The Caddx Ratel 2 is a 1/1.8 inch, 1200TVL FPV camera with superb night vision and clear, sharp images. The listing says it uses a high-quality 1/1.8 inch starlight Super WDR sensor that gives a sensitivity of up to 0.0001 lux.
It offers 8ms low latency, switchable 4:3 and 16:9 image sizes, PAL/NTSC switching and a separate OSD menu board, so you can adjust the picture settings.
The features also include 3DNR noise reduction, wide dynamic range, day/night modes and several menu languages.
1/1.8 inch starlight HDR sensor: strong low-light and high-contrast performance.
Up to 0.0001 lux: night vision.
8ms latency: quick response for racing and freestyle.
Switchable formats: 4:3 or 16:9, PAL or NTSC.
OSD menu: a separate 5D-OSD board for settings.
Wide input: 5V to 40V.
An analog FPV camera sends a live composite video signal to the video transmitter on the drone. The image sensor turns light into an electrical signal, the camera processes it and outputs a video signal that the transmitter sends to your goggles. TVL (television lines) is a measure of horizontal resolution, and a bigger sensor usually collects more light, which helps in dim conditions.
The lens sets the field of view: a wider angle shows more of the scene and exaggerates the sense of speed, while a narrower angle shows a more natural picture. Features such as WDR (wide dynamic range) balance very bright and dark areas, DNR reduces noise and auto gain control adjusts the picture as the light changes. Low latency matters, because delay between what the camera sees and what you see makes flying harder.
Set the video standard (PAL or NTSC) to match your goggles, power the camera within its rated voltage range and mount it firmly so vibration does not blur the image. Tilt the camera up for fast, forward-pitched flying. Keep the lens clean and use a lens protector or ND filter where suitable.
