Caddx 384CA Thermal Imager by CADDXFPV

The Caddx 384CA thermal imager is a professional module for FPV drones from the CADDXFPV brand, designed for industrial and amateur applications: search and rescue operations, inspections, night flights, and other missions requiring reliable thermal imaging. The device combines compact size, energy efficiency, and a high frame rate for stable and smooth thermal image transmission.

Key Advantages

• Uncooled vanadium oxide detector — provides high-quality thermal imaging with a resolution of 384×288 pixels.
• High frame rate — 50 Hz ensures smooth imagery in dynamic flight conditions.
• Wide operating temperature range — the camera operates at temperatures from -20°C to +60°C, allowing its use in various climatic conditions.
• Compactness and low weight — dimensions of 27×37×49.8 mm (the comparison table also states 27×37×40 mm) and a weight of 73.5 g (the table mentions 74.0 g), simplifying integration into various platforms without significantly increasing the device's mass.
• Low power consumption — up to 1.5 W, extending flight time without frequent recharges.
