New FPV Digital Camera - Runcam WASP 120 FPS - Review

[@RunCamFPV]

Many thanks for your review Steve! 👏Nice video🥰

[@CDRaff]

0:33 I would imagine a large part of why this camera exists is to replace the Vista since Caddx and DJI are no longer working together.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

In many ways, you are correct

[@julianmclean3869]

Well well Captain ! what can I say !; I thought I had the wrong Video up with the opening Graphic!!! (X Files !!!) ; very cool BTW; and love the "unboxing" voice over !!!; sweet and versatile Camera !

[@vceenomaine2562]

Great review, thank you Cap...!

[@jc.cantrell]

Great video -- I loved the short section on how to configure, solder, and install the camera.

[@sheiladavis2304]

Another great video Steve. I'm in the hospital again hopefully not for months this time. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your video's and how they kept me sane the last time. I really enjoyed the last scooter video too and wish I was out on one right now.lol

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Here’s hoping your stay at the hospital Hilton is a short one

[@LuFpv]

ottimo video come sempre, sei il numero uno

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good evening captain really cool video nice review

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you

[@dronepilot260rc]

Nice! I may look into this for some late night flights 🎉

[@lynsmith1096]

Nice 1 Steve.

[@lambo_drives]

Perfect. Seen these popping up in the Al-Gore-Rhythm this is EXACTLY what i'm looking for to resurrect the JRx2 into an FPV runner, thanks Capt'n D

[@leffler2]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video. Interesting. Thank You.

[@allyoucando8486]

Will be interesting to use in crawler fvp

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have a friend who did exactly that

[@EduardoAranda]

Hi Captain! Greetings from México, would be cool if you can show us how to build and setup a FPV wing like the Zohd !!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is very easy to setup. Everything connects together out of the box, and then you just add your own 4 channel receiver.

[@SkeezyFPV]

I think I need one of these wings!

[@eltont862]

This looks great, but what is the flight range for the ZOHD ZHD10042? It doesn't say on the Great Hobbies website.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Flight Range??? This is an RC plane which means you decide on the flight range based on the receiver you place in it and the radio you use.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Really nice set up

[@joeys5429]

Great used to launch this way to all ya need is 75 % or more power

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Enjoy the week

[@rickhunter1984]

The video after tossing is clean edge to edge.

[@henrytaaffe7058]

awsome review sir

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Woow, cool 😎

[@nicopasquantonio5190]

Which FPV drone to you recommend for nature cinematic?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It would have to be very quiet so your options are a camera drone under 250 grams.

[@juki6377]

i thought there was a new zohd :/ i wonder if you still fly your vertical wing/drone thingo

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

A vertical wing (VTOL) review is coming up in the future.

[@GreenGabanX1]

2nd here. Love it 😍😍😍

[@TechnicallyTom]

The original camera has a chip that allows adjusting more settings. It will work in low latency mode or high quality mode as well as 4:3 and 16:9. Some of the Caddx Vista cameras can also do this but the ones that do not only do 16:9 and high quality mode. I still think the original and Caddx Nebula Pro cameras are the best quality.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I think RunCam is going for the micro physical size & cost.

[@sidbox]

do i have to connect it to a drone flight controller? how do i connect it to my planes reciever or do i even have to?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is entirely up to you. In my example of placing it in an RC Plane, it is not connected to anything in the plane other than a 2S Lipo battery for power.

[@BlackOmegaVirus]

I like the WASP ❤ thx! 5,8 GHz ❤

[@7MPhonemicEnglish]

Confusing. After going to the Runcam website, it appears that they call the camera itself 'wasp' and the VTX 'link'. It's a Camera + VTX combo if you buy both.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Correct. The camera has the image sensor and much of the specs. It can be connected to many different main bodies. The main body that can be included as a pair, sends out the video signal and also acts as a receiver to connect to a flight controller.

[@ilovedeertoes]

i need to get a cheap drone that has a really good camera any ideas?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Only one that meets that criteria is the DJI mini SE, or get yourself a used DJI MAVIC pro from 2016 (many are for sale used).

