* Excellent low light performance. Thanks to the 1/2'' super global WDR image sensor and the ƒ/2.0 big aperture 7G glass lens, the Phoenix 2 Nano's low light performance is even better than the RunCam Eagle.
* 7G ƒ/2.0 big aperture glass lens. Less red lens flare. The customized high-quality 7 layers of glass lens has a ƒ/2.0 aperture which brings less red lens flare and less purple fringing effect. These lenses are also used on the RunCam Split Nano3.
* Less digital shimmer. Comparing to the RunCam Micro Eagle, the Phoenix 2 Nano has way less digital shimmer and a much clearer image.

This is called a true review. Kudos to the channel. Weight, dimensions, feature, latency and side by side comparison. Gave me wholistic view. Well done!!
Thanks a lot, I truly appreciate it!
Awesome camera review! Your comparison had all of the cameras in it that I have been waiting to see side by side, except for the Nano Toothless 2. This was an extremely helpful video. Thank you!
But the Nano Toothless 2 was in this comparison.
Thanks for watching and for your continues support!
Many Many thanks for your efforts to make this and sharing with us. Very helpful video
Great review and comparison, that’s one impressive camera comparing rig! Stay healthy.
Thanks! Take care and stay healthy too :-)
Wow! All cameras are so great now a days! Bro, I think your job is done! There's not enough difference to even debate it anymore! I suggest you move on to another category because these are all so good, there's no use comparing them! Lol
Great job my brother! 😎🤘😉
Thanks bro!
Haha, so now I can retire ;-)
Great review / comparison video. Thanks 🤓
Thanks John!
just what ive been waiting for :)
Thanks for an other great review
My pleasure!
Hey cool Test my friend!
In my opinion the Cat2 is the best 👊🏻🍻
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
agree.
Thanks! Cat 2 review will be up soon ;-)
Thanks for that Gal. I find your four-way side by side comparisons to be very helpful.
The more I see it, the more I like the Toothless Nano 2. The Phoenix nano is good, but not as good to my eye and the Baby Ratel just does not fare that well even though I wanted it to as the Ratel has been my favorite camera since it came out. That said, these are all good cameras, a significant improvement over what we had just a year ago.
Thanks for your input!
For more flight footage of the Toothless 2 cameras check out my latest video: czcams.com/video/toXREXXaeMI/video.html
Thanks again Gal! I wonder if you would be interested in doing a side by side flight of what might be considered the best of each camera size? For example whoop cam, nano, and micro like Nano 3, Micro Eagle or Ratel, and whatever is the best Nano (Predator or baby Ratel etc.). Purely as an exercise to show the benefits, if any, of going up a size in camera.
Thanks for the suggestion! That's a great idea and I will try to make it happen :-)
Hi. Comming back to this review, What is happening with picture with phoenix 2 nano? Seems like issue with camera or DVR?
As said, now that cams are all great, if you could compare vtxs somehow that would be dope. Especially the micro ones like the tiny tank and tbs offerings. I guess fly the same course with different ones hooked up and gopro an fpv monitor? Anyway, you do amazing work. Keep it up bro.
Thanks Erick! That's a great suggestion and I've been trying to figure a good way to compare VTXs for a while.
I am trying to build something that will help me to do it and hopefully I will be able to test it soon.
Thenks
Great review Gal! I’m liking the looks of it plus it’s a little longer than the predator nano 4 and the toothless 2 nano. Should fit the 533 switchback frame a little better. The way it is now the toothless sits far back in the camera mount and I can see the mount in my goggles and that bugs me. The extra 2mm should be perfect.
My pleasure. Let me know how you like it after you will test it out :-)
I just got this camera today. If you watch the Phoenix feed, you will see black bars intermittently. I'm also experiencing the same when the radio rx is connected. I assume it's picking up interference from somewhere. Interesting that is shows in Gal's test though with it recording the DVR on board
That's RF interference. Probably from another component on your quad. Hard to say which one... Seems maybe that camera is more sensitive to it that the others are.
@@scootroter4859 Thanks for that. I think you are correct in saying that. I'm running crossfire on my quad
Scoot Rooter might be right. I also noticed the same issue on Nick Burns' video BTW.
@@KremerFPV I rebuilt the quad I was running it on to get the xf antennas away from the vtx. Will hopefully try it later today and see if it makes a difference. Out of interest, are you running crossfire on that rig? Thanks for the reply 👍
Was the frame desyncing issue caused by the Nano 2 Phoenix camera or the DVR? The other three cameras didn't desync. I watch CZcams videos in high-definition on a high-definition big screen TV and it looked really bad. What I was seeing may not show up on a smaller PC monitor. Thanks Gal.
I am not sure yet but I've seen it also on Nick Burns' video.
I will run more tests soon.
Wow, that latency measurement technique is brilliant and flawless. Great that it includes the VTX, receiver and HDO2 latency in there for an end-to-end result.👍
There is just one little typo in your spreadsheet where you have "-15ms (Racer 3 latency)", I think you meant HDO2 there as well. How did you measure the goggle latency?
Thanks. Yes, you are right - there is a typo in the spreadsheet :-)
I measured the latency of the goggles using the Racer 3 camera (that why the text was left there from a previous test), as I know it's latency. This wasn't a 100% accurate test but the numbers should be very close to the actual ones.
