You want to do thermal imaging? You would need a special camera to do that. Phones don't have the right kind of camera. (Or do the new ones do?) Sorry to disappoint you but just trying to help.

So what's wrong with the Flir Vue Pro 640 for filming coyotes at night ?

You using your phone for thermal imaging? Just saying that I don't think a phone will work but if you have a special camera.

A Flir Vue Pro is a thermal camera not a cell phone.

I have 2 phantom 4 drones and 1 other drone.

I have 3 cell phones

I have 1 Flir Vue Pro 640 thermal Camera.

1 cellphone I use with Therm-app. This one I connected to one of my phantom 4's last night worked great

Now I'm looking into the best way to connect my Flir Vue to one of my other drones.

you said before you were trying to attach you phone so i thought it was the one for thermal.

Trying to attach a phone to my phantom 4.

what is the 1 other drone? you may be able to mount it to it.

 

[TonyT310]

Mavic.
Serious feel like I'm in twilight zone. I see all this drone footage using the Flir Vue then I order one and can't anywhere to buy a mount. Did find a great mount in the Netherlands hold on will look for his YouTube

Yes, like I said before you would have to modify the shell a bit. I now see what you want to do. The mount you bought could be mounted one by modifying the shell.

Forget that video. Here's what I ordered no modifications necessary

Forget that video. I ordered this, no modifi cations

Make sure you disable the VPS system if you want to fly with that.

 

[TonyT310]

I will Google VPS but maybe you could elaborate thank you

VPS = Vision Positioning System - the downward facing sensors under your Phantom.
If you mount something that blocks their downward view, they are going to act up and possibly cause trouble.

Here's one way to disable them:

Got it , thanks but I'm actually replacing the existing. Phantom 4 camera with the Flir Vue , actually emailed the guy after my comment because it was an earlier option.
I did come up with this sweet set up for my camera,

1. The camera has nothing to do with VPS. Check the docs.
2. Given that FLIR mainly picks up heat signatures, aren't you asking for trouble flying at night without a regular camera? Even the cops use both for tracking at night.

When he mounts the camera on the back (if he dose) it will block the VPS, so therefore, the drone would get confused.

I know that, but his comment seemed to imply that VPS relies on the camera itself.

Why trouble and I can't see much at all at night with the camera . There are no lights. I did find an awesome way to mount my camera on my other phantom 4. I used a side cube light holder. The Flir mounted phantom is just for launching at night to track coyotes
