With this new camera, my HDZero 1S Whoop is now just 22.8 grams, and it has the widest FOV I have ever seen on a digital FPV system! Full parts list below (click SHOW MORE).

I accidentally damaged the 1S VTX in my build, but Daniel from ATX Airborne was kind enough to send me one of his. THANK YOU DANIEL! Go check out the HDZero content on his channel too!

Exact parts I used for this camera:
- Runcam Nano HD Camera: bit.ly/3yGNVpn
- Lens from a Wolfwhoop WT07 analog camera: amzn.to/2XV7g6a
- NinjaTek Armadillo TPU: amzn.to/3HA1omL
Build Notes:
- Camera: I used the older Runcam Nano HD camera. It has an orange body and a 14x14mm back plate. The newer Runcam/HDZero branded nano camera has a different size back plate (14x16mm) and a different size sensor. I also have the Foxeer Digisight V2. It could work but it is not as light even after you remove all the analog wires because the sensor itself is encased in a thicker piece of glass.
- Lens: I like the WT07 lens because it is ultra wide. The downside is that you have to remove the glue to get it off. I used a tiny screwdriver to break through the glue and then pry it off in pieces. There are lots of other whoop cameras with the same size lens however. If it has an IR filter, then it will probably work. Pick your favorite and give it a try (if you're feeling brave enough to modify a $50 camera, that is).
3D Printer Models:
- STL file for the camera body I used: bit.ly/3oxEWTE
- Remix the TinkerCad project if you want to modify the parameters: bit.ly/3GBrWlY
- STL file for the updated camera mount: bit.ly/3rL3ZVv
