Walkera iLook+
Walkera iLook+ HD Specs
Image Sensor:
The camera features a native 4 MP OmniVision OV4689 sensor. That’s the same sensor as used in the Eken H9 or SJ4000+. Although the description often says 12 MP, just the image is upscaled to get 12MP photos.
Chipset:
The camera holds a iCatch 6350M processor as described on the website. Could be that this is the 6350M chip from Sunplus which is also used in the Amkov AMK7000S. The Eken H9 holds a 6330M Sunplus chip.
Lens:
150 degree wide angle, all glass lens; aperture is f2.8 or even 2.6 – the data is a little inconsistent on their website.
Video Resolution:
Also here the data varies a bit
- 4K – max. 10fps
- 1080p – max. 60fps
There is no word on 720p with 120fps, but that might be possible, same as for Eken H9 and Amkov AMK7000S
Recording Format:
The videos are recorded in .mov files, .h264 codec
Photo Resolution & Format:
max. 12MP .jpg – thats why they call it a 12MP camera, even tough it has a 4MP sensor 😉
Display:
The camera doesn’t have a live view or data display as its main purpose is to transmit the image.
Battery:
i couldn’t find any information if there is a detachable or built in battery;
on the side of the camera there is a port to connect it with a quadcopter and power it that way.
Storage:

Conclusion
The Walkera iLook is a bit like the EKEN H9 and Amkov AMK7000S when it comes to the camera specs: all of them use the OmniVision 4MP OV4689 sensor and a Sunplus chip. What’s different of course is that the Walkera iLook+ has a built in 5.8G transmitter with a pluig-in antenna for transmitting images. Therefore it lacks a live view screen, which is not necessary for that purpose. But when comparing these two facts it seems that the Walkera iLook+ is pretty expensive as the EKEN starts under 50 USD.
