Phynan HD483 V3 - Walksnail GT

Phynan Vision FT483 is a compact thermal camera with AI box and Walksnail Avatar GT video transmitter designed for integration into drones with digital video transmission. The camera uses an 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 of 68,8° diagonally. The camera uses the thermal palette „white hot“, where warmer areas are white.

The camera is powered via the AI box with a voltage range of 9–24V. At the same time, the Walksnail Avatar GT video transmitter must also be powered. Thermal camera image transmission is supported only in 540p mode (Race mode). If the Walksnail system is set to 720p or 1080p, the camera data will not display correctly. 

The camera supports control and configuration via UART, allowing contrast, brightness, pseudocolors, shutter mode to be set, or the Hot Tracking function to be enabled. The manufacturer defines the command structure for advanced integration into flight controllers (see manual). The camera also includes an OSD menu, which is controlled via an external joystick.

The camera is 22 mm wide and has two M2 threads on the sides 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 by a MIPI cable. For easy mounting, the AI box has mounting holes with 20×20 mm M2 and 25,5×25,5 mm M2 spacing.

The cameras are intended for direct installation. They are therefore supplied in simple technical packaging without a design box.
