DJI Zenmuse XT2 with a FLIR sensor announced

DJI, in partnership with FLIR, has officially announced its new DJI Zenmuse XT2 drone camera with FLIR thermal imaging sensor technology.

The Zenmuse XT2 is DJI’s first dual-sensor and its most advanced gimbal-stabilized camera for commercial drone applications. Its new drone camera includes both a high-definition 4K color video camera and a high-resolution radiometric thermal camera, allowing operators to switch between thermal and visible cameras in flight.

The Zenmuse XT2 also uses FLIR’s patented MSX technology, or multispectral dynamic imaging, that embosses high-fidelity, visible-light details onto the thermal imagery to enhance image quality and perspective.

“Now drone operators can capture data without landing, an important advantage for search and rescues operations, monitor the health of mechanical and electrical equipment remotely, and identify potential problems in buildings. Our collaboration with DJI perfectly aligns with our mission to use our thermal technology to help save lives and livelihoods.” said James Cannon, President and CEO of FLIR.

The Zenmuse XT2 is compatible with the DJI Matrice 600 and Matrice 200 Series platforms and integrates with DJI’s data transmission technology for live video display. Full integration gives drone operators plug-and-play installation, real-time control, and recording during flight in thermal, visible, or thermal/visible picture-in-picture. This flexibility allows operators to acquire double the data in a single camera and stay focused on mission-critical tasks.

DJI hasn’t revealed the price yet for the Zenmuse XT2.
