The Hawkeye 4K Thumb features a native 4:3 image sensor. At 2.5K video resolution, the 4:3 mode provides 36% more pixels than the 16:9 mode. So the stabilization in 4:3 mode is much better than in 16:9 mode. The 12MP Sony sensor provides a 170° field of view. It supports 5-23V DC inputs so that you can power it from the drone’s main battery (2-5s LIPO).

The FireFly 4K Thumb camera can save gyro data while recording. The sampling rate can up…
