# 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](https://fpv-db.com/data/), an independent spec database for FPV
parts. The canonical copy is regenerated daily at
[fpv-db.com/data](https://fpv-db.com/data/) and
[github.com/fpvdb/fpv-db-data](https://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`.

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
motors = load_dataset("fpvdb/fpv-components", "motors", split="train")
thrust = load_dataset("fpvdb/fpv-components", "motor_thrust", split="train")
```

## 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.
