Axisflying 384×288 Thermal Imaging Camera for FPV Drones

Axisflying's 384 x 288 thermal camera is a compact uncooled long-wave infrared module with an analog CVBS output, so it feeds an analog VTX directly and shows a live heat image in standard FPV goggles or on a ground monitor. It suits search-and-rescue, building and electrical inspection and crop-stress scouting builds, day or night.

Key features

• VOx microbolometer: 12 micron pixel pitch, 8-14 micron band and a rated NETD of 40 mK or better for fine temperature contrast.

• 9.7 mm lens: a 26.46 x 19.81 degree field of view, much narrower than a wide-angle FPV camera, so fly it as a sensor camera alongside your main flight camera.

• Analog video: 720 x 576 CVBS at 25 Hz with 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x digital zoom.

• On-board processing: automatic, manual and background non-uniformity correction, 3D noise reduction, detail enhancement and white-hot, black-hot and colour palettes.

• Light and frugal: 23 g or less, drawing under 0.7 W.

Choose the Standard version for a finished drone, or the No Logo version, without Axisflying branding, when integrating the module into your own pod or product. Power it from a regulated 9 V or 12 V BEC within its 6-17 V range, and check that your goggles or monitor accept PAL video.
