FPV Reviews: The RunCam Micro Sparrow
61It's slightly smaller and lighter than the wonderful RunCam Micro Swift, and it has a 16:9 sensor, so how does it perform ?
Disclaimer: I did pay for this myself, but at a discounted price from RunCam. My opinions are always my own, but I encourage you to always be skeptical and seek other opinions.
I picked up my Micro Sparrow from RunCam here http://shop.runcam.com/runcam-micro-sparrow/
You can also get it from one of their official partners like Banggood (as it gives me the excuse to post an affiliate link :-o )

..and the (to me) better in all ways Micro Swift - https://www.banggood.com/RunCam-Micro-Swift-2-600TVL-2_1mm2_3mm-FOV-160145-Degree-13-CCD-FPV-Camera-with-Built-in-OSD-p-1179743.html?p=E81211714085201408XQ
It's a nice camera, if you have a very stable platform - but I still don't really see the point. People who place importance on having a 16:9 display and being able to swap between PAL/NTSC will love it, but the Micro Swift is just better. I'll stick it up on a plane though, and see how we go.
