Its 1200TVL effective resolution, Super WDR, and a 2.1mm lens giving up to 165° field of view provide a wide, detailed perspective useful for tight courses and fast maneuvers. The camera's small 19×19mm footprint, 5.9g weight, wide voltage input and on-screen menu control make it straightforward to integrate into a range of micro and miniquad builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Ratel 2 perform in low-light and night flying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ratel 2 uses starlight technology paired with a large 1\/1.8\" sensor to capture more light per frame than typical micro FPV cameras, producing clearer images in low-illumination scenes. You’ll see improved detail and reduced noise when flying at dusk or under limited ambient light compared with standard CMOS micro cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStarlight sensor increases sensitivity for usable night visuals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/1.8\" sensor size captures more light than smaller sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTunable OSD settings let you optimize exposure and gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat image quality and field of view can I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 1200TVL effective resolution and Super WDR, the camera renders fine detail across scenes that include both bright highlights and deep shadows.
