Where to buy? What date does sales begin?
Hawkeye promised to release it on March. Preliminary price – $59
I hope they make a split/turtle/mix version. This could be the smallest 1080p 60fps fpv camera available. Or we just decase the unit, dump the battery. And run it off 5v from a regulator.
I highly doubt about split version. But we can remove the battery for weight savings as it will have 5V power input.
Will this need a fpv receiver to be able to use the smart phone for the fpv view? Will it automatically connect from the device to my phone?
Actually I don’t know. Most likely it will not work the way as you ask. This product has been discontinued, and I don’t recommend buying it. Better look for RunCam or Foxeer action cameras.
