Purchased this because PZ4020 chipset is not compatible with the FY-AP 41 lite OSD/Autopilot installed in a X-5 Skywalker wing.
Camera is awesome once you get the settings correct. There are several different youtube videos showing different setups or just play with it to find your own. Aluminum case is very sturdy and protects very well. Happy with the purchase!

I have also older model RunCam 600TVL.
This one (650) has sharper image, but the 600 has better colors (maybe because I ordered 600 with IR blocked).
It is bad that 650 is not compatible with OSD. In goggles I can see OSD (but flickering) but in goggles DVR the OSD is not recorded in picture.
So my questions are:
- is there any option to install IR filter inside camera?
- is there any upgrade to make OSD compatible?

nice and small package but the wdr hardly makes a difference . if you fly high its great but if you like flying low once you head toward the sun the ground turns black even with wdr turned on and all the way up

One of the best FPV cam for 250-sized racing quad. Very good clarity for picture quality. Most importantly, this camera does not having any lag, which is very important for FPV racing. Another advantage is it's ability on IR mode, which make it's possible to do night flying!

I bought one of these cams, initially for use of an FPV quad, but events changed and it was no longer needed for that :-(
So I decided to try it as one of my cctv cams round my house. WOW!!! I replaced a larger zoom lens cam with this one, and the reduction in size alone made it worth it. That coupled with the fact that it has so many features that are changeable to suit your needs, such as AGC, day/night functionality, mirror, even parking lines if used as a reversing cam! The list goes on, and on. Needless to say, I'm getting another one when they come back into stock. (I would have put a video online, but just seeing my drive is not the most exciting thing in the world!!) Get one, you won't regret it!
