This camera can be mounted on any drone, as it only weighs 36 grams. Higher resolution cameras are VERY expensive and much heavier which balloons the price of the drone also because you need a larger drone. This a a relatively slow and low resolution, however, this is a 'budget' camera. The thermal imaging camera has a resolution of 160x120, with a frame rate of 10fps. The FlirOne camera actually has two cameras a thermal imaging camera, and an HD (1440x1080) camera for mixing the thermal images with the background. The platform I chose is a quad copter that is 3-d printed and the printer files for this model are located here. The drone platform is arbitrary, as you could follow the instructions here to add thermal imaging to any drone, either copter or fixed-wing UAVs. This blog will describe how to add thermal imaging to your drone without breaking the bank! The above photo shows my drone with the thermal imaging camera, the FlirOne device, which is an inexpensive, lightweight thermal imaging camera designed for Android or IPhone devices.Ī flight test of this setup is shown here
