Each product features FLIR Lepton, FLIR’s revolutionary thermal microcamera core, and FLIR’s patented multispectral dynamic imaging (MSX) technology, which dramatically improves image quality and readability by dynamically embossing high-fidelity, visible-light details onto the thermal imagery.

“These innovative new thermal imaging devices further extend the utility and value of low-cost thermal imaging into consumer and small business applications,” said FLIR president and CEO, Andy Teich. “Thermal imaging is more accessible than ever today thanks to our continued effort to make the technology smaller, more powerful and more affordable.”

FLIR Duo cameras for drones

The FLIR Duo is the drone industry’s first multi-sensor camera that features FLIR’s Lepton thermal microcamera core, a high-definition (HD) 1080p visible camera, and FLIR’s patented MSX technology.

The FLIR Duo offers versatile onboard recording to a micro SD card and real-time remote control of camera functions and can be mounted to any airframe capable of holding the most popular action cameras. Operators can switch between the FLIR Duo’s thermal and visible cameras in-flight or view both in a picture-in-picture mode. Priced at $999.99, the FLIR Duo is accessible to drone hobbyists and professionals alike.

The FLIR Duo R, priced at $1,299.99, adds accurate temperature measurement capabilities for commercial applications including agricultural, construction, civil engineering, building inspection, and public safety use cases.

Visit FLIR at CES 2017 in South Hall Four, booth #35706, for hands-on demonstrations of these and other FLIR products, including a FLIR Virtual Reality simulator to experience the invisible world of infrared. Updates and presentations from FLIR’s CES showcase are available at www.flir.com/ces2017.
