The Foxeer Cat 3 series is optimized for poor lighting conditions. It is claimed that 0.00001Lux has minimal lighting. Starlight FPV cameras are perfect for park flying. While the Cat 3 Micro measures 19 x 19 mm and weighs 10.7 g, the Cat Mini is 22 x 22 mm and weighs 12.2 g. Both cameras have the same Sony 1/3 “CMOS image sensor with a resolution of 1200 TVL.
The camera settings can be changed remotely via the supplied OSD keyboard as well as via Foxeer flight controls. The integrated OSD provides information such as system voltage, aircraft name and elapsed time.
Thanks to the large input voltage, it can be operated with 2 to 5s LIPO batteries.
