FOXEER Falkor FPV Camera 1200TVL 1.8mm 4:3/16:9 PAL/NTSC G-WDR OSD Review (2026)

Image sensor and resolution

The Falkor uses a 1/3 inch CMOS sensor and outputs 1200TVL of horizontal resolution, a step up from many entry-level 600 to 1000TVL analog cameras and enough detail to read small text on an OSD or spot distant gates clearly through analog FPV goggles. Video comes out over a standard CVBS composite connection, and the camera switches between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios as well as PAL and NTSC video standards, so it can match whichever goggles or video transmitter a pilot is already running. Minimum illumination is rated at 0.01 lux, which is respectable for dim conditions like dusk flying or shaded indoor spaces.

Lens and field of view

This Falkor variant uses a fixed 1.8mm lens, one of the widest options Foxeer offers on this camera line, which translates to an extremely broad field of view that helps racing pilots spot gates, gaps, and obstacles well before they arrive at them. The downside of such a wide lens is pronounced fisheye distortion toward the edges of the frame, where straight lines like door frames or gate edges will visibly curve, which some pilots find disorienting until they get used to judging distance through it. Foxeer also sells this same Falkor body with narrower lens options for pilots who want less distortion at the cost of a tighter field of view.

WDR and OSD features

Foxeer built the Falkor with G-WDR, its wide dynamic range processing, which is rated at 100db and helps the camera hold detail in both bright sky and shaded terrain within the same shot rather than blowing out highlights or crushing shadows. An on-screen display lets pilots adjust camera settings like brightness, sharpness, and WDR strength directly through the goggles using the camera's control cable, without needing to unmount the camera to access physical buttons. Shutter speed is automatic, rated from roughly 1/25 to 1/10000 of a second on PAL or 1/30 to 1/10000 on NTSC, adjusting itself to lighting conditions in real time.

Size, weight and power

Foxeer lists the Falkor's dimensions at approximately 18.7 by 19mm without its mounting bracket, and weight at 5.5 grams, small and light enough to fit comfortably into most 3 inch through 5 inch freestyle and race frames without adding meaningful weight to the build. The camera accepts a wide 5 to 40 volt input range, so it can be powered directly from most flight controller video or main battery pads without a separate voltage regulator, simplifying the wiring in a typical build. That wide voltage tolerance also makes it compatible with a broad range of battery cell counts from 2S through 6S setups.

Who should buy this camera today

The Falkor remains a capable analog camera for racing and freestyle pilots who specifically want a very wide 1.8mm view and strong WDR performance at a moderate price point. Since this listing, Foxeer has released newer Falkor cameras with updated sensors and processing, so buyers should compare current pricing and specs against the newer models before committing to this older version, particularly if fisheye distortion at this wide a field of view is a concern. Pilots who prefer a more natural, less distorted image should look at a Falkor variant with a longer focal length lens instead of this 1.8mm option.
