RunCam Phoenix 2 Nite Starlight FPV Camera

The RunCam Phoenix 2 Nite FPV Camera is what happens when a 1500TVL starlight FPV camera, a stubborn low-light analogue camera, and a pilot who refuses to land at sunset collide. Built around a 1/2.8” 2MP sensor and a starlight-tuned lens, the Phoenix 2 Nite delivers surprisingly clean night footage for freestyle, cruising, and cinematic FPV builds. While your mate is packing up because “it’s getting dark,” you’re still ripping tree gaps like it’s the DRL finals… just with slightly more crickets in the background.

Why You Want It

Most FPV cameras see darkness and immediately panic. The Phoenix 2 Nite doesn’t. Its starlight sensor and no-IR M12 lens pull detail out of shadows while 1500TVL resolution keeps the image crisp during daylight flights. As light drops, it automatically switches between colour and ultra-sensitive black & white mode, giving you usable visibility when typical cameras devolve into pixel soup.

Add upgraded noise reduction and high sensitivity (11390 mV/Lux-sec), and suddenly dusk flights look… well, intentional. Perfect for late-evening freestyle, night cruising, or those “one more pack” sessions that accidentally become ten.

And yes, it’s still analogue. Because sometimes the simplest tech just works. (Also, your wallet already survived a DJI upgrade once. Let’s not test its limits again.)

Specifications

• Screen Format: Switchable 16:9 / 4:3 (for pilots who argue about aspect ratios)
• Modes: B&W (Default) / Colour
• Sensitivity: 11390 mV/Lux-sec (aka “it’s basically night vision”)

• Menu Control: Joystick OSD Menu
• Input Voltage: DC 5–24V (plays nicely with most builds)
• Current Draw: 90mA@12V / 250mA@5V

• 1× RunCam Phoenix 2 Nite FPV Camera
• 1× 6-Pin FPV Silicone Cable
• 1× Menu Control Board (for OSD tweaking sessions)
• 1× Set of Mounting Screws
• 1× Manual

Features and Highlights

• Starlight Night Vision Sensor — Designed specifically for low-light FPV flying without turning your feed into abstract art.
• Automatic Colour / B&W Switching — When the sun disappears, visibility doesn’t.
• Advanced Noise Reduction — Cleans up grainy night footage so you can actually see that tree you almost hit.
• 1500TVL High Resolution — Crisp analogue detail for freestyle, racing, or cinematic builds.
• Universal 6-Pin RunCam Interface — Easy integration with most modern flight controllers.
• Micro 19mm Form Factor — Fits standard FPV frames without awkward mounting hacks.

Compatibility

The Phoenix 2 Nite works with most analogue FPV systems, including standard VTX setups and BetaFlight-based flight controllers. Its RunCam 6-pin 1.25 mm connector makes wiring painless—even if soldering still burns your fingers.

If you’ve ever watched Joshua Bardwell test night cameras and thought “yeah, I should definitely fly through trees in the dark,” this is the camera built for that exact questionable decision.

Disclaimer

Accessories may vary slightly—but the actual Phoenix 2 Nite camera inside the box will still be the one doing the night-flying magic.

Still Here?

You read the whole page. Respect. That means you’re probably searching for the best low-light analogue FPV camera for night flying and pretending it’s “for cinematic reasons.” Sure it is. Grab the Phoenix 2 Nite, go fly after sunset, and if your mates ask how you see anything—just mumble something about “starlight sensors” and send the link.
