FPV-DB: FPV drone component specifications

Structured specifications for 1145 FPV drone components - BNF quads, brushless motors, LiPo/Li-ion packs, propellers, FC/ESC stacks, FPV cameras and video transmitters - plus 6,169 manufacturer thrust bench measurements for 140 motors.

This is a mirror of the open dataset published by fpv-db.com, an independent spec database for FPV parts. The canonical copy is regenerated daily at fpv-db.com/data and github.com/fpvdb/fpv-db-data; this mirror is a snapshot of 2026-10-17.

Tables

Config	Rows	Contents
quads	101	BNF quads: class, weight without battery, recommended battery, prop size, video system
motors	200	Brushless motors: stator, KV options, weight, max cells, recommended props
batteries	327	Packs: chemistry, cells, capacity, C rating, weight, connector, price per Wh
props	195	Propellers: diameter, pitch, blades, mount, weight, material
stacks	111	FC/ESC stacks and AIOs: kind, MCU, mount pattern, max cells, ESC rating
cameras	52	FPV cameras: video system, size class, sensor
vtx	159	Video transmitters: system, max power, frequency range
motor_thrust	6169	Manufacturer bench tables: thrust, current, RPM and efficiency per throttle step, per KV winding, prop and voltage

Every row has slug (a stable identifier), url (the component's page on fpv-db.com) and sources (the URLs its figures were verified against). motor_thrust.motor_slug joins to motors.slug.

How it is built

• Figures come from manufacturer pages and datasheets first, then public retail listings; every entry lists its sources.
• A component is included only when every required field for its type is filled - an entry with a missing key spec is left out, not guessed.
• Thrust tables are transcribed from the manufacturer's own bench sheets (often published only as images) and checked row by row: a row's efficiency must equal thrust / (voltage x current), and identical measurements under two different motors are flagged as a copied sheet.
• Version caveats (analog vs HD builds, per-KV weights, class-standard assumptions) are kept in note.
• One product, one row: retail listings of the same part are merged.

Limitations

• Specs are what the manufacturer or retailer states; nothing here is independently measured. Verify before you fly.
• Bench data is the manufacturer's test setup (prop, voltage, ESC); it is not comparable across brands to the gram.
• Coverage follows what is published in English; the catalogue leans to parts sold by US retailers, plus the 4.9-6.0 GHz wideband VTX class.
