to use with its flexible coax

TrueRC X-Air MK II

$29.99

9.5dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

(RP)SMA 45° ?

Connector

18g

The X-Air antennas are pretty much the best you can get without paying like double this price. It has a great balance between a wide and thin beam, in a small and durable case

Lumenier AXII Patch

$24.99

8.4dB ?

Gain

RHCP/LHCP ?

Polarization

SMA ?

Connector

10g

Designed by TrueRC, the AXII Patch offers an even more compact alternative to the X-Air with a slightly wider beam. It's a great antenna for general use, or if you can't find TrueRC in stock
