I love the audio track with the flight footage

[@TRONCATFPV]

Sounds Around (Instrumental) - Andriy Mashtalir 😉

[@andyhoughtaling6319]

Can't wait to grab one of these. I absolutely love night flying. I run a polar right now but this is a whole new level. Goodbye color. Hello visibility.

[@unRealityFPV]

when the polar can't see you know it's REALLY dark

[@RinksRides]

Dope camera, great addition for SAR. Also 7:12 is prob about the most awesome FPV i've seen yet with the mini reindeer up front!

[@marvinrainwater6526]

Finished the build. Same frame, camera and flood. I have a tremendous amount of jello though, more when flying slow than when cruising with speed.

[@ChainsawFPV]

This would be awesome for caves and tunnels.

[@TRONCATFPV]

Yes!
The only thing I would worry about is video penetration/range. That would be sick though

[@ChainsawFPV]

@@TRONCATFPV I was thinking the signal may "bounce" down a tunnel, but it may just absorb it. Would be fun to try tho!

[@swerve_smashTTV]

Can help me with a design of mine using this camera?
I'm don't use FPV drones but I live stream airsoft and want this camera to transmit NVG gameplay videos to a receiver that connects to a livestreaming tablet via hsmi/usb. I also have a 3D printer for housing construction.
Is this also usable during daytime?
What's your recommendation for IR cameras (1080p 30fps preferred), battery (20hr life) and transmitter/receivers? Any other thoughts?

[@alanhobbs4879]

Nice video! I really want to get one of these cameras and hopefully use it for SAR, too.

[@maddercat]

wow! flying at night in the snow?? sick man, don't think I've ever seen that before.

[@drdrhelmut]

Awesome man, that looks fun!

[@YorkyPoo_UAV]

I think removing the IR filter from the polar might make the comparison pretty close. I'd rather buy a new camera than remove that glass IR filter that is glued down. Pretty much have to break it to remove it.

[@gregorydahl]

I have the new ratel pro . Analog walksnail camera . It makes blue sky and the ground light up like a ball park lght was on . 0.00001 lumen min
It does go black and white sort of .

[@nilotheking]

I just posted a similar video and glad to see someone else thought to attach ir light to the night eagle HD, i was able to power my ir with the cinebot30 fc 5v output and fly with 1100 HV to be super lightweight

[@TRONCATFPV]

Love the IR flashlight you modded on that thing, nice setup 🙌

[@nilotheking]

@@TRONCATFPV thank youu! night flying is so fun lol

[@user-ht2qv2nx2h]

Can we use this camera with a dji air unit or a vista, or we only have to use it with the link from runcam?

[@TRONCATFPV]

the Runcam link and the air unit/Vista are the same unit. This cam will work with any of em 👌

[@rogerchristeson]

How did you get that light to mount on the frame?

[@slowvoltage]

Would this be totally washed out if used in the day time? Would love to explore into dark spots from daytime. B/w is what's up!

[@TRONCATFPV]

During the daytime its actually quite good! Just is in black and white lol

[@marcelOberauer]

How man led lights it has in the front?

[@moviefalk177]

nice video,Can I use this Camera with my Eachine 800DM goggles? thx

[@Drexfpv03]

this could make for some sick ass videos honestly, And pretty sure that IR light on the pole is also a camera

[@TRONCATFPV]

It is! Went there today to check it out during daylight and they are security cameras.
I’d love to see footage from that camera of my drone flying around at night with the IR LED lol.

[@Drexfpv03]

Hahaha yea that would be hilarious all they would see is a Flying bright ass orb

[@kurtzFPV]

Probably posted on another RUclips channel showing Unexplained White Orbs Emerging from the Woods!

[@Drexfpv03]

@@kurtzFPV lmfao exactly

[@Braincho]

Great Videos!

[@alfredoramirez-uw5ub]

Any way or recommendation to put one of those things inside a oil well?

[@dennismatovich8411]

Nice setup! Would be cool to see if the polar is any better with the ir light used.

[@robknight9406]

won't see any difference unless you can remove the IR filter
I've seen CCTV cameras that malfunctioned & the filter gets stuck - sunlight produces a pink tinge during the day, at night would probably go more to magenta

[@TRONCATFPV]

Yea in the side by side comparison you can see how the Infrared light on the nearby security cameras is seen in the night eagle but not the polar. You could attempt to remove the IR filter but I have no idea how that would affect the overall image.
To @robknight9406's point, on the analog night eagle there is a pink/purple hue so you would probably notice similar colors.

[@Fixed4ever]

I know it wasn’t part of this test but in your experience how does it compare to the Analog night camera. I know there will be caveats with the lower resolution and potential mutipathing from analog.

[@TRONCATFPV]

I prefer this one to the analog night eagle. The analog has a pinkish hue during the daytime since its in color (you could always change it to BW to counter this). It also does have a very noticeable fisheye warp that I haven't seen on other cameras.

[@NeoFlowFPV]

i have 1 of these units but my OG dji cam doesnt work or my nebula? i get a black screen

[@OrdinaryGothic]

Is this compatible with a walksnail vrx?

[@SwainixFPV]

It's a DJI vtx so no

[@OrdinaryGothic]

Thank you. I just invest in walksnail but There HD pro although great in low light doe snot seem as impressive as this camera, I assume you can not just swap the camera to a walk snail VTC correct, otherwise Runcam would have offered this option?@@SwainixFPV

[@TRONCATFPV]

This camera is only compatible with DJI gear unfortunately. Would love to see some similar low light cameras come out for walksnail

[@DannyFPV7]

Q. How did you get your battery voltage to show in your DJI OSD?

[@TRONCATFPV]

I'm using Goggles 2 with this setup and have OSD preset turned on in betaflight 👍

[@user-yi8np6wb5k]

No color in the day ?

[@davidlee50]

If it is on and you look at it, it could harm you?

[@janiv3987]

Could you just replace DJI Avata camera with this one?

[@bumtroll1]

Super nice i just dont see my self buying something like this.

[@SlavicAnts]

I want to Connect this camera directly to my phone and make night vision googles does anyone know how to do that?

[@PitPwny]

Look up pvs-69. It’s very easy to hook one of these cameras to a small dc powered display. If you have a 3d printer you can print a housing and make a nvg unit. I have a couple test videos on my channel.

[@peter360adventures9]

Awesome.

[@KeYStonEKnighT]

Is this flyable during daylight too?

[@antonkarabeinikov]

How this camera behave in regular sunny day, is it flyeble??

[@TRONCATFPV]

yup! the image looks great, its just in black and white

[@kenmedina3527]

Are you running this on the DJI goggles? If so, which ones?

[@TRONCATFPV]

DJI goggles 2 👍

[@cold-frontin_penguin7902]

This have an analog version?

[@alanhobbs4879]

Why not just use a flashlight with the Polar instead of an ir light with the Night Eagle?

[@TRONCATFPV]

With the IR/Night eagle setup you will see much better and don't have to get a super bright LED on your drone. If you're filming at night a conventional LED could ruin the exposure of the footage whereas an IR light won't affect natural lighting at all

[@alanhobbs4879]

@TRONCATFPV Interesting. I've been wondering what the difference would look like, particularly in fog. Can you do a comparison video between the two using equivalently powered light sources?

[@VladFPV_lofoten]

why not night analog?

[@TRONCATFPV]

They sell an analog version of this cam too 👍

[@Bhuvana_vishal_vlogs]

Anyone know the audio track @ 4:07 ?
