The FPV Camera with Mic 700TVL is a high-resolution analog flight camera built around a sensitive CCD image sensor. Engineered for FPV racing drones, fixed-wing aircraft, and RC ground vehicles, it combines a 2.8mm wide-angle lens with an onboard audio microphone. The CCD imaging architecture delivers natural color reproduction, low-light sensitivity down to 0.05 Lux, and robust dynamic range handling to prevent sun-glare washouts during flight.

Key Features
- High-Sensitivity CCD Sensor: Offers superior low-light performance (0.05 Lux) and dynamic range compared to standard CMOS sensors, eliminating "jello effect" vibrations and handling transition between bright sky and dark ground smoothly.
- Balanced 2.8mm Field of View: The 2.8mm lens provides a wide, natural field of view without severe fisheye edge distortion, making it easier to judge distances and track obstacles.
- Integrated Audio Microphone: Streams real-time motor, wind, and propeller sound straight to your FPV goggles or ground monitor.
- Highlight Compensation (HLC): Suppresses localized intense glare (such as head-on sunlight or bright artificial lights) to preserve surrounding image detail.
- Compact and Lightweight Form Factor: Fits cleanly into standard FPV camera mounting brackets, micro pan-tilt gimbals, and RC canopies.
Common Applications
- FPV Racing and Freestyle Drones: 5-inch and long-range quads requiring zero-latency analog video and audio feedback.
- RC Airplanes, Gliders, and Wings: Cockpit pilot view with ambient wind and throttle audio monitoring.
- RC Cars, Trucks, and Boats: Low-latency first-person driving systems with wide-angle spatial awareness.
- Remote Robotics and Mobile Surveillance: Inspection rovers, pan-tilt turrets, and wireless field monitoring units.
Usage Tips
- Operating Voltage Requirement: This camera requires a 12V DC (±5%) power supply. Powering from a 5V rail will result in no video, while connecting directly to a 4S/6S LiPo battery (14.8V–25.2V) without a 12V BEC/regulator will permanently damage the internal CCD circuitry.
- Ground Loop and Noise Prevention: Power line ripple from high-power brushless ESCs can introduce horizontal noise lines into CCD video. Power the camera from a filtered 12V BEC or an LC-filter power tap on your flight controller/PDB.
- Display Standard Compatibility: Confirm that your FPV monitor, goggles, or analog capture card are set to PAL mode to avoid vertical screen rolling or loss of colour sync.
