Great comparison, like usual! Image quality on all cameras is superb, and for those interested in FOV, the Foxeer Toothless has the widest, and the Ratel 1 has the least. Go to the car park, where he zooms in to the railing to verify what I found. The Toothless can see some areas that the others simply can't because of it's wide FOV. Thanks Gal! :)
What are the horizontal artifacts of the Toothless 2 seen around 1:30? If I ignore that my personal ranking: 1.) Toothless 2 2.) Ratel 2 a long while nothing 3.) Ratel 1 4.) Phoenix 2
Apart from the lens flare,slightly narrower fov that others spotted, in the rat 1 footage, they are all very close. Getting harder now to pick out a better camera they are all good. the v2 is slightly better.
Slightly off topic. But were your (3D printed) dual camera holder stacks something you created or were the plans online. I was thinking of putting two camera's on my drone (with a camera switch) so that when I fly in the evening I can switch to a CAT 3 IR camera as it gets darker. I only own one drone and swapping a camera in the field obviously isn't desirable. Thks
they all looks so good!, I actually like the red lens flare on the Ratel 1 :D althou all looks so close and insanely good. i preffer analog to digital picture.
Analog/Digital is merely a different way to transmit/handle data. Digital just means you get undistorted data (or none at all), while analog data can continuously degrade when transmitting and receiving. You like digital picture better than analog as well. Everyone does because you get an undistorted picture (digital just means the transmitted image is as clear as recorded in the cam itself before transmitting). You could even use a digital VTX protocol to transmit the picture of analog cameras.
Fantastic testing and comparison, Gal! 😃 Those are some really amazing cameras! Honestly, any of them is good enough for me. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
@@KremerFPV Ok. I think it is the 2.1mm lens on the Ratel, because the 1.66mm lens is much wider than the Runcam Phoenix. Looks like the default settings on the Toothless 2 is 4:3 Wide FOV-D 180, because it is wider than the Ratel 2 with a FOV-D of 165.
Ratel 1 vs 2, my eyes can't see much differences ... except for the glare effect, but maybe it was there because the position of the ratel 1 is above the ratel 2
As a daytime rig they all was great. Think the foxeer toothless was little less pixelated in the night but a rig with any would be a great time. Thanx for the vid
I use Caddx ratel on one drone and Pheonix 2 on second drone... Caddx Ratel looks slightly better but it is not a "night & day" difference. Both of them have perfect image! I think ratel has less latency?
Have the Phoenix and the Ratel V1 both are good camera's. After seeing your previous video and this one, for sure I'm gonna get me the Ratel V2. Thanks Gal 😊🖖🏽.
Another extremely well conducted review. Thank you! Based on your reviews I have just ordered a Foxeer Toothless 2 Nano camera, will mount it into an Emax TinyHawk II for better indoor picture quality. I live in Sweden and there isn't much light, so a low weight and low light camera was needed in nano size. Has been hesitating about the Phoenix 2 Nano, but it is almost 5 g more, so I have skipped it. But I keep it in my mind for larger quads....
Thanks a lot. I am glad I could help you out :-) In the summer time you have plenty of light, don't you? Let me know how you like the camera after you'll test it out. Happy flying!
@@KremerFPV In Summer there is daylight until almost 22:00 at peak. But in Winter you hardly see daylight. In November the amount of hours with visible Sun have been 4 hours in some recent years....
I grabbed the Phoenix version three I think. Couldn’t be any more grainy. I’m just gonna use the caddx ratel 2 on everything from now on b Now, if the ratel 2 doesn’t look good that I know the VTX is crap and then this quad will just have to remain a little park ripper I guess. Not even that actually because you can’t see anything. And the quad I’m talking about is the. Axis flying manta 5 se.
I would say the ratel 2 and phoenix 2 trade blows pretty evenly. The ratel 2 being slightly less noisy at night. The toothless trails close behind, with better low light handling than the ratel 2, ratel 1 while in 4th place is still a pretty good camera overall!
Damn it man! I'm really liking the DJI lens on the new Ratel 2. WHY DO YOU HAVE MAKE ME WANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY!?!? Damn you Gal!!!!! Still love you though! Thank you!
Ratal 1 has best color to me, I enjoy the picture. foxeer seems brightest with less contrast ratel 2 seems flattest at edges and most contrast.. I dunno..
Small differences in image quality. I think that analog systems are difficult to upgrade, this technology is already developed. For now, I'm waiting for a new generation of digital systems, not necessarily from DJI. Greetings from Poland :)
Fantastic comparison! as always. I think the Caddx Ratel 2 was best in every situation. Do you think the Caddx Ratel 2 is just a Caddx Nebula Micro without the digital output?
Not at all the nebula is honestly not great I have one and compare it to the current fleet of ratels I use and it's not even close for analog use .. idk about the digital side of it
@@KremerFPV this really helped me to make a decision based on my preferences, instead of influencers opinions. Thanks for enlightening me. Just placed order for Caddx Ratel 2 since I've liked its sharpness without "digital-like" edges and low-light performance. I wish growth to your channel, you're making valuable content!
Ratel 1 has way less details than v2 or other competitors. Ratel 2 wins in Color artifacts - purple around wires and meshes and such. Ratel 2 wins at low light by a mile
I really like the Ratel V1, but the V2 looks to have added quite a bit more to the FOV, and the lens distortion looks much better!
I disagree I won both and tbh I like v1
You're a gem of a person, i just got into rc hobby and your content is like a teacher to me😇 lots of love and support from India and techadron family
Its 2024 and I am watching this video to help with selecting cameras for my racing drone. Thank you for the upload!
My pleasure. Happy flying!
Analog cameras have definitely peaked. Looking very much forward to Ratel HD!

