Caddx Nebula digital FPV camera
Caddx has announced new Nebula Nano digital FPV camera. It is nano sized 14x14mm camera with the weight of only 3.9 4.5 grams (for reference DJI Air camera weights 8.2 grams). Nebula has 1/3” size CMOS sensor, which is slightly bigger than 1/3.2” CMOS It has full aluminum housing and comes in two colors – silver and black. Nebula works with both Caddx Vista and DJI Air digital FPV systems.
Caddx Nebula Nano camera will have only one quality setting 720p/60fps. No “Low latency” or “High Quality” modes. At this mode Caddx Nebula is expected to have about 38ms 32ms latency, which is more than DJI Low Latency Mode (720p/120fps): <28 ms, but slightly less than DJI High-Quality Mode (720p/60fps): <40 ms. Camera sensor native 16:9 aspect ratio and you will not be able to switch it to 4:3 mode. Caddx Nebula camera field of view is 150° (most probably in diagonal) in comparison with the DJI FOV: 150°(D); 122°(H); 93°(V).
Release date: unknown.

Ugh, that’s a real bummer about increased latency with decreased fps and no 4:3. Wonder how vertical FOV will compare to DJI camera.
The latency should be about the same as in DJI Air unit in “high quality” mode. But probably small size and price comes at the cost of the quality. These are only the rumors still at the moment.
It’s now available for preorder and they added some specs, claiming 32ms latency. Don’t see any mention of 16:9 vs 4:3, but interestingly it has a slightly larger sensor than DJI camera 😍
FOV is also 150° as in DJI camera. Latency decreased to 32ms. Weight went up to 4.5g.
Albert Kim released a review, it’s definitely a 4:3 sensor but with some pretty underwhelming footage 🙁 Latency seems to be mostly in the 38-40ms range just like with HQ mode on DJI camera.
Does anyone know what the FOV would be to simulate it in Liftoff? 122? Thanks. Mine’s arriving tomorrow… 🙂
