Caddx Eclipse 005SH FT004-V3R Thermovision Camera
The Caddx Eclipse 005SH FT004-V3R Thermovision Camera shows heat where an ordinary camera sees only darkness, and Pixelpump-Gen3 technology makes heat sources stand out clearly in the image. Fly on your analog link and watch the same picture on a second screen at the same time. A small camera head and a separate module give you freedom in the build, so thermal vision fits even a drone where space is tight.
Caddx Eclipse 005SH FT004-V3R Thermovision Camera — Sharper Heat Sources with Pixelpump-Gen3
The Caddx Eclipse 005SH FT004-V3R Thermovision Camera is an analog thermal FPV camera made of a 22x22x27.65mm camera head and a separate 33.5x33.5x16.5mm module connected by a cable. It delivers a 576x432 image (Pixelpump-Gen3) at 50Hz through a 5.1mm F1.0 lens with a 56° x 41° field of view and sends video over analog PAL and digital UVC at the same time. It runs on 4.5-20V, typically draws under 1.5W and works from -20°C to 50°C.

Clearer Image with Pixelpump-Gen3
The camera uses third-generation Pixelpump-Gen3 technology, which makes the image clearer and heat sources more prominent. Both pictures below were recorded on a Hawkeye analog receiver, the left one with a camera without Pixelpump-Gen3 and the right one with it. The image with Pixelpump-Gen3 is clearer and shows more detail.

Caddx Eclipse 005SH FT004-V3R Thermovision Camera Key Features
Sharp Thermal Image
The camera delivers a 576x432 thermal image (Pixelpump-Gen3) at 50Hz. Heat sources stand out more clearly from the background, so objects are easier to spot in flight.
Analog and Digital at Once
Video goes out over analog PAL and digital UVC at the same time. You can fly on an analog video transmitter and watch the same picture on a UVC device, such as a computer.
Wide Power Range
The camera runs on 4.5-20V and typically draws under 1.5W. You can power it directly from a 2S-4S pack, and on 5S or 6S from a regulated output within this range, such as a BEC.
Image Adjustment
Brightness and contrast (0-100), color palettes (0-4), horizontal, vertical or diagonal image flip and the 1.0-4.0x stepless digital zoom are set over UVC. You match the image to the conditions and to how the camera is mounted.
Caddx Eclipse 005SH FT004-V3R Thermovision Camera Dimensions
The camera head measures 22x22x27.65mm and the module 33.5x33.5x16.5mm. The module has mounting holes spaced 20x20mm and 25.5x25.5mm, the same mounting patterns used for flight controllers.
