DJI Matrice 600 Pro + Gremsy S1 + Flir Duo Pro Single Pilot Aerial Kit

DJI Matrice 600 Pro

The Matrice 600 Pro was designed as a heavy lift workhorse for industry professionals boasting a 35 minute flight time with control & live video stream up to 5 km. Designed from the ground up with built-in redundancies for the ultimate in reliability when flight safety is crucial. Combined with the latest in thermal imaging optics powered by FLIR Systems, the Matrice 600 Pro has been deployed heavily in industrial petrochemical plants and refinery operations.

FLIR Duo Pro

FLIR Duo Pro R Features

Dual-Sensor Imaging

High resolution thermal and 4K color imagers integrated into a single powerful, convenient package.

Multiple Display Options

Select the video source you want – visible, thermal with MSX, or picture-in-picture.

Installation Ready

With a wide power input range of 5-26VDC and ready analog or HDMI digital video outputs, Duo Pro R can be made to fit almost any drone.

Integrated Sensors

Fully integrated GPS, IMU, magnetometer, and barometer embed all the metadata in still images needed to create accurate maps.

PWM Control

Configure and control the camera in the air with up to three PWM inputs, or interface to MAVLink devices.

On-Board Recording

Records digital thermal video and stills to two dedicated on-board microSD cards.

Accurate Color and Thermal Videos in Real Time

The FLIR Duo R is the world’s first dual sensor camera that offers radiometric thermal and visible light imaging in the most compact and lightweight packaging, making it perfect for gimbals as well as drone rigs and mounts.

Similar to a small action camera, the Duo R follows its predecessor–the FLIR Duo–and offers the same groundbreaking features, such as onboard recording of real-time remote camera control. On the other hand, the upgraded FLIR Duo R is designed specifically with thermal drone experts in mind as it offers more precise, accurate, and calibrated temperature measurements in every pixel for improved visibility during contactless aerial temperature measurements.

With a camera body measuring only 41x59x29.6mm and weighing 84 grams, this small and powerful camera offers +/-5°C or 5% accuracy in thermal measurement reading, captures 1080p color videos, and integrates the new Lepton thermal sensor for 2 megapixels of thermal video in 160x120 resolution.

Fully Radiometric Thermal Images

Aside from capturing accurate pixel-by-pixel thermal videos, the FLIR® Duo R also captures thermal images. This means you can capture still thermal images during an aerial survey for later analysis and review.

In-Flight Image Enhancement and Remote Control

During in-flight recording, users can switch between color and thermal camera, view footage in picture-in-picture mode (PIP) so you can perform multiple activities at once (such as watching a video in a pinned window in one corner of the screen while configuring settings), and select the MSX® Blended feature for more detailed imagery in daylight conditions.

The FLIR® Duo R also offers real-time remote control of basic camera functions–recording start/stop, selection between image color palettes, capturing still images, switching to video streaming – over Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

Multiple Live Video Outputs and Recording Options

Recording long videos are made even easier with H.264 compression and speedy export of MOV formats to the onboard microSD card. The Duo R also has a wide 5-26 VDC input power range for better integration to onboard systems. Additionally, it provides you with two options for live video output: analog video via built-in 10-pin mini-USB connector or digital video via a micro-HDMI connector.

Highly Compatible with Action Camera Mounts and Controllers

Unlike many other dual sensor and thermal cameras, the Duo R allows MAVLink integration with MAVLink-compatible flight controllers and camera configurations with the FLIR Duo R mobile app via Bluetooth. It’s also compatible with most action camera rigs and mounts.

Gremsy S1 Gimbal

The S1 provides high-precision pointing accuracy in a small, lightweight body specifically designed for industrial applications. This includes full integrated support for the FLIR Duo Pro R thermal imaging camera.
To meet the demands of rapidly improving UAS payloads, Gremsy utilized an innovative power supply that separates the supplies for the gimbal and other accessories. The S1 includes HDMI and an expansive 9-pin auxiliary port for camera control combined with CanLink that allows a live feed via the DJI Go app. All of this combined ensures that the gimbal and drone can all be controlled from one transmitter. For cameras with standalone GPS units, the S1 includes an integrated SMA port, allowing easy integration, as well as built-in Bluetooth for simple gimbal configuration.

The DJI Matrice 600 Channel Expansion Kit is required to allow full integrated support for the FLIR Duo Pro R camera.
