I am a pro builder/researcher, build all types of drones full time, and have been using Runcam cameras in my racer builds for some time now with excellent results. Watch Joshua Bardwells video online of his review, since He endorses this model, and He shows his personal settings as well as how to set up the UART so you can change camera settings with your transmitter in the field. This is the successor to the popular Runcam Eagle which has been discontinued, and was one of the best. This is even better with the UARTS and upgraded lens. Unlike the cc feature on many flight controllers, this one always works.

One of the most advertised features of this camera is the ability to access the OSD menu via your radio. I was told by Runcam that this camera needs to have a component removed to make this work. I didn't try it because it is so small I was afraid I'd damage something else in the process. The settings on the cam are pretty good as it comes so I'm not worrying about using this feature but it is one of the reasons I purchased this camera. I'm a little disappointed.

Though I didn't get to use it much since it was for someone else's build, the time that I did have with it was instantly better than my personal build and I'll be switching to the JB edition for sure. The large font was a little weird for me but I'm sure it can be changed in the very handy uart control

Great picture, quick to adjust to light changes. My only complaint is that I've yet been able to enter the camera settings. Easily able to enter osd settings via stick controls, but no camera settings to be had...
