In this latest installment from RCModelReviews, we delve into the world of cutting-edge technology with the new Wi-Fi link from Runcam, a crucial component of the open IPC digital fpv project. Addressing the age-old issue of hardware availability for open-source systems, this setup is a tantalizing glimpse into the future of FPV flying. While still in its infancy, this system offers a promising platform for tinkering and experimentation, albeit with some limitations like latency that may hinder high-speed freestyle antics. However, for those seeking a more sedate experience, particularly with fixed-wing aircraft, this could be the perfect companion for a leisurely flight.
On the camera front, Runcam introduces the Thumb 2, a sleek and lightweight 4K marvel that promises to revolutionize onboard recording. Boasting an impressive 60 frames per second capability, this camera sets itself apart from the competition, especially with the inclusion of ND filters for that silky smooth footage every FPV enthusiast craves. As the spring season approaches, we eagerly anticipate putting this new gadget through its paces, capturing thrilling moments of flight amidst blooming trees and azure skies. Runcam's commitment to delivering quality at an affordable price shines through once again, making it a top choice for value-conscious hobbyists.
But that's not all, folks! The channel teases the arrival of the Jumper T15 radio, a sleek and sophisticated piece of kit that promises to elevate your flying experience to new heights. While radios may seem like a dime a dozen these days, the T15 aims to stand out from the crowd with its cutting-edge features and impeccable build quality. In a forthcoming review, RCModelReviews will take a trip down memory lane, comparing this modern marvel to the radio systems of yesteryear, showcasing the remarkable evolution of technology in the hobby. As the weather warms up, stay tuned for more thrilling content from the channel, promising exciting adventures and insightful reviews that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
