Caddx Farsight 8X ZOOM Analog FPV Camera

Caddx Farsight 8X Camera – Analog FPV Zoom System

The Caddx Farsight 8X Camera is designed for FPV pilots who require adjustable magnification without switching to digital transmission. This analog FPV module combines an 8× smart zoom engine with a high-sensitivity image sensor, delivering detailed visuals for long-range and dynamic flight missions.

Unlike fixed-lens FPV cameras, this system allows real-time zoom adjustment through PWM control from the flight controller. Pilots can instantly switch between wide-angle awareness and focused detail capture while maintaining low-latency analog transmission.

Caddx Farsight 8X Camera Zoom Performance

The integrated 1–8× magnification system enables smooth zoom transitions without visible image distortion. This functionality is especially useful for surveillance-style flying, long-distance exploration, and industrial inspection drones. Reset control allows quick return to 1× magnification using predefined flight controller switches.

For pilots comparing fixed-lens alternatives, the Caddx Ratel 2 FPV Camera offers excellent low-light clarity, while night-focused missions may benefit from the CaddxFPV Infra V2 Night Vision Camera.

Image Sensor & Wide Field Architecture

The camera uses a 1/2-inch image sensor with 1500TVL horizontal resolution. A 122.5° horizontal field of view ensures broad situational awareness at 1× zoom while preserving clarity when magnification increases. The 4:3 aspect ratio provides a natural and distortion-controlled image output suited for analog FPV systems.

Low-light sensitivity rated at 0.01 Lux improves performance during dusk flights or shaded environments.

Analog Compatibility & System Integration

The CVBS analog output ensures compatibility with standard FPV goggles, analog video transmitters, and traditional ground receivers. This makes the Caddx Farsight 8X Camera ideal for pilots who prioritize minimal latency over digital compression.

The compact 19×19×19.5mm camera module connects to a separate AI processing unit (33.5×33.5×12.35mm), allowing flexible mounting inside racing frames, long-range quadcopters, or fixed-wing UAV platforms.

Engineering & Performance Context

Zoom-based FPV systems require stable image processing and signal integrity. According to CaddxFPV Official Documentation, sensor size and PWM-based zoom control significantly influence real-time responsiveness in analog environments.

Technical Specifications

The Caddx Farsight 8X Camera combines smart zoom capability, analog reliability, and compact installation flexibility for pilots seeking adaptive visual control in FPV flight systems.
