DJI and FLIR have created the first specialized thermal imaging camera for qudcopter drones, which uses the Zenmuse gimbal technology for real time stabilization in flight. The DJI Zenmuse XT Thermal Imaging Camera is compatible with DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Matrice 100, which allows the drones to be used for search and rescue operations, firefighting, inspection of solar panels and electrical grids, monitoring of animals in agriculture and others. The camera, developed by DJI and FLIR, has the most modern software to improve video clarity and detail, such as Digital Detail Enhancement ™, Smart Scene Optimization ™, Active Contrast Enhancement ™ and Information Based HEQ ™ technologies by FLIR.

The DJI Zenmuse XT Thermal Imaging Camera can be fully controlled by DJI GO App, with added several special features - digital zoom, photo and video preview and downloading, capturing images during video recording, control the camera settings while recording, measurement of temperature and many others. Average flight time with mounted DJI Zenmuse XT camera is 22 minutes for DJI Inspire 1 and 35 minutes for DJI Matrice 100.

See the unseen. FLIR cameras reveal details invisible to the naked eye by making subtle differences in temperature visible. This new view on the world can reveal when equipment or buildings are damaged, the location of lost people and much more.

DJI Go App Manual Control

The DJI Zenmuse XT Thermal Imaging Camera can be controlled completely through the DJI GO app, providing a real-time, low latency view of what the camera sees, and instant access to core camera functions including: spot metering; temperature measurement at the mid-point; digital zoom; single or interval shooting modes; photo, video preview and download; take photos while recording video; various camera settings and parameters including: palette, also referred to as Look-up Table (LUT); scene, also referred to as Automatic Gain Correction (AGC); region of Interest (ROI); isotherm mode.

Precision Temperature Measurement

Simply tap any point in an on-screen image to view the temperature of that point or select an area to measure the average, highest and lowest temperatures as well as their location. The camera can also be calibrated to further increase temperature measurement precision by setting external parameters including background temperature, scene emissivity and more. If photos are captured in the TIFF format, the temperature of each pixel can be recorded for further processing and analysis. A temperature alert threshold can be set, automatically activating when that temperature is detected. This capability could simplify and accelerate search and rescue and inspection activities.

Compatible with DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Matrice 100

The DJI Zenmuse XT Thermal Imaging Camera provides high-sensitivity (50mK) infrared scanning at 640/30 fps or 336/30 fps depending on the camera model. This sensitivity provides accurate temperature measurements ideal for analytics and telemetry. Both cameras are available with four lens options to meet different business needs. Stabilized and controlled by a custom DJI gimbal, it provides smooth, clear imagery and 360 degrees of seamless rotational movement. The DJI Zenmuse XT camera is compatible with DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Matrice 100 drones.

Active Contrast Enhancement™

Active Contrast Enhancement™ (ACE) that adjusts scene contrast relative to its temperature difference.

Digital Detail Enhancement™

Digital Detail Enhancement™ (DDE) that refine the shapness for better image quality.

Smart Scene Optimization™

Smart Scene Optimization™ (SSO), which enhances extremes in bi-modal scenes.

The DJI Zenmuse XT Thermal Imaging Camera has several varieties with different FPA/Digital Video Display Formats and frame rates. Each one of them comes with built-in lense (5 models). Select the camera according to their needs in order to make the most of the opportunities offered:

Zenmuse XT 336x256

Zenmuse XT 640x512
