Phynan Vision FT483 is a compact thermal camera with AI box and Walksnail Avatar GT video transmitter designed for integration into smaller drones with analog image transmission. The camera uses a uncooled Vanadium Oxide sensor with a resolution of 400×300 pixels and a lens with a focal length of 7 mm. It offers a wide field of view 68.8° diagonally. The camera uses the thermal palette “white hot”, where warmer areas are white.
The camera is powered through the AI box with a voltage range of 9–24V. The Walksnail Avatar GT video transmitter must also be powered simultaneously with the camera. Image transmission from the thermal camera is supported only in the mode 540p (Race mode). When the Walksnail system is set to 720p or 1080p, the data from the camera will not display correctly.
The camera supports control and configuration via UART, allowing adjustments for contrast, brightness, pseudocolors, shutter mode, or enabling the Hot Tracking function. The manufacturer defines the command structure for advanced integration into flight controllers (see manual). The camera also includes an OSD menu, controlled via an external joystick.
The camera has a width of 22 mm and features two M2 threads with a spacing of 6 mm, making it compatible with mounts for classic Mini-sized analog cameras. The camera is connected to the AI box via a MIPI cable. For easy installation, the AI box has mounting holes with spacings of 20×20 mm M2 and 25.5×25.5 mm M2.
Cameras are designed for direct installation. They are supplied in simple technical packaging without a designer box.
