Product detailed description

FPV Thermal Camera HobbyDrone Mini2 384x288

The HobbyDrone Mini2 384x288 is a compact uncooled infrared thermal camera module designed for FPV, UAV, and embedded vision systems. Built around a high-sensitivity vanadium oxide detector with 25mK NETD, it delivers clear and stable thermal imaging even in low-contrast environments, making it suitable for real-time observation and navigation.

With its 384×288 resolution, the camera provides a high level of image detail, allowing more precise detection and recognition of objects. The larger sensor format also results in a wider field of view, improving situational awareness during flight and making it easier to monitor the surrounding environment.

A key feature of this module is its dual video output architecture. It supports both analog (PAL/NTSC) and digital (USB2.0 / MIPI / DVP / BT656) outputs, enabling flexible integration into different systems. This allows the camera to be used for real-time FPV transmission while simultaneously providing a digital feed for recording, processing, or integration into onboard systems.

The camera operates at up to 60Hz with a fast response time, ensuring smooth and responsive image output during movement. Its lightweight and compact design makes it easy to integrate into drones and other space-constrained platforms without affecting overall system performance.

Overall, the Mini2 384x288 combines higher image detail, wide viewing angle, and flexible connectivity in a compact thermal module suitable for a wide range of FPV and embedded applications.
