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 😎
Testing Caddx Ratel Pro at night in minimum light conditions:
