FLIR Duo: the drones are finally entitled to their hot cam action

FLIR Duo: the drones are finally entitled to their hot cam action

FLIR is a recognized actor in the field of thermal images. We can also find its cameras on industrial devices and on the iPhone. Its collaboration with the airline industry goes back more than 20 years and recently, it has also designed products adapted to the drones.
For example, the Zenmuse XT is the result of a partnership with DJI. The American firm continues its momentum and proposes a camera for the smaller devices, the Duo.

FLIR targets a wider audience

Compared to the models launched by the American manufacturer, Duo costs less. It is offered at $ 999 while the basic version of Vue is $ 1,500. The camera combines a thermal image of 160 x 120 with a standard 2-megapixel sensor. Thus, the user will not have to choose between the two formats, Duo manages to manage them simultaneously.
In addition to its dual lens configuration, this product looks much like a GoPro. This design is explained by the desire to facilitate the compatibility with the maximum of drones present on the market. Yet DJI aircraft, the industry leader, already have an integrated camera. Since FLIR and the Chinese firm have already worked together, they will find an appropriate solution.
