RunCam Robin 3 Camera for Drones

The RunCam Robin 3 camera is a high-quality video module from the RunCam brand, specifically designed for drones and FPV systems. Equipped with a 1/3″ CMOS sensor, it provides a horizontal resolution of 1200TVL and supports the 4:3 format, which offers an extended vertical field of view for first-person view (FPV) control. Thanks to its wide field of view, the camera captures large panoramas: 150° diagonal, 120° horizontal, and 87° vertical. The devices are available with mirror and flipped image functions, adding flexibility for mounting on various platforms.

Additional Information

The RunCam Robin 3 is ideal for FPV flights thanks to its 1/3″ sensor and 4:3 aspect ratio, which provide a larger vertical field of view compared to standard 16:9 modules. The universal 6-pin interface simplifies menu setup and integration with flight controllers and video systems. The ABS housing material and four-screw design ensure durability, dust protection, and stable mounting on the drone chassis, which is especially important for active flights and racing applications.

This camera combines high resolution, a wide field of view, and flexible power options (DC 5-23V), making the RunCam Robin 3 a versatile solution for various types of aircraft: from mini-drones to heavier platforms. Low power consumption (120mA at 5V, 60mA at 12V) minimizes impact on flight time, and NTSC/PAL support ensures compatibility with most video receivers and recording devices.

The RunCam Robin 3 is recommended for drone pilots seeking a reliable FPV camera, as well as engineers and designers who require a compact (19mm x 19mm x 19mm), lightweight (5.3 g), and durable video module for integration into custom projects.
