techdaemon | DJI FPV DVR recording of true night flying with NLOS (Low Latency) @techdaemn | Uploaded December 2019 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Best viewed at 1440p setting even on 1080p monitor.
Here's a night spot I haven't flown in years. It's best flown with snow on the ground and some moonlight as a good camera can see the moonlit snow directly, and if nothing else it helps spread out the light from the street lights, although I see more have died and never been fixed since I flew here last.
Anyway, DJI FPV camera has very wide dynamic range, but it's only an average camera at night.
Here's an old DVR video from my Hero3 Black with Protune turned on.

I'd forgotten how good of an FPV camera in low light conditions until I viewed this video again.
It was also recorded with a high quality analog DVR. Forgot how good that was too, compared to the Fatshark DVR.
However, when you compare the videos, you can see that the NLOS peformance of the DJI system is vastly better, and that old quad was using 800mW 1.3Ghz VTX with a full sized cloverleaf. I did see the image slow down a couple times, and dropped from 4 bars down to 3 or 2, but could fly through it without issue. You can't see it in this vid, but sometimes there were several structures between me and the quad. Can see them better in the old video.
