Key Applications and Projects

• Tiny Whoop Drones: The mandatory upgrade for 65mm and 75mm brushed or brushless indoor racing drones.

• Micro RC Cars (FPV Rovers): Mounting this to the roof of a 1/24th scale RC crawler to navigate underneath furniture from a driver's seat perspective.

• Foam Board Gliders: Taping this lightweight unit and a small 1S battery to the nose of a cheap foam chuck-glider for instant RC aviation.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution) The Stealth RC Exploration Rover: Don't limit FPV to the skies! Evolve your ground game. Take a cheap, off-the-shelf micro RC car. Desolder the pre-attached wires of this AIO camera and wire it directly into the car's existing 1S (3.7V) LiPo battery circuit using an inline micro-switch. Mount the camera to the hood using a small piece of double-sided foam tape. Because the camera operates safely down to 2.5V, it will happily share power with the car's drive motor. You have just built an immersive, high-speed FPV rover capable of exploring the uncharted territory beneath your sofa!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Q: What exactly is an "AIO" FPV Camera? An All-In-One (AIO) unit integrates the video camera, the 5.8GHz video transmitter (VTX), and the broadcasting antenna onto a single connected circuit board, saving immense amounts of space and weight.

Q: What voltage does this camera require? It operates safely within a voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V DC.

Q: Can I power this directly from a 2S (7.4V) LiPo battery? No! Connecting this to anything higher than 5.5V will instantly destroy the sensitive onboard electronics. If using a 2S or higher battery, you must route power through a 5V Step-Down Voltage Regulator (BEC) first.

Q: Can I power this directly from a 1S (3.7V) LiPo battery? Yes. Because it operates down to 2.5V, you can solder it directly to the same battery pads powering a 1S micro drone.

Q: How do I change the transmission channel? Locate the small white button on the side of the board. A quick, short press of this button will cycle through the 8 channels within your current band.

Q: How do I change the frequency band? Press and hold the same button for approximately 2 to 3 seconds. This will cycle the unit to the next frequency band (e.g., from Band A to Band B).

Q: What is the maximum range of the 25mW transmitter?

While highly dependent on your environment and receiver antennas, a 25mW 5.8GHz signal typically provides a clear video link for 100 to 200 meters in open air, making it perfectly tailored for indoor racing or small backyard flights.

Q: What is the field of view (FOV)? The camera features a 120-degree wide-angle lens, which is excellent for maintaining spatial awareness while maneuvering in tight indoor spaces.

Q: How much does the entire unit weigh? The combined unit, including the camera, VTX, and antenna, weighs only 3.6 grams.

Q: What do the red and black wires do? The Red wire must be connected to your positive (+) power supply, and the Black wire must be connected to your negative (-) Ground. Ensure correct polarity to prevent permanent damage.

Q: Is this compatible with DJI Digital FPV Goggles?

No. This is an analog 5.8GHz transmitter. It is only compatible with analog FPV goggles or analog receiver modules (like FatShark, Skyzone, or standard box goggles).

Q: Why is my video feed displaying rolling static when I increase the drone's throttle?

This is typically caused by electrical noise or voltage sag from the motors feeding back into the camera's power lines. To fix this, solder a tiny capacitor across the power pads, or ensure the camera is drawing power from a clean, filtered 5V pad on your flight controller rather than sharing a noisy motor circuit.

Q: Can I bend or modify the copper tube antenna? You should ensure the copper tube antenna is not bent or damaged. A damaged antenna can significantly reduce your signal range and video quality. Do not mount it directly against carbon fiber.

Q: Does this camera have a microphone for audio?

No, this specific micro AIO unit transmits video only to save weight and complexity.

Q: Can I turn off the image transmission while the drone is powered on? Yes, this model supports an "image turn off" function, which is typically activated via a specific flight controller sequence to prevent the VTX from overheating while idling on the starting grid.

Q: What video format does it broadcast? It broadcasts using the standard PAL analog video format.
