Moving out of the near IR from the last post, we go into the far infrared. This is footage shot with a 40g, uncooled, 8-14um spectral band camera. Half the size of a GoPro and perfect for mounting on a small flying machine!

Guy, you are correct. This is the Tamarisk 320 from the top notch folks at DRS Technologies.
Kirill: Not for long. Stay tuned...
The only downside for this, otherwise magnificent, camera - is the price of at least $4000... Which leaves all of us, hobbyists, on the outer lane of this incredible technology highway...
Perfect for Fire and SAR applications!
The FLIR uncooled camera cores are perfect for FPV and are available for four figures. I've seen ones with similar specs as above for $4K, although the price varies greatly by model and supplier.
These cameras are great for back-country search and rescue; hopefully more of these will get out there.
These guys have been using FLIR cameras on their multicopters for a while and have several good, if a little campy, videos.
Chris, the office heat signature is not the same without you.
Monroe, heck yes man, please share that with all of us.
@Jesse - unfortunately there's still 4 digits before the decimal point.
@Blusky - let us know if you have a ~$1000 FLIR!
@Monroe - It's not concrete yet, we're working it.
@Chris - There was sorrow but giddiness while unboxing....safe travels!
Aw, my chair is all cold and dark :-( (I'm travelling). Miss you guys!
Here is some more details on the specs:
This isn't going to be unobtanium, you know 3DR is about real-world approachable tech.
