saveitforparts | I Taped A Thermal Camera To A Drone And Saved $4,500 @saveitforparts | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Drones are fun, infrared thermal cameras are fun, what happens when you combine them? An airborne thermal camera can find humans and animals, locate caves, scout your house for heat leaks, and do all kinds of other fun things! Normally these cost around $5,000, so they're normally only used by police, military, or rescue teams.
I wanted my own thermal drone for closer to a $500 budget. Thanks to HikMicro's thermal camera products, a little duct tape, some zip ties, and a used drone from @gardenfork, I finally have one!
You can find the Hikmicro Mini2 camera for Android here:

I'm still working on the legal paperwork for this contraption, because it's definitely too heavy to fly without registration and licensing. Until then, here are some test runs indoors in my surplus geodesic space radome!
