Although the two digital FPV systems from DJI and Fatshark already offer a high-resolution alternative to classic FPV setups, RunCam has nevertheless decided to add another model to its FPV camera portfolio with the Phoenix 2. The affordable freestyle FPV camera is the successor to the popular RunCam Phoenix.
The Phoenix 2 offers a number of improvements over its predecessor. The resolution of the camera is a pleasant 1000 TVL. Thanks to the 1/2" image sensor, the RunCam Phoenix 2 has a significantly higher light sensitivity compared to the RunCam Phoenix. To further improve the FPV experience, RunCam has given the Phoenix 2 a new CPU (Central Processing Unit) and at the same time improved the lens architecture. The Phoenix 2 uses a 2.1 mm lens, while the lens of RunCam's new FPV camera now consists of six glass lenses and offers an aperture of f/2.0 and a FOV (Field of View) of 155°.thanks to the new sensor, the RunCam Phoenix 2 is even more sensitive to light than the well-known RunCam Eagle low-light camera and can therefore also be used at dusk or in the dark without any problems.
All these innovations ensure a significant reduction in lens flares (sun stars) and less digital shimmer (artefact formation at edges during image movements). The dimensions of 19 x 19 mm with a depth of 20 mm are standard micro format. The image can of course be switched between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for different FPV goggles. In addition, the new sensor supports Global WDR, allowing the drone to be maneuvered safely even in unfavorable lighting conditions.
RunCam has already set the bar high with their Eagle, but with the Phoenix 2 they have managed to surpass themselves and at the same time lower the costs for the customer!
