Does DJI even look at the "Pro Systems" section of their forums? You, I and many others have tried bringing these oddly missing basic features to their attention. So far there's no evidence that our concerns are even being read by DJI. This is no way to treat your highest level tier customers.
Yea, no love.
Well unfortunately, the “other” thermal drone company has their own set of issues too! How frustrating…
Because the Mavic 3T STILL is probably the one I’m gonna buy after a full day of researching & scouring the internet for information.
And DJI’s side-by-side is more appealing than the overlay. Wow, this is a tough call & the DJI is non-returnable. Resale is near impossible on these drones, too… I’ve had a heck of a time selling previous drones in the past for any meaningful amount.
I do like how customizable the other drone’s thermal is though. JUST like my thermal devices I currently have, being able to customize how exactly the thermal detects, brightness & contrast, detail & noise control… is absolutely game changing in its effectiveness and speed at which you can detect or track a lifeform. This is key to using this stuff tactically since these microbolometers (the thermal sensor) aren’t tuned to perfection from the factory (usually tuned to too high contrast, which washes out terrain & surroundings & situational awareness).
I’m super impressed with the pricing of all this tech. Going small like the 12 nanometer sensor allows for less use of the uber expensive germanium in the lens. Heck, 10-15 years ago thermals were $30k-$50k just because all the germanium they needed for the monstrous lenses!
So IN REALITY, it really looks like an end user has to pick their poison… how unfortunate, at any cost. <insert sad face here> |
