The Best Thermal Drones and Thermal Cameras of 2022

Anyone who’s been keeping track of the drone industry in the last several years has seen, felt, or at least heard of the impact that drone thermal technology has been having in many different verticals.

 From rescue applications to thermal inspections of solar panels and solar arrays, high-quality thermal cameras have been paired with aerial vehicles to provide accurate, non-contact temperature measurements from an aerial perspective. In plain English, thermal inspections from the sky.

 Previously, capturing accurate temperature measurements from above meant spending lots of time, money, and effort. Now, with compact and affordable aerial thermal solutions like the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual and the Matrice 300 RTK, detailed thermal measurements in roof inspections, power grid, and power line inspections are available. These analyses are readily available as a live map displayed right on the remote controller.

 This is imagery accessible to anyone with a drone, allowing them to make accurate, informed decisions quicker, safer, and more efficiently than ever before.
