RunCam Eagle3 Camera

The RunCam Night Eagle 3 is a professional-grade analog FPV camera designed specifically for ultra-low-light and night-time flying. It features a high-sensitivity 1/2.8” 2MP Starlight CMOS sensor that delivers a clear, high-resolution 1000TVL black-and-white picture. Unlike standard cameras that struggle in the dark, the Night Eagle 3 excels by capturing details in environments where other sensors would only show a black screen.

This camera is the definitive choice for pilots who refuse to let the sun dictate their flight schedule. It maintains a compact micro-size 19x19mm form factor, making it an easy swap into most modern drone frames. With a massive sensitivity rating of 11390 mV/Lux-sec, it provides a “night vision” effect that is essential for navigating obstacles during midnight sessions. It also features a built-in OSD to monitor your battery voltage and flight time in real-time.

Key Features

The Night Eagle 3 offers incredible flexibility for any pilot’s preferences. It supports a switchable 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio, ensuring compatibility with various FPV goggles. Additionally, the signal system is switchable between PAL and NTSC. The camera includes a 5D-OSD menu cable, allowing you to fine-tune settings like image mirroring or flipping for inverted mounting.

Durability is ensured by the robust ABS housing, which keeps the net weight at a mere 8.5g. The wide power input range of DC 5-24V allows you to power the camera directly from a flight controller or a 2S-5S LiPo battery. Because it uses a standard 6-pin silicone cable, integration into your existing video transmitter (VTX) setup is simple and secure.

Applications

The RunCam Night Eagle 3 is the top choice for Night-Time FPV Exploration and long-range surveillance. It is widely used in Search and Rescue operations where visibility in the dark is a critical requirement. Industrial Inspection teams use it to check dark structures or tunnels without needing external lighting. For Freestyle pilots, it extends flying hours into the “blue hour” and beyond. Furthermore, it is a vital tool for Agricultural Monitoring at dusk or dawn. Finally, its low latency and high resolution make it an excellent choice for Tactical UAVs requiring reliable black-and-white night vision.