My pleasure buddy, appreciate your insights.
Just ordered ratel 2, really like the low lights and less noise. Mostly flying with overcast/cloudy weather.
Phoenix 2 really good in clear weather.
Enjoy your new camera!
What are the horizontal artifacts of the Toothless 2 seen around 1:30? If I ignore that my personal ranking:
1.) Toothless 2
2.) Ratel 2
a long while nothing
3.) Ratel 1

Thanks for your input. It was just a DVR glitch.
The Ratel v2 has much less lens glare compared to the others.
I kind of like the lens flares

I think the runcam looked pretty good 👍
These tests say a lot for the image quality of these 4 cams. Thanks for posting this, Gal.
I prefer the FOV on the Ratel 2 and Toothless. Not sure which of them is better...
What is the lens on Ratel 1 ?
2.1 or 1.66 ?

Thanks so much! 😊
I like my toothless, it seems to have less grain/ rainbow pixels compared with others
Is that the Toothless in 4:3 WIDE mode? And the Caddx Ratel v1 with the 2.1mm lens? With the 1.66m lens it should be wider.
I used the default settings and as far as I can remember the Ratel V1 was using the 1.66mm lens.
@@KremerFPV Ok. I think it is the 2.1mm lens on the Ratel, because the 1.66mm lens is much wider than the Runcam Phoenix. Looks like the default settings on the Toothless 2 is 4:3 Wide FOV-D 180, because it is wider than the Ratel 2 with a FOV-D of 165.
Not much difference between them, in daylight. But the Ratel 2 standouts in lowlight.

