Introducing FLIR Vue™ Pro
Take drone thermal imaging and data recording to the new heights with Vue Pro
With FLIR Vue™ you get all the thermal imager you need for sUAS operations without having to pay for functionality you'll never use.
Designed for professional use, FLIR Vue Pro is more than a thermal camera, it is a thermal measurement instrument and data recorder that adds tremendous value to your sUAS operations and services.
Still with the same industry-leading thermal imaging quality and great value as the best-selling FLIR Vue, the Vue Pro adds full data recording of thermal video and 14-bit still imagery. FLIR Vue Pro also uses FLIR Vue's popular and convenient power-in/video-out connection over a 10-pin mini-USB making integration a snap, and ensuring that you'll have easy access to analog video for downlinking.
FLIR Vue Pro gives you in-flight control of two camera functions through direct PWM connections, and it's MAVLink compatibility makes it ready for the easy image stitching required for mapping, survey, and precision agriculture applications. Plus, it's compatible with Pix4Dmapper right out of the box
The convenient mobile app makes pre-flight camera set-up and configuration quick and easy so you won't have to drag a computer out to your flying site just in case you need to change a camera setting.
Best of all, with MSRPs starting at only $1,999, FLIR Vue Pro is the only thermal imager your drone operations will ever need, and it's affordable for today's commercial sUAS operations.
FLIR Vue Pro gives you more than thermal images, it gives you thermal data for informed decisions.
On-Board Recording
Vue Pro records 8-bit digital video in MJPEG or H.264 formats and 14-bit still imagery to a removable micro-SD card so you won’t lose any of your data to transmission loss. Imagery is saved to the micro-SD card and can be retrieved either from the card or by plugging the camera into a USB cable, where your computer will see it as a storage device.
MAVLink Integration & Camera Control
In addition to being MAVLink compatible, the same Accessory Port connection gives you access to two camera controls over PWM commands, so you can select color palettes, start and stop recording, or trigger the camera's e-zoom in-flight from your radio controller.
Easy to Configure
Vue Pro comes with a built-in, low-power Bluetooth module, so you can easily configure your camera with our custom iOS or Android apps before you take off. Change color palettes, set your image optimization features, configure your PWM inputs, and start recording all without lugging a computer to the field.
Applications
With the same powerful thermal imaging core used in the most popular cameras in the world, FLIR Vue Pro gives expanded flexibility and performance for a price that makes it perfect for applications like:
- Search and rescue
- Precision agriculture
- Roof inspections
- Power line inspections
- Substation inspections
- Cell tower inspections
- Security
- Surveying
- And anything else you can dream up
Comments
Great news. One thing that isn't immediately clear to me is the possibility of color in real time. Can the Vue Pro be configured to output colors (for different LUTs/temperature color palettes) straight out or would that be available only in post?
hipping Date: November (should find a buyer for my 336)
@Ronald I agree you can also setup the Vue Pro via Bluetooth on your Smartphone too
Imagery being transmitted via Video link is always a problem if you loose signal.
@Ravi - I agree
Bought my Vue mine here direct from the FLIR Shop and they shipped very quickly from Golan,CA
Bluetooth Setup
As a result of the FLIR Vue Pro's Bluetooth interface with a custom app available for iOS and Android devices, camera set-up is easy for both professionals and hobbyists. Through the FLIR Vue Pro app, operators can configure functions to ensure the best imagery possible for their conditions without having to connect the camera to a computer.
The Accessory Port gives users direct control of camera functions like changing the image’s color palettes, starting and stopping recording, and the camera’s e-zoom, making the Vue Pro much more flexible and capable of adapting to mission requirements in flight. With MAVLink compatibility, the FLIR Vue Pro interfaces easily with the standard flight control systems used for mapping, survey, and precision agriculture missions. It can be configured to automatically capture images and annotate each image with the aircraft’s position and other critical flight information.
These images are then instantly compatible with leading imaging stitching and orthomosaic-creation software like Pix4Dmapper.
the last missing link
This is a great improvement over the older FLIR Vue. We had to plug the analog output into a video capture card and then into a DVR. That was a lot of extra equipment to carry, and the imagery was degraded.
