DRONE RACING INTERNATIONAL FPV – FPV Racing Camera Opinions

A top level pilot gave me what he races with and I must say I love it and switched all my kwads over. It’s the swift 3 with a 2.1. The pilot was the multigp champ himself 😎😎😎😎  Jim

80% of them are low latency to where we wouldn’t notice it anyways. I you want a good tried and tested cam that won’t let you down. The micro eagle by runcam 😉 or you could go for that ccd yummy new ethic cam. My next one most deff  Jason

I run nothing but RunCam swift (nano and full) and the video is fantastic  Nik

Runcam racer Nano 2 is awesome!  Vincent

I don’t fly freestyle but the Runcam Racer 2 / 3 is very popular even for freestyle here in Germany  Daniel

DRONE RACING INTERNATIONAL FPV – Flight Controller Opinions

Using the Hobbywing g2 and Aikon f4 30×30. Neither on the list but both solid fcs  Sean

Foxeer F722 by a long shot. Never burned one and it’s super easy to tune  Rui

RevoltOSD IMO is the best FC you can get for quads  Silas

 

OFFICIAL DJI DIGITAL FPV OWNERS GROUP – Flight Controller for DJI Air Unit Opinions

So, Ive decided for all of my quads with the DJI system to run off a separate BEC (BEC = battery elimination circuit or voltage regulator). Reason being, I suck at this. Bad. I crash a lot and go for cool cinematic shots when sometimes I should hold back. One of the things I’ve noticed during my numerous crashes is that the BEC on the FC seems to be a weak point in a crash. Crashes that the DJI air unit would have otherwise survived. I’ve had 3 different FC BECs go bad during a crash from 3 different manufacturers that have smoked an air unit. I have yet to have an external BEC go bad on me. Plus, I don’t have to worry about looking up if the FC can supply power to the air unit or not  Nick

Bad experience with Mamba f405 9v going bad on multiple boards. Also it skips out badly if you crash ever  JT

Build lists sourced from pilot Youtube videos and Instagram posts.

Here are builds from four of the worlds best FPV racers; Minchan Kim from South Korea, Thomas Bitmatta from Australia, Alex Vanover and Silas Aaron (both from the USA). Components common to the majority of top flight FPV racing drone builds include the Lumenier AXII 2 Antenna, TBS Unify Pro32 Nano Video Transmitter, and Hobbywing Xrotor 40A 20×20 Electronic Speed Controller. 

Although great components are important for top-flight FPV drone racing, ‘Racer X‘ comments that ‘the most important thing is the flying ‘feel’ and the balance between durability versus lightness, and this only comes from real-life testing. This feel is something very personal with some pilots loving very light frames and others prefering a medium weight‘.
