Caddx Eclipse 005SL Dual FPV Thermal Camera

Admit it: you’ve always wanted to see the world in thermal ever since you saw Arnold Schwarzenegger hide in the mud. The Caddx Eclipse 005SL Dual FT-D004A-V3 is a groundbreaking dual-lens FPV camera engineered to give pilots a true tactical edge. This hybrid FPV thermal camera splits the line between professional industrial drone thermal imaging and hardcore FPV lore, allowing you to switch seamlessly between a standard visible-light sensor and a live thermal feed mid-flight. Whether you are running low-altitude search and rescue, hunting down a lost quad buried deep in the tall grass, or auditing your home's insulation because UK energy bills are utterly terrifying, this compact unit delivers. Backed by our 10 years of experience in the manufacturing and delivery of commercial FPV systems across the UK, we make sure you can tap into a real-time digital stream or a low-latency analog thermal camera layout without the usual engineering headaches.

Key Highlights

• Switchable Dual-Mode Imaging: Toggle instantly between standard visible light and a high-contrast thermal view mid-air via your radio controller.
• Dual Analog & Digital Output: Natively outputs a standard low-latency PAL composite signal alongside a UVC digital stream for effortless integration.
• Zero-Distraction Layout: Built with no integrated OSD firmware, leaving your screen clean and keeping your flight controller in absolute command.

Why You Want It

Most traditional FPV video cameras just show you the exact tree branch you are about to obliterate. The Caddx Eclipse 005SL shows you the thermal signature of the squirrel living inside that tree. Built to be more flexible than a yoga instructor, it handles dual video formats simultaneously so you can feed a low-latency video transmitter for real-time piloting while logging digital telemetry to an onboard companion computer. It is lean, clean, and completely mean—exactly how your multirotor build would look if you finally stopped adding unnecessary 3D-printed TPU parts to it. By avoiding heavy, overpriced enterprise housing, Caddx puts dual-lens thermal switching directly onto standard FPV mounting footprints.

FAQ

Can I switch between the thermal and visible light cameras while flying?

Yes. The dual-mode architecture allows you to map a toggle command directly through your flight controller, giving you the ability to swap between infrared tracking and raw optical video feeds in mid-air.

Does this camera feature a built-in battery voltage OSD?

No. This camera strips out internal OSD bloat to protect signal latency. All battery monitoring, timers, and telemetry data should be overlaid directly by your flight controller's Betaflight or ArduPilot OSD engine.

Still Here?

You are either an absolute spec-nerd who reads the entire manual before buying or a search engine scraper trying to figure out how to write better copy than us. Either way, stop overthinking the build. Your quad needs an upgrade, you need to see in the dark, and we need to keep the warehouse lights turned on.
