On one hand the image quality is garbage, on the other hand its more than enough for cheap one way fpv drones with already garbage looking analog signal quality. You may not be able to make out details but you'd at least be able to tell how many people are in an area and differentiate a truck from a tank.

It's even 50fps?
IIRC thermals with such specs are ITAR controlled in US. Well...

They also sell 640x480 camera for $600.

It's typical for IR drones I think, there's footage of such resolution being used to target mobiks.
It's enough to detect a heat signature from range and then to target individual mobiks up close.

Some anon posted a compilation video a few days ago that I can't find now. It was in a recent drone thread in response to a post about how Ukraine has developed a domestically produced IR camera for drones.

I wonder how well it would work on a speedy boy at night like a Nazgul. Probably very similar to the IR cams Ukraine uses for their night attacks on Russians.

>Better than minimal resolution
I legitimately might buy one of these just to fuck around with it.
If it's not garbage and has a decent refresh rate, this+video glasses+rasp. pi and battery in a 3d printed shell = head mounted, lightweight, low profile sub $1000 thermal NV.

You can buy em on alibaba or whatever chinese site and have em shiped to a location thst doesnt have your camera paying with google cards or whatever it is

If I can figure out how to wire one of these onto a commercial off the shelf racing fpv drone I'd probably do it for the laughs.

still neat tho

Importation isn't restricted, right?

>>65170116
Just buy the parts and a soldering iron yourself and roll your own 5 or 7 inch, hombre.
There's literally no time like the present to try, because of the Ukr/Rus conflict, parts are rock bottom basement prices, it's unbelievable. Like as far as a 60-75% drop in component prices over the past few years.
There are TONS of YouTube tutorials out there, and a million nerds on message boards that will absolutely help you figure out weird thermal integration, just on general principle or because they like the challenge.

Where do u even start tho
What YouTubers do u even look at for this stuff bc most things i find are for racing and idk where 2 begin

>>65171096
Buy from a Hobby website oriented around drones like BetaFPV

>>65170980
A highclass racing drone can be had for less than 500 bucks these days and doesnt require as much soldering or programming. In some cases the cameras are replaceable by design too. You are right that drones are cheaper than ever, I remember even 10 years ago and 700 dollars got you a slow DJI

have fun blowing up deer because every living creature shows up as a blob with that shitty resolution.

...you've just given me the most incredible idea for something to try next December when the season opens up.

Already a thing. Check the guys profile for more variants.

>>65169106
>suitable for FPV drone use
Sure they are, dumbass.

>>65173273
What do you think they are using...? In reality the ones they use are even a step more stripped down and when bought in bulk probably cost sub $100

>>65173273
stfu if you are too retarded to figure it out

>>65169175
>ITAR controlled in US
this is an export and non-citizen control
import and possession for US citizens is basically not controlled
not a lawyer
