I actually love the original one because it’s lighter and image looks practically the same. But that’s for my applications, I can see having an internal battery makes it more useful for majority of use cases. Shame it’s not true 4k sensor, but I think the image is satisfactory and I enjoy the ability to lock white balance and exposure when u hit record
I like the way you do all these camera Shots / footage across the board, no matter what camera you are reviewing. 👍
Thanks, with cameras like this there are lots of ways that pilots/owners may want to use them so I try and cover all the normal bases... Happy flying!
FINALLY, a mini action camera you don't have to worry about just giving it 5volts. The onboard battery is a nice touch, but the ability to wire it directly to balance lead is what I've been waiting for. No more putting a voltage step down. I have the caddx peanut, it's great for about 10 mins worth of recording on battery then it seems like if I want to use it on anything else, I'm have to figure out to wire it in .
I'm giving 5v to my runcam thumb pro w for ages already, what are you talking about?
I think @BryonGaskin means that you DON'T have to use 5v for it being the liberating factor. I had to read it twice before I got it too... Happy flying!
@@Painless360 ah, OK, still I don't see a problem providing 5v to the camera. I wired it once and forget. I need to wire the cam anyway as I connect it to the FC to start recording automatically when I arm and stop as I disarm
@@schwarzflieger I have 1st version Runcam thumb and the Caddx Peanut. Wiring to 5V is not a problem if you have a FC. As soon as you need to move it to a different build, you have to worry about rewiring 5vs again. Having the ability to just create a plug for a connector gives you a lot of options for quick transfer. Additionally, if you're getting 5v from your FC, the FC is usually buried in the middle of the build, Your battery balance lead is typically much more accessible.
"what I've been waiting for. " hawkeye thumb 4k is at least 1 years old and support 2S-6S power directly
Is there any way of taking it apart and rotating the camera module so it can work in the upright position?
What's the range of the wifi to activate remote recording? I want to be able to fly out a few hundred meters before starting the recording
Fantastic review, Lee! Thanks!!! 😃
But yeah, they do make better cameras! I have 2 of their Firefly (8SE I believe). I hope they make a version 3!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Is it only that really prefers the camera NOT to have a battery inside so we can save some weight? I got a runcam thumb V1 and bought a bag full of those little connectors to use in different quads/wings. Is not that much of a addup to the build process...
Too bad the video quality is essentially 1080p like the Thumb. I'm hoping for a Peanut 2.
its just a normal hawkeye thumb pro with a battery on it. unfortunately the video and image still struggle with highlights like clouds. but then you cant beat with its price.
what is "hawkeye thumb pro"?
@@relaxvideo3d its the cheaper version without the battery. mostly use for fpv drone.
@@grabejud no, thats name is "Hawkeye Thumb 4k" - i have 2 form it..
I was looking into it last week and seen your support im thingiverse but no review, glad to see the review now.
With the walksnail avatar pro kit or even moonlight, do this camera makes sense?
Not really for the hobby. It is interesting for the promotional stuff thye how it on things like dog collars, maybe it's just designed around the modern hobby enough to be a fab camera for us... Happy flying
I agree not being able to be used standing up right is a big no use for me. I only fly airplanes.
great review...
Good review
Could you post a link to the app?

supported by betaflight sounds like a "not supported by inav"
A bit disappointing which will stop me from buying for the missing upright recording function which is a shame.
I dont buy any products that have not delivered and the risk to wait for a firmware update is too high.
Dji is the only one delivering in this point of fixing, all others simply ignore us (except maybe speedybee) .
Question is - is it better than Insta360 Go 3?
Not even in the same ball park... Happy flying
Agreed, but what about the RunCam Thumb pro?
@@PepeKaballa80 the runcam thumb 4k is MILES ahead but very fragile
you correct fish eye in gyroflow why don't you?
You can, but you deform the pixels to fix the image so too much distortion in camera isn't good.
@@Painless360 ah, you mean that. That's for sure to expect from a 170 degree camera
My Thumb 2 arrived several days ago, came with ND16 filter. Used mount that cam with it, a little awkward to get to memory card as it must be remove from mount. Camera active during mission profile with me as POI. Gyroflow program worked well, still learning all the camera adjustments. Well worth $93 US. Thanks for the review.
Very disappointing product
Or ?
Fake 4k, all ads show upright ?
Agreed. I really wanted a camera I could sink into the top of one of my 'chase' planes for another angle without tons of drag from the thing. This is light years ahead of the previous camera from them so many of these cheaper cameras have very poor '4k' footage when tested. I hope their next one will be what we wanted all along - something that can give the RunCam Thumb Pro a run for its money!
@@Painless360
And how does it do against the Insta Go or how the little white thing is called ?
Insta360 Go is miles better. One of my favourites in the guise of the Caddx Peanut... See my video on it.. Happy flying
@@jas-FPV Price sometimes tell you everything, even do the insta360 go2 I have is excellent but did have some issues, but overall is the best camera of them all. The Insta360 are more professional camera so you do want to crash a insta360, plus you can take it for vacation and have a beautiful photos and videos. This cameras are disposable garbage that eventually will end up in a box. Waste of money.
@@Painless360 Please keep in mind that the Runcam Thumb pro also is not true 4k
You may know this already, Gyroflow can rotate the video, so you could mount it vertically and "fix it in the post"! Good job as usual 🙂
I do but imagine how much resolution and detail you lose... Happy flying
Lee I saw an "image rotation" setting - that doesn't allow vertical mounting?
And - I can't believe how many of these cameras are "fisheye" - am I missing something? Does anyone actually prefer that look vs a normal rectilinear image? Of course it's correct able in post, but still...
No, only normal and flipped 180... Happy flying
I always feel this way about rectilinear imagery! I found it’s much harder to make a lens that’s got distortion correction and the good ones I’ve found are much heavier so they seem to just use the simple fisheye lenses. But i think someone could make a good rectilinear lens so there’s no image stretching and we get the full image resolution at the edges
