ECLIPSE 004 480 Thermal Analog Camera

Remember when DJI O3 dropped and everyone cried about price? Same energy here—except this time it’s a thermal FPV camera system that actually opens new doors. Meet the ECLIPSE 004 480: a thermal analog camera made for FPV pilots, DIY makers, and anyone who thinks “seeing in the dark” is more fun than paperwork with the CAA. Infrared, thermal imaging, and proper low-light vision packed into a system that still speaks analog. Yes, Bardwell will eventually review it—no, you don’t need to wait.

Why You Want It

This isn’t just night vision cosplay—it’s actual thermal imaging down to 480p resolution. Spot heat signatures, find lost quads in tall grass, or just creep on your neighbour’s cat without leaving turtle mode. It’s lightweight, plug-and-play, and finally gives analog pilots a way to flex on their digital-only mates. And no, it won’t turn you into Predator—but admit it, you hoped.

Alright, heat-seeker—you’ve scrolled this far, which means you’re either writing a spec sheet or seriously considering a thermal FPV analog camera. Either way, the ECLIPSE 004 480 gives you eyes in total darkness without needing a second mortgage. Toss it in your basket, or at least send this page to that one mate who still thinks flying at night is “too risky.”