@@KremerFPV yes there is an error of about +/- 4ms but I can live with this. I've already used your technique to measure the video latency on 3 of my quads and they roughly match what others have documented for these cams. It's also helped me identify that the Aomway Commander v1 LCDs have a slower pixel response than my Fatshark HD2s as it takes about 4 frames fully transition on. This explains the motion blur I've always noticed in the Aomways.
hello....just got new runcam phoenix 2 nano,and it come with hard wires...can you tell me name of conector that I order conector with silicon vires...thank you
Baby ratel in my opinion has the best colors
Cat 2 seemed to have more red, less blue and it's image seemed a lot sharper than all of the others for almost all of its run. Not the best colour and did have a few tiny exposure issues with dark dirt areas, but overall I can easily say it was my favourite. The Toothless was also very solid and my runner up. The Phoenix was decent all around, but didn't stand out and those others beat it in low-light where it was also too grainy. This video also has reinforced my opinion that the Ratel Nano is just mushy by comparison and is of no interest at all with these other options. Thanks for another great video!
I always appreciate your insights Andrew!
@@KremerFPV Oddly though, I see a lot of horizontal lines/flickering in the Phoenix 2 Nano's video there that none of the other 3 do... Isn't that quite a problem?
@@Vousie I think that it's more related to the DVR than to the camera. I am preparing a new side by side comparison rig and I think that it will improve this aspect as well.
It's an amazing idea to test four cameras at once.
What is vtx using?
Thanks. Each camera is connected to a separate DVR.
can i control this like the first phoenix and hook up the menu wire to cam control on my FC
?
As far as I know, yes - but I haven't tested it.
@@KremerFPV Actually No it doesnt work. on the Oscar edition V1 phoenix you had to switch between joystick and uart input. this one doesnt have that, I wired it to cam control but nothing happens. I believe its joystick only and for some reason they dont give a joystick and with my luck I dont have a runcam joystick. I would have also bought a micro size since I love the v1 so much but not if i can t change any settings, what would I do if it came with the wrong settings. The competition like the ratel and the falkor both come with joysticks, rumcam should have just left this as it was or send the joystick. IMO
wish you would have compared it to the foxeer toothless 2 as shown on your test rig instead of the cat 2. Would have been a more realistic comparison. but otherwise good review as usual
I don't think that I had it at the time of shooting this video.
Anyway you can watch this video: czcams.com/video/toXREXXaeMI/video.html
i think the baby ratel is still better
i'd like to know how much better these 1/2" nano cameras are, compared to the nano 3, if the weight increase is worth the better view
Gal, I'd like to know that too! I just bought my 3rd and 4th Runcam Nano3 because it's image is so good and it's like having no camera at all because it weighs barely a gram! Bangers had them on Sale for $14.90, and it's incredible for that price. Anyway I look 👀 at it, the image is plenty good enough for me to fly... And isn't that what it's all about? Heck, the old Caddx F1 turbo was good enough for me to fly just fine, and these are a world apart from that older camera! I think people sometimes are too picky about the image quality of FPV cameras! It simple needs to be good enough for us to fly. Simple as that! And that needs to be remembered as the FPV cameras sole purpose! 🤔😉
I need to get a new Nano 3 camera as mine is not in a pristine condition for a side by side comparison video :-/
@@KremerFPV i saw some listings on ebay, maybe you can still get one there
Nice.
Nice review. Would it be possible to do a low light/night comparison?
5:49
Thanks. Please see Carsten's comment and also this video:
czcams.com/video/toXREXXaeMI/video.html
Do you know the name of the connector it uses?
I don't, sorry. I just checked Runcam's store and they don't sell it as well. Hopefully they will add it to their store.
@@KremerFPV so if you lose or break the connector you're screwed? This sucks.
Yes it's definitely annoying and I mentioned that in my opinion they should have used soldering pads instead.
In the night scenes you changed the Foxeer CAT by the Thootless. No way to know which is the better globally.
Thanks for your feedback. I will try to improve the videos on the next tests.
@@KremerFPV mate they already the best, as always can be small things. In other, I show cat 2 vs cat 3 (not sure), but cat 3 is 16:9 native and it was set in 4/3 so it lost video information and looked more pixelated. i think 16/9 sensors should keep the format even if the side by side dont look so geometric,. others wiil tell you other thing, no way you do all for all. proof you get dislikes lol
@@KremerFPV just got x2 cat 2 before they disappear from shops.
Latency is the point, are racing drones. thootless 2 bettter picture, but too bad latency, Cat 3 for totally dark, who do that? but latency is just good for FS.
So CAT 2 is the 2nd or 3rd better in everything ( I put runcams and caddx here), but the best in latency can race in day, night and indoors and still looks so good as the second or 3rd one (phoenix and ratel).
2nd better camera is FXT T71 but 22mm and no available, available 2nd better , phoenix v2 except if you are racer. but cat2 can do everything. expensive that is true.
@@Flamenawer Yep, can't please them all I guess. Anyway I alway love to get feedback and on some video I try different things in order to see how they work.
@@KremerFPV is quite difficult if not impossible do it better if you don't have a lab and professional resources. be proud.
Hard to understand who dislikes these kind videos😒
People will be people :-)
is your Ratel out of focus or it really has THAT much less resolution??/
All the cameras were properly focused.
