Thermovision cameras: I have been thinking on buildling a drone for night flying with switchable cameras - one with Ratel Pro (as it is excellent for this purpose) and second - the 256x192 4MM CVBS for environment without much light. Anyone tried this model? 🫠


I wonder how usable it is eg. to land in total darkness in zero-light enviornment. I was flying yesterday after 11pm with Ratel Pro only, in the woods, the background was hardly visible without additional light 😑 it was very hard to find the landing place at aim for it.


PS: I got inspired with Hoarder Sam's video 😎

Let's take flight together and elevate the world of FPV drones to new heights.
