Caddx Ratel 2 Black Camera for FPV Drone

The Caddx Ratel 2 HDR Starlight 1200TVL FPV camera from CADDXFPV is a professional video module for racing and freestyle drones, designed for maximum image clarity in challenging lighting conditions. The Ratel 2 combines a large 1/1.8-inch CMOS Starlight sensor and super-WDR (HDR) technology, providing high dynamic range, contrast, and detail in both bright and dark areas of the frame. With exceptional 0.0001 lux sensitivity, this camera is ideal for night flights and low-light shooting.

Brief Overview of Features

The model supports NTSC/PAL TV system switching and 16:9 / 4:3 aspect ratios, has a built-in OSD menu for fine-tuning during flight, and demonstrates low signal latency — approximately 8 ms, which is critical for precise control in FPV mode. Video output is in CVBS format, with Day/Night modes available with automatic switching, color mode, black and white mode, and external (EXT) mode control.
