Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1, What cameras are compatible with this lens?

The lens fits cameras with 1/2.7” or smaller sensors and uses a standard M12 mount, commonly found in FPV drone cameras and security cameras. we have 0.001 lux low light CVBS camera that use and equip with this lens

 

2, How does the F1.0 aperture benefit low-light performance?

The large F1.0 aperture allows more light to enter the lens, resulting in brighter, clearer images with less noise in low-light or nighttime environments.

 

3, Is this lens suitable for drone applications?

Yes, its compact size and optimized low-light performance make it ideal for FPV drone camera modules, especially for night flying and inspection tasks.

 

4. What makes an F1.0 M12 lens ideal for night vision?

The F1.0 aperture collects more light than typical F2.0–F2.4 lenses, providing bright exposure in dark environments and improving image clarity for night FPV or starlight sensors.

 

5. Can this lens be used for FPV night flying?

Yes. It is designed for night FPV cameras and gives bright imaging even with minimal illumination.

 

6. Which sensors are compatible with this lens?

It supports 1/2.7" and 1/3" sensors such as IMX307, IMX327, IMX225, IMX323, OV2710, and many low-light CMOS sensors.

 

7. Does this lens support infrared or starlight imaging?

Yes. The optical elements include IR and AR coatings suitable for IR-assisted or starlight-level imaging.

 

8. Is the lens suitable for embedded camera modules?

Yes. It fits any M12 mount board camera used in FPV, night surveillance, low-light USB modules, and industrial AI boxes.

 

Typical application scenarios

1. FPV racing drone

High-speed flight requires clear and low-latency video transmission. The 2.8mm wide-angle and large aperture ensure that the pilot can react quickly between the track and obstacles.

Maintain a good field of view at night or in low-light tracks to reduce visual blind spots.

 

2. Night inspection and search drones

Tasks such as power lines and forestry fire patrols need to fly at night or in low-light environments. The excellent low-light performance of the lens greatly improves the inspection effect.

Suitable for applications such as environmental monitoring, emergency rescue and search.

 

3. Aerial photography and mapping drones

It is necessary to stably collect images in a variety of lighting environments, especially low-light environments at dawn and dusk.

Help aerial photographers capture clear images and improve the accuracy of mapping data.

 

 4. Security patrol drones

With night vision and infrared equipment, it supports all-weather security patrols and border monitoring.

 

Success Stories & Customer Testimonials

Case Study 1 – FPV Drone Racing in Germany

"Our FPV racing league in Berlin struggled with poor night visibility when holding events after sunset. By equipping our drones with the 110° 2.8mm F1.0 Night Vision M12 lens, we achieved clear, wide-angle vision under extremely low light. Pilots reported sharper obstacle awareness and smoother control. The lens’s low-distortion wide field of view gave us a competitive advantage, making night races safer and more exciting."
— Technical Director, German FPV Racing Association

 

Case Study 2 – Agricultural UAV Operations in the United States

"Our farm uses drones for crop inspection during early morning and late evening flights. The night vision M12 lens for FPV UAV allowed us to monitor irrigation lines and pest-affected areas without adding heavy external lights. Thanks to its F1.0 aperture and 110° coverage, we gained both wide situational awareness and detailed imaging in twilight conditions. This has saved us 20% in inspection costs compared to daytime-only flights."
— Farm Operations Manager, Iowa, USA

 

Case Study 3 – Search & Rescue UAV Deployment in France

"During a coastal rescue mission in Brittany, our UAV team operated at dusk with limited visibility. Equipped with the 110° 2.8mm F1.0 lens for FPV night cameras, the drone provided wide-angle situational awareness and reliable night vision for spotting stranded hikers. The lightweight M12 lens design ensured long flight endurance. This tool has become essential in our search & rescue UAV missions across Europe."
— UAV Program Coordinator, French Civil Protection Unit
