FLIR Systems, Inc. announced the launch of five new thermal imaging cameras at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, including two new third-generation FLIR ONE thermal camera attachments for smartphones, two new dual sensor thermal cameras for drones, and a ruggedized compact thermal camera for home and building inspectors. 

All five products feature FLIR Lepton, FLIR’s revolutionary thermal microcamera core, and FLIR’s patented multispectral dynamic imaging (MSX) technology, which dramatically improves image quality and readability by dynamically embossing high-fidelity, visible-light details onto the thermal imagery.

“These innovative new thermal imaging devices further extend the utility and value of low-cost thermal imaging into consumer and small business applications,” said Andy Teich, CEO of FLIR. “Thermal imaging is more accessible than ever today thanks to our continued effort to make the technology smaller, more powerful and more affordable. We're excited to provide a thermal imaging ‘sixth sense’ with the third generation FLIR ONE, FLIR Duo for drones, and FLIR C3 camera for professional users.”

The third generation FLIR ONE provides a powerful, introductory-level thermal camera that attaches to iOS or Android devices. Featuring the new OneFit adjustable-height connector, including a USB-C version for Android, the camera easily attaches to more smartphones without needing to remove the phone case. 

Meanwhile, the all-new FLIR ONE Pro is the most advanced FLIR ONE ever developed, according to the company. Featuring a ruggedized design, the new OneFit adjustable-height connector, and a more powerful set of imaging features for the job site, the FLIR ONE Pro is ideal for professionals who use thermal imaging for their work needs. 

Featuring MSX and VividIR advanced image processing, the FLIR ONE Pro offers excellent image quality and detail. Professional features include multiple spot temperature meters and one-touch reporting capabilities to quickly interpret and share results. 

Fully integrated with the FLIR Tools app for in-depth data analysis, the FLIR ONE Pro delivers a professional-grade thermal camera for workers who require greater thermal capabilities from their mobile devices.

The FLIR Duo is the drone industry’s first multi-sensor camera that features FLIR's Lepton thermal microcamera core, a high-definition (HD) 1080p visible camera, and FLIR's patented MSX technology.

The FLIR Duo offers versatile onboard recording to a micro SD card and real-time remote control of camera functions, and it can be mounted to any airframe capable of holding the most popular action cameras. 

Operators can switch between the FLIR Duo's thermal and visible cameras in-flight, or view both in a picture-in-picture mode. 

In addition, the FLIR Duo R builds upon the basic offering with accurate temperature measurement capabilities for commercial applications including agricultural, construction, civil engineering, building inspection, and public safety use cases.

Finally, the FLIR C3 is a ruggedized, pocket-portable thermal camera for home inspectors, real estate professionals, general contractors, and other trade professionals who need a powerful diagnostic tool to quickly pinpoint hidden electrical, energy efficiency, or moisture issues. 

With a high brightness, 3-in (7.6-cm) touchscreen, the FLIR C3 includes Wi-Fi connectivity to streamline image transfer while featuring higher thermal sensitivity and measurement capability for accurate temperature readings. The device also includes a new picture-in-picture function to enable better image comparisons in the field.

All of the products will be made commercially available in the first half of 2017, and they can be purchased through established FLIR distribution partners or at the company’s online store.
