The upcoming Caddx Walnut drone seems to be a serious competitor to the discontinued GoPro Session 5 and RunCam 5. Measuring just 38x36mm is also a great GoPro 11 Mini alternative -don’t mention that it weighs only 60 grams with a built-in battery!
According to the rumours, it will be available for orders in October 2022 with a starting price of $129. The Caddx Walnut comes in a nice carry case, with included charging cable, magnetic data/charging interface, two ND filters and a dedicated drone mount.
The Caddx Walnut can record 4K@60fps or 1080P@120fps videos with up to 100Mbps bit rate. It supports micro SD cards of up to 256GB. Thanks to the built-in WIFI connectivity can be controlled wirelessly from your smartphone. Being Gyroflow compatible, you can achieve smooth footage even when installed on your favourite FPV drone.
