The original post "Why should I spend $5,000 to attach a Flir to my P4P when I can buy a brand new Parrot Bebop with a Flir installed already for $1,500????"
My response... DJI (OEM) should offer a Thermal Phantom... to compete with Parrot's Bebop Thermal, which at $1,500 is just a Bebop 2 with $300.00 Flir One Pro camera mounted on the other end.
The Flir is a fixed camera, without a Gimbal... so... Good concept, poorly executed. If you want a thermal drone, there is not much, that I know of on the OEM market, between the Parrot and Matrice.
