FPV Thermal Camera HobbyDrone Mini2 256x192

Product detailed description

FPV Thermal Camera HobbyDrone Mini2 256x192

The HobbyDrone Mini2 is a compact uncooled infrared thermal camera module featuring a high-sensitivity vanadium oxide detector. With its 256x192 resolution and 25mK NETD, it delivers clear thermal imaging even in low-contrast environments. Designed for FPV and embedded applications, it offers smooth video output, multiple palettes, and excellent adaptability for demanding environments. One of the key advantages of this module is its dual video output architecture, which supports both analog (PAL/NTSC) and digital (USB2.0 / MIPI / DVP / BT656) outputs. This means the camera can operate simultaneously in traditional FPV analog systems while also feeding digital processing platforms. Compared to single-output thermal cameras, this significantly increases system flexibility and integration potential. The key benefit here is practical: one output can be used for real-time FPV piloting or transmission, while the second digital output can be used for recording, AI processing, telemetry analysis, or integration into embedded systems. This makes the Mini2 more versatile for drones, robotics, inspection tools, and multi-system setups where parallel data usage is important.