[@ilovedeertoes]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you so much for the recommendation it helped a lot!!!

[@AnimeW69]

Keep it up.

[@atillamaster09]

That’s what she said

[@jimanderson4865]

Hey Steve...Nice F roll camera....hahahaha

[@sirhilsam]

...and there I thought I was the only person to refer to people on my flying field as 'humanoids'...yay I'm 100% normal.

[@superchefnadim]

Hi Steve, there might be a chance to meet with you, I might come to Canada for 10/15 days…..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Many have come to Canada hoping to see me but then realize how large everything is here, distance wise. If you get near my location (east of Ottawa) let me know.

[@SkeezyFPV]

I live right on the US border near Niagara Falls and Captain Drone is not exaggerating. Make sure you go to the ballet while in Canada! (😂 Captain Drone will get this)

[@Wes61]

Do I have to use a DJI brand screen or goggles with this camera?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, if you get the DJI WASP version

[@Wes61]

​@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks I almost bought it. I was looking for something compatible with any 5.8ghz goggles If possible. I Have a wolfwhoop cam it has very bad signal passed 70ft.

[@gleeloyd]

Hello, thanks for the video. I'm just getting interested in FPV for fixed wing and haven't bought anything yet. Here's my question: When looking at FPV Camera specs, how do I know if I'm looking at an HD camera or not? Is the equipment you're using in the video HD?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

So for HD, which is also called DIGITAL, the market is filled with different competition, and for each video transmitter, the pilot needs the compatible Goggles. As an EXAMPLE: -DJI 01, 02 Air Units, as well as CADDX VISTA and RUNCAM Vista, use the DJI FPV Goggles VERSION 2. -DJI 03 Air Units use the DJI FPV Goggles VERSION 2 and DJI Goggles 2 (there is a difference between the two). -Walksnail Avatar requires that you use the AVATAR FPV Goggles -HD ZERO requires that you use the HD ZERO FPV Goggles

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

I like it

[@astroshooter1960]

nice camera.... I'm not much into fpv and the goggles stuff. I have um... I think I'm just too scared to use um....? 😆

[@Jimmykid3]

You get a full screen on what? Nothing is 4:3 anymore, im new to fpv trying to get into the hobby and watching a bunch of videos are the goggles display in 4:3?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

4:3 was the standard aspect ratio for FPV because in BOX GOGGLES it looks the best. Most camera sensors in phones, action cameras on the market today are 4:3 and you switch to 16x8. Also in advanced goggles, like FATSHARK, with two eye pieces, 4:3 seems to give a more immersive view. On good quality goggles you can switch to 16x9 if desired.

[@Jimmykid3]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 interesting!!!! I learned something new ty. Im looking at getting a cinewhoop of some sort, would you recommend going with the dji o3 air unit?

[@scaffman6681]

Why can’t you just say the price in ur video instead of trying to get me to click a link 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I avoid saying the price for the simple reason it is only valid the day I say it. I used to say the price 6 years ago in videos and guess what…. Now I receive comments on videos from people watching the video six years later and telling me I don’t know what I’m talking about because the product is now way more expensive then I posted in my video.

[@scaffman6681]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 ahhh that makes sense thanks very much for quick reply

[@peek2much3]

Why is everyone so excited about this camera when RC also has the Falcon which has wayyy higher resolution (1080p)? This goes only up to 720 at the same frame rate. Even the sensor is slightly larger in the falcon. Go for the falcon and don’t bother with this one people.

[@LoomyFPV]

One probably has way less latency

[@peek2much3]

@@LoomyFPV I only speak when I have a way to back up my claims. In this case, I own both and my tests show the falcon to be a much more responsive and overall better value of the two. I honestly do not see a reason to go with this when for just $15 you can do better.

[@Benguinthe111]

the image quality is dreadfully awful

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

When the image is in front of your eyes it is amazingly perfect for your brain… welcome to the world of FPV.
