Caddx Eclipse 005SL Thermal Camera

When you are freezing on a rain-slicked hillside trying to complete a commercial utility survey before your flight batteries tank, you do not have time to guess whether that thermal signature is a critical component failure or a stray badger. The Caddx Eclipse 005SL sets a new benchmark for industrial drone thermal imaging setups by utilizing a specialized 576x432 Pixelpump-Gen3 technology core. This advanced processing architecture dramatically sharpens edge detail and maximizes thermal contrast, giving commercial operators clean 50Hz image smoothness. Engineered for demanding B2B drone operations, this versatile dual video interface camera simultaneously outputs a low-latency PAL analog signal and a UVC digital stream. Backed by our 10 years of experience in manufacturing and delivering commercial FPV systems across the UK, we ensure your critical commercial payloads deploy seamlessly, eliminating typical integration headaches before they ground your mission.

Key Highlights

• Pixelpump-Gen3 Technology: Drastically increases thermal detail clarity and sharpens object edges while dynamically filtering out high-frequency drone vibration blur in real time.
• Dual Video Interface: Eliminates payload compromise by natively supporting simultaneous PAL analog output for low-latency piloting and a UVC digital stream for secondary data recording.
• 1.0-4.0x Stepless Zoom: Offers smooth, granular digital magnification directly controllable via the UVC protocol, allowing safe operational standoff distance during industrial inspections.

Why You Want It

Navigating civil aviation regulations and client demands is exhausting enough without fighting your own hardware. The Caddx Eclipse 005SL resolves the classic multi-payload dilemma by acting as both a live piloting feed and a digital logging device simultaneously. Its F1.0 optics paired with a fixed 5.1mm focal length provide a wide 56° horizontal field of view, making short-range structural screening and agricultural mapping highly efficient. Complete with an integrated OSD customization menu and ADKEY board control, field technicians can adjust color palettes (0-4 choices) and contrast limits on-site without hauling a proprietary software engineering terminal into the mud.

FAQ

Can I use the analog and digital video outputs at the exact same time?

Yes. The internal processor handles simultaneous PAL analog streaming to your standard video transmitter alongside a UVC digital video stream via USB. This means you can pilot the aircraft with zero-latency analog goggles while recording high-fidelity digital telemetry to an onboard logger or single-board computer.

Does this camera require an external voltage regulator to run?

Generally no. With an operating input range of 4.5V to 20V, you can power it safely off a standard 5V or 9V flight controller BEC, or directly from a low-voltage battery step. Just keep it under 20V to avoid releasing the expensive factory smoke.

Disclaimer

Do not point the 5.1mm lens directly at the sun, high-intensity industrial welding arcs, or thermal calibration lasers. Exposing the core to excessive radiation densities will permanently burn out the Pixelpump sensor array. Sun-damaged units are structurally excluded from manufacturer warranty support.

Still Here?

Your commercial clients aren't paying you to guess where structural defects are, and the CAA isn't going to sign off on your operational authorization if your gear is held together by hope. The Caddx Eclipse 005SL draws less than 1.5W, handles freezing -20°C environments, and is stocked right here at our UK facility. Grab yours today so we can keep our warehouse lights on.
