I got my hands on a small thermal imaging camera for testing purposes.

I installed it on my hexacopter and took it out for a flight this evening.

Ttechnical data:

resolution: 384 x 288

50 Hz

8 - 14 um spectral range

analog video out

uncooled sensor

I am looking forward to test the new model (second version), which has double the resolution and false-color

camera, small, thermal

I don't know the price of this camera - I got it (from MIB Electronic in Germany) to test it in flight on a multicopter (I am very interested in the application of thermal imaging cameras for SAR).

If you would like further details on the camera, PM me and I will send you the contact details of somebody from the company

Incredible for a civilian to have access to that framerate. Obviously not for sale, because that would be illegal. The 9fps limit is still a restriction they're serious about enforcing.

What was the cost of the camera ?

Yes - the black area on the roof is a PV panel.

It was not flown at night, it was evening - during sunset.

The camera is from MIB Electronics.

Great video Felix,

Very good results.

Can you share make and model of thermal camera?

Were the black areas on the roof PV panels?

I take it this was flown at night?

Best Regards,

Gary
