Recorded specification
Every value carries the source it was read from. A property with no recorded source is marked as such rather than presented as a fact. If one of them is wrong, tell us: it is the fastest way it gets fixed.

| Video system decides fit | Analog 5.8 GHz | Oscar Liangchecked 2026-07-27Quote 1, below the table |
| Field of viewDiagonal field of view. Wider is more immersive, not automatically better. | 165 ° | RaceDayQuads product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 2, below the table |
| Glass-to-glass latencyTime from the scene reaching the camera to it reaching your eye. The number racers choose a system on, and the one thing analog still wins. | 8 ms | Walksnail / CaddxFPV product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 3, below the table |
| ResolutionTV lines: how much detail an ANALOG camera resolves. Not comparable with a digital camera's pixel count, which is why digital cameras leave it unset rather than being given a converted figure. | 1200 TVL | Walksnail / CaddxFPV product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 3, below the table |
| Low-light sensitivityThe dimmest light the sensor still produces a usable picture in. Lower sees more. | 0.0001 lux | Walksnail / CaddxFPV product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 3, below the table |
| Sensor sizeSensor format as the vendor quotes it. Bigger gathers more light, at more weight. | 1/1.8″ in | Walksnail / CaddxFPV product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 3, below the table |
| Aspect ratioThe shape of the picture, which has to match what the goggles show: a 4:3 image on a 16:9 screen arrives stretched or letterboxed, and nothing else on the box mentions it. | 4:3 / 16:9 switchable | RaceDayQuads product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 2, below the table |
| WeightBuild-critical rather than compat-critical: needed to answer registration and class questions. | 5.9 g | Walksnail / CaddxFPV product specificationschecked 2026-07-27Quote 3, below the table |
