Foxeer Monster V2 1200TVL 1/3 CMOS 16:9
If you only flew with the HS1177 FPV Camera's you got to try the Monster V2.
The video quality is amazing and the WDR feature works incredibly good.
The sun isn't blinding any more and the dark areas are visible and it's a lot easier to fly in dense forests and in the shadows.
The transition between bright environment and dark are also very quick, the camera adjust almost instantly.
​
Beside the upgrade in image resolution and quality the new alloy case is awesome,
and the side screws thread wouldn't wear out like it does on plastic cases.

Only when powered to a regulated power source like a 12V BEC, you should connect the VSEN to the VCC + on your PDB
​
The adjustment time between dark and lighter scenery is amazing compared to the HS1177

SUMMARY
​
I had the Runcam Eagle 16:9 for a while, and the limited Vertical FOV was an issue for me, in the Monster V2 I almost didn't noticed it was a problem the FOV is much bigger.
​
For 38.99 it's a great high resolution camera, with awesome and quick ability to adjust to different light scenarios, I would highly recommend to give it a try.
​
The better the video we are watching the better we are able to fly and our confidence rise as well.
