The Teledyne FLIR VUE-PRO-336-6.8MM-30HZ Thermal Imager for Drones (sUAS) is a high-performance thermal camera built for professional drone applications. With a compact design and a wide-angle 6.8mm lens, this imager captures 336 x 256 resolution thermal images at 30 Hz, providing clear, actionable visuals in real time. It records 14-bit still imagery and thermal video directly to an onboard microSD card, ensuring data integrity during flight operations.
Designed to seamlessly integrate with compatible flight control systems, the VUE-PRO can embed GPS and flight data into each captured image, making it ideal for mapping, inspections, and agricultural surveys. Users can control various camera functions mid-flight via PWM inputs or MAVLink, and analyze data post-flight using Teledyne FLIR Tools or the UAS mobile app for efficient mission planning and reporting.
