IR Blocked FPV Camera Review Security Camera 2000

by StoneBlueAirlines | February 2, 2013 | (14) Posted in Reviews

 

This is my review of a brand new FPV Camera I picked up from Security Camera 2000
It is the CMQ1993X. This is a Sony 600TVL FPV board camera with Nextchip 2040 DSP, Samsung and Panasonic resistance components and Tantalum capacitor. It is installed with dual 850nm IR filter which blocks the IR light and makes the image colors more true to life. This camera is very suitable for FPV flying in the day. For night flying this would not be your best option. In this full test on the camera, you will learn all there is to know about going through the menu and what the different lenses look like when flying. If your in need of a new fpv camera this is one to check out.

Most of my test flights were done late in the day heading towards sunset. I was impressed with the over all color and detail on this camera. You will see more flights coming from this camera soon.

I got these items from http://www.securitycamera2000.com
Quick delivery and all items boxed well. Links below to check out each item I was using in this review. If you decide to pick one up let me know and don't forget to tell Security Camera 2000 who sent you there way. Thanks guys here is more info on this camera.

Nice job switching the lenses, interesting to see the differences. Also liked your editing. Using the kids voices from the ground was a good touch to mix with the fpv footage.

Excellent review. I purchased this same camera about a month ago and I'm very pleased with the results. It's just as good, if not better, than a camera I paid almost 3x as much for. A great camera for the price.
