The Micro FPV Camera with Audio is an ultra-compact, lightweight analog video camera engineered for micro FPV drones, fixed-wing aircraft, and compact ground rovers. Featuring an integrated microphone and a 1.8mm wide-angle lens with a 170-degree field of view (FOV), it delivers low-latency 600TVL analog video. Its miniature form factor and low 3.7V to 5V DC power requirements make it well-suited for 1S battery-powered micro quads, RC models, and discreet surveillance systems.

Key Features
- Ultra-Wide 170-Degree Field of View: The 1.8mm wide-angle lens delivers an expansive panoramic perspective, minimizing blind spots during fast maneuvers and close-proximity flight.
- Integrated Audio Mic: Captures real-time motor and prop audio feedback, transmitting sound directly to FPV goggles or monitors via compatible video transmitters (VTX).
- Low-Latency Analog Output: Produces zero-frame-delay analog composite video essential for real-time drone racing and tight obstacle navigation.
- Miniature & Lightweight: At only 12.5mm x 12.5mm, it installs easily into tiny whoops, toothpick builds, and space-constrained RC canopies.
- 1S LiPo Direct Power Support: Operates smoothly down to 3.7V DC, allowing direct connection to single-cell LiPo battery setups without external step-up regulators.
Common Applications
- Micro FPV Drones & Tiny Whoops: Compact cockpit camera for 65mm–85mm indoor brushless or brushed quads.
- RC Airplanes & Gliders: Nose- or wing-mounted FPV camera for line-of-sight flying and video downlink.
- RC Cars & Ground Crawlers: Cab-view driver perspective for micro RC rovers and off-road chassis.
- Compact Inspection & Covert Monitoring: Low-voltage video streaming in tight enclosures, robotic arms, and borescope tools.
Usage Tips
- Voltage Rail Precaution: Power the camera with 3.7V to 5V DC only. Never connect it directly to raw 2S, 3S, or 4S LiPo battery lines (7.4V–16.8V), as excessive voltage will permanently destroy the CMOS sensor and microphone circuit. Use a regulated 5V pad from your flight controller or video transmitter.
- Lens Focus Tuning: The threaded 1.8mm M7/M8 lens is focus-adjustable. If the image appears slightly blurry out of the box, gently loosen the knurled locking collar, twist the lens barrel until the image is sharp in your monitor/goggles, and tighten the ring to lock the focus.
- Video Standard Matching: Ensure your FPV goggles or monitor are set to match the camera's video standard (PAL or NTSC) to prevent black-and-white display output or vertical rolling frames.
