Product detailed description

FPV Thermal Camera Pilotix T256 CVBS+USB (9mm)

The Pilotix T256 CVBS+USB (9mm) is a compact uncooled thermal camera module designed for FPV drones, robotic platforms, industrial monitoring, and embedded systems requiring thermal vision. Equipped with a high-sensitivity vanadium oxide detector, it captures clear thermal images in challenging conditions such as complete darkness, smoke, fog, and low-contrast environments.

Thanks to its dual-output design, the module can transmit analog CVBS video for standard FPV goggles or transmitters while simultaneously providing USB digital output for recording, onboard processing, or integration with external systems. This makes it a practical solution for UAV operators who need both real-time piloting and thermal data acquisition.

Compared to shorter focal length versions, the 9 mm lens provides a narrower viewing angle and significantly longer observation range, making it better suited for identifying distant heat sources, surveillance tasks, and precision inspection flights.

- Dual video output: analog CVBS + USB
- Narrow-angle 9 mm lens for longer-range observation
- Multiple thermal display palettes
- Continuous digital zoom from 1.0× to 8.0×
- Image flip and mirroring functions
- Compact lightweight housing for FPV drones
- Designed for harsh operating environments
