Caddx Ratel 2 Camera Black (Industrial Packaging)
Caddx Ratel 2 Camera Black (Industrial Packaging) – Full Ratel 2 Quality in Industrial Packaging
The Caddx Ratel 2 Camera Black (Industrial Packaging) is the same proven analog FPV camera as the standard Ratel 2, supplied in simple industrial packaging instead of a retail box – a practical choice for builders and shops mounting it straight into a frame without unboxing overhead. The 1/1.8" sensor captures more light, while the 165° field of view makes obstacles easier to identify during fast maneuvers. A reinforced lens frame and compact construction make it a practical option for freestyle builds exposed to frequent impacts and hard landings.
Caddx Ratel 2 Camera Black (Industrial Packaging) Key Features
- 1/1.8" Starlight sensor: captures more light for clearer imaging during the day, at dusk, and in low-light conditions.
- 1200TVL resolution: makes obstacles and flight-path details easier to identify in an analog FPV feed.
- 165° field of view: provides a wide perspective for dynamic freestyle and proximity flying.
- Super WDR: helps retain visibility across bright highlights and shadowed areas.
- Switchable 4:3 and 16:9: allows the image format to match different goggles and pilot preferences.
- 2.1mm lens: delivers a wide and practical view of the surrounding environment.
- Fully enclosed housing: shields the electronics and helps limit exposure to rain, dust, and debris.
- Impact protection: the enclosed structure provides additional protection during crashes and hard landings.
- Low 5.9g weight: adds practical protection without significantly increasing aircraft weight.
- 4.5–36V input range: supports integration into a wide variety of analog FPV builds.
- PAL and NTSC support: provides compatibility with different analog video systems.
More light for a clearer image
The large 1/1.8" sensor captures more light than smaller sensors commonly used in compact FPV cameras. This helps preserve visibility in shadows, cloudy conditions, and flights taking place near sunrise or sunset.
Ready for changing light conditions
The camera helps maintain a usable FPV image as ambient light begins to fade. Clear daytime performance and improved night visibility make it suitable for a wider range of flying conditions than a basic analog camera.
Protection designed for freestyle
The reinforced frame helps shield the lens from hard landings and contact with obstacles. Its 5MP lens is designed to deliver detailed imaging while reducing unwanted distortion across the wide viewing angle.
A wider view during fast flights
The 165° field of view gives pilots a broad look at the space ahead of the aircraft, making obstacles easier to notice and upcoming maneuvers easier to plan. This is especially useful for freestyle, proximity flying, and routes through trees or other tight environments.
Built for demanding freestyle flights
The enclosed housing protects the lens and camera electronics from direct contact with the ground and nearby obstacles. This is particularly valuable during aggressive freestyle flying, where hard landings and accidental impacts are common. The reinforced design helps reduce the risk of mechanical damage without adding excessive weight to the aircraft.
Enclosed protection for challenging conditions
The fully enclosed housing helps prevent dust, debris, and light rain from reaching the camera PCB. This makes the camera better suited to flights above dusty terrain, wet grass, and other demanding outdoor environments. At only 5.9g, it delivers additional protection while keeping the FPV build lightweight.
Caddx Ratel 2 Camera Black (Industrial Packaging) Wiring Diagram
The camera exposes a 4-pin power and video connector (4.5–26V input, GND, VIDEO) plus a separate 2-pin OSD connector for pairing with Caddx's OSD menu board, used to adjust on-screen display settings without removing the camera from the frame. This industrial packaging does not include the menu board – it is sold separately if you need in-frame OSD configuration.
