This is a thermal detection range test. The test subjects are Alabama whitetail deer estimated to be in the range of 70lbs for a juvenile to 130lbs for the mature does.
Comment and let me know if you want to see this done with other test subjects(human, dogs, etc).
We test the detectability of the deer at an altitude of 400ft and at 500ft intervals horizontally from the target...500ft - 3000ft

Thanks for the demo, I would use a better color scheme but this demonstrates its capabilities very well. That drone is sick! All it needs is a gun mount

@STRThermal 6 ай бұрын

I like the “tint” palette myself, but, you’re right, for this video I really should have walked through the other color palette as not everyone likes “tint”. I also should changed the setting that allows it to ignore the “sky” part of the frame.

Hi, great video thanks. Can you see deer etc in closed bush cover? Maybe it depends if the bush is wet or not?

@STRThermal 9 ай бұрын

Hello. The thicker the cover, the harder they are to spot. But I can often detect deer with the thermal in dense cover/canopy that I can’t even see with the visible camera. Super dense cover will increase the difficulty. Just depends on the cover. Watch a few more of my videos where I cover slightly different cover scenarios. Also wet or dry doesn’t matter, but overcast or after sunset is best as you need the foliage to be cool so the deer create more contrast.

@strthermal! Great video. Do you think it would be enough to find asian wasp nest? thanks

@STRThermal 6 ай бұрын

I can find a squirrel at 350-400 feet. Or the heat of a raccoon sleeping in a hollow tree. It’s very sensitive. I have not found any bee hives or hornets nests myself but if they are large enough and put off enough heat I would think it’s possible. A quick Google indicates thermal is viable with the wasp nests, you would want to fly pre-dawn when the wasp nest would be most noticeable against the surrounding objects.

Is there anyway to test if you can see theremal activity in shipping containers with one of these? Would you be able to use this to see if people are in one?

@STRThermal 11 ай бұрын

You can’t see the human heat signature directly, thermal can’t see through walls, glass, etc. But if there are enough people in one container, and the environment/weather is cool, you may can detect that the container with the humans(enough humans to warm the container) is warmer than the others.

@STRThermal 6 ай бұрын

Absolutely. Join the LPSARDA(Lost Pet Search and Rescue Drone Association) on Facebook. Most of us use the Mavic 3T. That said some people like the all-weather capability(and other trick features) of the M30T if the budget(at least twice what a Mavic 3T costs) allows. Here's a comparison that will show you some of the differences between the two options, including price. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5ejnK-r36_Ln5c.htmlsi=L0rnFEnwjnp-Dg6Z

What is the best thermal palette to use?

@STRThermal 7 ай бұрын

I personally find the “tint” palette to be the best FOR ME. I think after flying for some time I’m accustomed to it. But some people like the traditional white hot or black hot. Even FLIR says there is no perfect palette for all jobs and it depends on the job and personal preference.

Ok, I was a little off on the verbiage....Drone Nerds lists it for $5498 for the Care Basic Warranty and $5998 for the Care Plus Warranty. There isn't an official fly-more combo for this model. It comes with one battery. I bought 2 battery sets(3 batteries per set), two extra full sets of props, a controller lanyard, extra sd-cards, and a landing pad. So, it adds up. The initial setup will get you in the air but I think at bare minimum you will want extra batteries.
