Hi all
In my spare time i like to fly drones and hiking in nature, and documenting my experiences with video. I have
just about every micro video camera commercialy available, and for some time a thermal camera was just
about the only camera i was missing in my collection.
As i am sure you all know there can be some obstacles in getting a hold of theese things:
Price
wassenaar/itar
picture quality/price
For what i would like to do there are a couple of problems more, i would like to have thermal core (Max weight
100 gr. ) that delivrers analog video out, runs on 6-12 volt (to mount it in a cradle, like in the picture, replacing
the cmos camera with a thermal core ) and is interchangable (so i can remove the thermal core and put it in a
wildlife camera type housing)
I have been looking around and found :
seek thermal, flir one and i3thermal expert (weight okay) but all of theese cameras only delivres direct video
out through a rasberry or similar. i would like to avoid any more wires and print boards, as theese drones have
more than enough
Flytron : Drone thermal v3 micro uav thermal camera (weight okay, has DVO) But 80x60 pixels for £299
?
I asked I3thermal expert for a quote on the TE-EQ1 core - but they wanted over 2500$ plus about 30% import
charge
and i of course looked at Flir products but they are not excatly cheap either.
So my question now is - are there any preferbly european suppliers i have missed ? that have thermal cores
with the above mentioned specs. or (and moderator, if this is a violation of EEV´s rules - i wil delete)does any of
you guys have any thermal cores lying around that they would like to sell - please PM me or write in this tread
Regards
Jan
