Walksnail Eclipse 009HD Thermal Camera Kit

Because reading thermal feeds that look like a 15fps slideshow through a microwave isn't cutting it for your night ops, Walksnail built the Eclipse 009HD. We've been gearing up UK FPV pilots at Unmanned Tech for a decade, and we know a gimmicky thermal sensor when we see one. This setup pairs the high-density Eclipse 009HD thermal imaging module with a ridiculous 4W Ascent GT Pro VTX. Expect sharp 960x768 resolution backed by Pixelpump-Gen3 processing at a fluid 50Hz. With dual-stream capability pushing simultaneous Walksnail Avatar digital HD video and raw UVC output, you'll spot heat signatures before the British drizzle inevitably forces a return-to-home.

Highlights

• Massive 4W Transmission: The Ascent GT Pro VTX delivers raw penetration power to punch through concrete, thick canopy, and miserable weather.
• Pixelpump-Gen3 Clarity: High-density 960x768 thermal rendering at 50Hz eliminates motion blur and slide-show delays.
• Dual Output Architecture: Transmit digital HD straight to your Avatar goggles while simultaneously pulling raw UVC video via USB.
• F1.0 Night Optics: Ultra-fast 9.1mm glass pulls max thermal contrast in pitch-black environments.

Why You Want It

Most FPV thermal solutions force you to compromise between blurry analog feeds or range that collapses behind a wet tree. The Eclipse 009HD kit fixes both problems. By locking a 50Hz thermal core to a high-power digital VTX, it gives you sub-35ms latency and crystal-clear thermal identification for search-and-rescue, commercial inspections, or dark-site reconnaissance.

FAQ

Can I output UVC data and transmit FPV video at the same time?

Yes. The Eclipse 009HD supports simultaneous video transmission through the Ascent VTX and live UVC output via USB to your ground station software.

How do I change color palettes and brightness settings?

Parameters can be adjusted on the fly using the included OSD keypad controller (ADKEY) or directly over the UVC software interface.
