New TZ20-R Thermal Camera Offers True Zoom Capability

In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Kelly Brodbeck, the UAS product manager at Teledyne-FLIR about the company’s latest offering: the VUE TZ20-R. It is compatible with Matrice-series airframes from DJI, such as the M200, the M210 and the M300. It has broad capabilities across applications such as industrial inspection, search and rescue and firefighting. A radiometric camera, the TZ20-R especially effective when paired with a visible light zoom camera from DJI, such as the Z30. The TZ20-R will replace the current FLIR TX2 payload in the company’s product lineup. The TZ20-R actually incorporates two FLIR Boson cores, one with 1x magnification and the other with a 5x magnification, allowing for a lossless zoom capability to the narrower field of view.
