Product Description

The SMO 4K Camera is a high-performance ultra-lightweight action camera developed by BETAFPV in collaboration with Insta360. It was specifically designed to provide high-resolution 4K video for micro cinewhoops and lightweight drones that are too small to carry a full-sized GoPro.

Ultra-Lightweight Performance: At just 30g, the SMO 4K is roughly 1/4th the weight of a standard GoPro. This allows small 2-inch to 3-inch cinewhoops to maintain their agility and flight time while still capturing professional-grade video.
Insta360 FlowState Stabilization: One of the biggest advantages of this camera is its integration with Insta360’s industry-leading stabilization. Whether you use the onboard stabilization or the desktop software, your footage will remain buttery smooth even during aggressive maneuvers.
4K Wide-Angle Video: It captures 4K video at 60fps with a wide field of view. The image quality is crisp and vibrant, making it suitable for professional cinematic FPV work.
Direct Power Input: The camera features a built-in 2-6S power input (GH1.25 connector), meaning it is powered directly from your drone's flight battery. You don't have to worry about charging an internal camera battery.
Remote Control Integration: You can connect the camera to your flight controller to start and stop recording remotely via a switch on your radio transmitter.

The Pilot's Reality Check:

Processing Workflow: Since this uses Insta360 technology, the raw files are often in the .insv format. You will need to use the Insta360 Studio desktop app or the mobile app to apply stabilization and export the final .mp4 files.
Fragility: Because it is designed for low weight, the casing is plastic and the lens is exposed. Using the included UV filter is essential to prevent damage during crashes.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

How does it get power?
The camera does not have an internal battery. It features a 6V to 27V power input, allowing you to power it directly from your drone's 2S to 6S LiPo battery. It uses a 4-pin pluggable connector that can be hardwired to your flight controller.
Can I control it from my radio?
Yes. One of its most convenient features is the support for remote control. By connecting the control wire to a UART on your flight controller and setting up a switch in Betaflight, you can start and stop recording or power the camera on/off directly from your radio transmitter.
Does it have image stabilization?
It uses Insta360’s proprietary FlowState Stabilization. For the best results, you record in "Pro" mode and then use the Insta360 Studio desktop software or mobile app to apply the stabilization in post-production. This is equivalent to using "Gyroflow" or "ReelSteady" with a GoPro.
What is the difference between the original and the SE version?
The SMO 4K SE (Special Edition) features a metal lens case instead of plastic. This adds about 5g to the weight but significantly increases the durability of the lens housing during crashes. The internal camera specs and video quality remain identical.
How do I change settings without a screen?
You connect the camera to your smartphone via 5G Wi-Fi using the Insta360 App. From there, you can see a live preview, change resolutions, frame rates, and exposure settings.