Awesome Gal, was looking at the Ratel 2 and looking for a good comparison video.
Glad it was helpful, thank you :-)
Gal another great video! You were a featured on News with Bardwell and Blunty today! I feel like I know a celebrity! 🌟
The Ratel Is my favorite camera to use on all my quads. This new Ratel 2 looks sweet minor changes but looks great as usual
I dunno why I like watching your camera reviews so much 😅
Well I am glad that you do :-)
@@KremerFPV :)
The Ratel V2 looks great! Hopefully the nano version will have a similar FOV.
As a daytime rig they all was great. Think the foxeer toothless was little less pixelated in the night but a rig with any would be a great time. Thanx for the vid
My pleasure. Thanks for your input.
im surprise toothless micro 2 is holding up against ratel 2. but noise suppression reduction in ratel 2 is top notch against the rest. 3:13
drone model??
I use Caddx ratel on one drone and Pheonix 2 on second drone... Caddx Ratel looks slightly better but it is not a "night & day" difference. Both of them have perfect image! I think ratel has less latency?
I measured the latency of both cameras, you can check out my videos :-)
@@KremerFPV I am surely watched them (as every your vid), it seems I have to refresh my memory and watch it again :-)
Ohh, I'm glad i shilled out an extra penny for phoenix 2..
Seems a bit noisy, but it has great wdr
This was exactly the review I needed. Thank you!!!
My pleasure Ian, I am glad you found this video useful mate.
hmmmm
ratel2 has minimal to no lens flare? impressive 👍
so good video, help me to choose camera, and i still confuse , between phonix and ratel 2.. what do you think?
Phoenix 2 still looks better to me but im watching on youtube on a phone lol its just as good they all are good
Haha :-) You can watch it on your computer later.
Have the Phoenix and the Ratel V1 both are good camera's. After seeing your previous video and this one, for sure I'm gonna get me the Ratel V2.
Thanks Gal 😊🖖🏽.
My pleasure and happy flying with your new camera ;-)
@@KremerFPV Thanks an will do 😁👍🏼. Have a nice day Gal 🖖🏽.
Thanks Gal - Good SBS comparison. the v2 seem to have much less lens distortion, and a higher FOV as you have mentioned.
Toothless has most FOV
I meant in compare to ratel v1 (fov)
Thanks bro!
Wait, my rekon5 said it came with the ratel 2, but it looks like the 1. Did getfpv fk me?🙁
I doubt it.
@@KremerFPV I think it's still a ratel 2, just a red version.
@@damienkinchen makes sense. Enjoy your new drone!
Surprisingly absolutely no lens glare seen on Ratel 2. Better colors, wider FOV, lighter. Perfect!
I am glad you liked it :-)
These cams gets better and better! I see no reason to switch to HD for now.
They are good, but HD is a different world.
@@KremerFPV Oh for sure. I'm hopeful for SharkByte that they might release a greatly improved system soon. Can't wait to see you review it =)

Great test Gal!
Thank you! Cheers!
Cool comparison. Thank you
👍😎
Do you also get weird glitching with the ratel v1 when using rapidfire or fusion?
As far as I can remember - yes.
@@KremerFPV Damn
@@KremerFPV Do you remember how it looked?
@@madladdan Glitchy video / weird colors of some sort.
I would be curious a coparison between Ratel 2 and T-rex
Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you for the vid... really cool to see a four cam comparison like this. Good job👍 I'll have to stick with digital still though.
My pleasure. Digital is definitely a game changer.

Yep, please see the description of the video.
Nice review 👍🏽. Thanks
No problem 👍
Ratel 2 is undoubtedly a good camera, but I will buy Phoenix)))
In my opinion Phoenix 2 is the winner here. (daylight / good light) Much better visibility, contrast, sharpness.
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
Were these recd at 60 fps ?
30fps DVR
Is high end analog gear still worth it or should I go for DJI?
Looks like The biggest difference between analog or Dji is the camera itself.
I am very satisfied with the DJI system and defiantly recommend it.
@@KremerFPV Thanks! I'll wait for v2 to be released though.
Cool idea 🎉

Oh yes I have to get the V2

If only you can purchase the DJI lens standalone and fix it to other cameras
I am pretty sure Caddx will sell it as well.

Am I the only one that can't really see a difference between them in terms of image quality? Even the colors aren't too much different
Ratel 1 has way less details than v2 or other competitors. Ratel 2 wins in Color artifacts - purple around wires and meshes and such.
Ratel 2 wins at low light by a mile
I agree there is a big similarity and even the OSD menus are very similar.
Thank you, I prefer foxxer.
Ratel 2 least glare imo
Could you imagine if Runcam, Foxeer and Ratel were all just the same company?..just saying..🤔
I highly doubt it :-)
Cadxx ratel 2 wins in my opinion
They all look so much the same I don't think it would make any difference using any of them.
Tell you what. They are making it extremely hard to pick an analog fpv cam now. Lol.
That's right :-)
All look the same
Ratel2 wins
Runcam color is wrong, too green, toothless and ratel color is close, toothless has the widest FOV, all in all, toothless is the best.
