The lightweight 3D-Cam FPV here under is a stereoscopic camera designed by EMR Laboratories specifically for FPV flying. The camera generates industry standard field-sequential 3D video which can be viewed using 3D capable glasses supporting field sequential video. It is designed to work with standard FPV transmitters and receivers to provide life like 3D while flying.

3D FPV Camera from EMR Labs

The camera sends images in NTSC field sequential 3D video format. Images are taken 30 times per second. Each image is separated in two interlaced frames, one for each eye, so the odd field is for the left eye and the even field is for the right eye. A head-mounted display (i.e. Oculus Rift) is the best viewing solution. See the Transporter 3D page for details.

The camera can be set to either 2D or 3D mode and has adjustable convergence and white balance. The camera comes with a remote cable that can be connected to a receiver to control the camera convergence or exposure while the aircraft is in the air. The exposure feature is excellent for keeping the ground properly visible under adverse conditions such as sunrise or sunset conditions. The camera lenses are positioned at the human inter-ocular distance (65 mm) to generate a true to life 3D experience. Special calibration modes are provided to enable the user to realign the cameras if needed.
