Actually, except for the Duo (which uses the low-res Lepton sensor) all of the FLIR cameras (Vue, Vue Pro, Vue Pro R, Duo Pro R) use the same Tau 2 sensor as the XT, and come in 336 or 640 resolutions. To say that they’re not as sensitive as the XT simply isn’t true — they’r’e the same camera...

As Advexure said, DJI was at Interdrone...just in a different capacity than before. Stephanie was in our booth for a few hours on Wednesday, for example. I don't remember them having a booth at Interdrone last year, either. Trade shows are funny animals. They're expensive to attend, and it's...

Passed mine yesterday with a 97 (missed 2). BUT, I'm an ATP, former CFI-I/MEI and airline pilot so lots of the material was old hat...just had to scrape the dust off my test-taking skills. What surprised me a ton was the focus on ADM and CRM that just wasn't part of the curriculum when I was...

I'm not on that project so I don't know much more than anyone else (the implementation is being done by DJI, not FLIR), but the XT systems I saw at IDE did have center spot measurements. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sure, I see your point. If you need to be able to provide reports, then you need radiometric data. What I'm saying is that there are lots of uses for drone-based thermal cameras that don't entail reporting -- even predictive maintenance type applications. Solar panel inspection, for example, you...

The version I saw was pre-release so I'm not sure about the final implementation, but isotherms were included in what I got to play with at IDE. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd be interested to know why you feel that way. I've worked in the IR biz for coming up on 20 years and can think of lots of applications where qualitative scans would be quite useful for eliminating large areas, or areas with lots of components, quickly. BTW, the XT uses a Tau. Sent from...

I've worked in the IR industry for about 20 years, and the explanation I've heard most consistently is that 9 Hz is below the threshold required to guide munitions or use in targeting. FWIW... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Very sorry for your loss. I'm new here...just been lurking a while. Having been a DIY multirotor guy for about six years, I'm not overly familiar with DJI's RTF airframes so there could be some DJI-specific stuff I'm not familiar with. That having been said, whenever I've seen an ESC or motor...
