Flir launches 5 new thermal cameras

Wilsonville, Or (USA)

Flir recently launched five new thermal imaging cameras at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), including two new third generation Flir One thermal camera attachments for smartphones, two new dual sensor thermal cameras for drones, and a ruggedised compact thermal camera for home and building inspectors.

All five products feature Flir Lepton, Flir's latest thermal microcamera core, and Flir's patented multispectral dynamic imaging (MSX) technology, which is designed to dramatically improve 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. We're excited to provide a thermal imaging 'sixth sense' with the third generation Flir One, Flir Duo for drones, and FLIR C3 camera for professional users."

In particular 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. The Flir Duo is accessible to drone hobbyists and professionals alike.

The FLIR Duo R adds accurate temperature measurement capabilities for commercial applications including agricultural, construction, civil engineering, building inspection, and public safety use cases. Both the FLIR Duo and Duo R are available right away.

The Flir C3 is a ruggedised, pocket-portable thermal camera for home inspectors, real estate professionals, general contractors, and other trade professionals who need a powerful diagnostic tool to quickly pinpoint hidden electrical, energy efficiency, or moisture issues. With a high brightness three-inch touchscreen, the Flir C3 includes Wifi connectivity to streamline image transfer while featuring higher thermal sensitivity and measurement capability for accurate temperature readings. The device also includes a new picture-in-picture function to enable better image comparison in the field. The FLIR C3 will be available in the first quarter of 2017.
