Any way it would be cool to also have video and FPV at night while still flying within visual sight range.

dec said:best option would be IR lens on top of GoPro keeping the normal FPV . . .it wld show heat sources but the dreaded stick or limb (cool source) would probably create a audden ground incident. too bad FLIR doesnt make a GOPRO IR lens like they do for the iphone (androids soon) . . .have you seen that? I saw one in person last week - amazing technology for sure !!

The FLIR1 is a IR thermal detector that uses the iPhone for the display. I've seen FLIR in the cockpit in demo videos, but never in any airplane I flew. But the demo was amazing and you could fly virtually VFR in any obscured landing environment.dec said:did you see what FLIR has out now SteveMann ? (see link in my post . .thats what Im referring too)
