The Caddx Ratel2 Analog Camera is a powerful 1200TVL analog FPV camera designed for racing, freestyle and cinematic FPV drones. It combines a high-quality 1/1.8-inch image sensor with Starlight low-light performance and Super WDR to deliver clear and detailed video across different flying conditions. Its compact design makes it suitable for a wide range of FPV drone builds.
The Ratel2 is designed for pilots who want reliable analog FPV video with good image quality, a wide field of view and flexible configuration options. It supports both NTSC and PAL video systems as well as 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios, allowing it to work with different analog FPV setups.
The Caddx Ratel2 Analog Camera provides up to 1200TVL horizontal resolution, giving FPV pilots a detailed and responsive view during flight. Clear video is particularly important during racing and freestyle flying, where pilots need to identify gates, obstacles and changes in terrain quickly.
The 1/1.8-inch image sensor provides a good balance between image detail and compact camera size. This makes the camera suitable for installation in many standard FPV frames and camera mounts.
One of the major advantages of the Ratel2 is its Starlight low-light capability. The camera is designed to maintain useful image quality when lighting conditions become challenging, making it suitable for flights during evenings, shaded areas and other lower-light environments.
The camera also features Super WDR technology, which helps improve image visibility when a scene contains both very bright and darker areas. This can be especially useful when flying outdoors under changing sunlight and shadows.
The Caddx Ratel2 Analog Camera offers 165° and 160° field-of-view options, giving pilots a broad perspective during flight. A wide field of view can improve situational awareness and help pilots judge their surroundings during fast movements and freestyle manoeuvres.
The wider perspective is particularly useful for freestyle pilots who perform rolls, flips, dives and other dynamic movements. It can also help provide a better view of the flight path during general FPV flying.
The Ratel2 supports both NTSC and PAL video systems, providing flexibility when connecting it to different analog FPV equipment. It also supports both 16:9 and 4:3 image formats.
Before installation, make sure the camera configuration matches your video transmitter and FPV goggles. Using compatible video settings helps ensure that the transmitted image is displayed correctly.
The camera supports a 4.5V–36V DC input range, making it suitable for a variety of FPV drone power configurations. This wide operating range allows the camera to be integrated into different builds when the appropriate power connection is provided.
Always check the wiring and voltage supplied by your flight controller or power system before connecting the camera.
The compact 19 × 19mm camera format makes the Ratel2 suitable for many FPV frames and camera mounts. Its small footprint allows it to be installed in builds where available space is limited.
The compact design is useful for racing drones, freestyle quads and other FPV platforms where keeping electronics lightweight and organized is important.
The Caddx Ratel2 Analog Camera is suitable for both racing and freestyle FPV applications. Racing pilots can benefit from its responsive analog video and wide viewing angle, while freestyle pilots can take advantage of its detailed image and low-light performance.
The camera can also be used for general FPV flying, making it a versatile option for pilots who prefer analog video systems.
Super WDR helps the camera handle scenes with significant differences between bright and dark areas. This is useful when flying through areas with strong sunlight, shadows or other challenging lighting conditions.
By improving the camera's ability to capture usable details across different exposure levels, WDR can provide a more consistent FPV image during outdoor flights.
The Ratel2 can be integrated into compatible analog FPV systems using the appropriate camera wiring and video transmitter. Its compact dimensions and wide voltage range make it convenient for a variety of drone configurations.
When installing the camera, secure it firmly to the frame and ensure that the mounting hardware is properly tightened. Correct installation can help reduce unwanted movement and vibration during flight.
The Caddx Ratel2 Analog Camera is an excellent choice for FPV pilots looking for a high-resolution analog camera with strong low-light performance and flexible configuration options. Its 1200TVL resolution, Starlight technology, Super WDR, wide field of view and compact 19mm design make it suitable for a wide range of FPV drone builds.
Whether you are replacing an existing camera or building a new racing or freestyle quad, the Ratel2 provides a reliable analog FPV video solution. Before purchasing, verify the camera's voltage, mounting dimensions, video system and connector compatibility with your FPV electronics.
For best results, pair the Caddx Ratel2 Analog Camera with a compatible analog VTX and properly configured FPV goggles.
