How to choose

Pick camera size first, nano or micro, 19x19mm. Then pick low-light performance. Starlight CMOS and 1200TVL help at dusk and night. Check lens size, 1.7mm or 2.1mm, and whether the camera is 4:3 or 16:9 switchable. Thermal cameras are for search and inspection, not for normal FPV flying.
