RunCam Phoenix 2 FPV Camera

The RunCam Phoenix 2 is a micro-sized analogue FPV camera for freestyle and racing quads, built around a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor with 1000TVL resolution and global WDR for handling stark light-to-shadow transitions.

Key features

• 1/2-inch CMOS sensor delivers 1000TVL resolution with accurate colour reproduction in daylight and low light.
• 160° diagonal field of view at f/2.4 keeps the frame wide without excessive distortion.
• Global WDR prevents washout and blackout during rapid light transitions and high-contrast manoeuvres.
• Switchable between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, and PAL/NTSC signal formats, with mirror/flip control.
• Wide 5-36V DC input runs directly from a 2S-8S LiPo or a flight controller BEC without a separate regulator.
• Fully enclosed ABS housing resists dust ingress and short circuits from stray solder or debris.

Specifications

• Image sensor: 1/2" CMOS
• Horizontal resolution: 1000TVL
• Lens: 160° diagonal FOV at f/2.4
• Aspect ratio: 4:3 / 16:9 (switchable)
• Signal system: PAL / NTSC (switchable)
• Input voltage: DC 5-36V
• Current draw: 200 mA at 5 V, 80 mA at 12 V
• Menu control: cable-controlled OSD
• Dimensions: 19 x 19 x 22 mm
• Weight: 8.6 g
• In the box (Special Edition V2): camera, 6-pin FPV silicone cable, screw set

At 19x19mm the Phoenix 2 fits standard micro camera mounts on 3-inch to 7-inch frames, and its wide voltage tolerance suits builds without a dedicated clean camera BEC.
