Caddx Farsight 8X Zoom Analog FPV Camera

The Caddx Farsight is an analog FPV camera built for long-range fixed-wing aircraft, inspection multirotors and search-and-rescue platforms that need to identify distant targets in flight. A 1/2-inch CMOS sensor with wide dynamic range and 0.01 lux sensitivity keeps footage clear from bright daylight through to near darkness.

Key features

• 1-8x digital zoom, driven by a PWM signal from the flight controller, brings distant subjects into view without swapping lenses.
• 1500TVL horizontal resolution and a 122.5-degree horizontal field of view balance detail with situational awareness.
• CVBS analog output plugs straight into a standard flight controller OSD or 5.8GHz video transmitter.
• Compact camera head with a separate control box draws under 2W.

Because zoom narrows the field of view sharply at higher settings, it suits a dedicated observation camera rather than primary flight navigation; a pan-tilt or observation bay mount works best.
