    Ways you've Used Your Bebop Thermal...

    Hello y'all, from Texas. I haven't been on here for awhile. I was wondering...what are some of the ways you utilize or enjoy your Bebop Thermal? Please feel free to reply. I am curious. As for me, I use the drone in my business, which is that of TREC Home Inspector. I use the drone to scan...

    Hello from Texas...

    Not sure whether your post was for LuvMyTJ or for me. If for me, I don't mind meeting up and having lunch etc, and talking about the drone business. I mostly use my drone in the following categories: - Upscale Real Estate Photography (A/V & Post Prod) - TREC Inspection...

    Thermal Drone in Commercial Building Inspection - Update

    I posted before I got the Bebop Thermal in the mail, that I hoped to use it for D.O.E. Energy Audits and Thermal Industrial Building assist auditing. I have now used the drone on 3 different occasions. Here is my assessment of it's capability as pertains to my needs (i.e. energy auditing...

    Theoretical Question

    Funny you should ask, lol. That i one of the first things I tried, mostly because our small Volunteer Fire Department could benefit from the SAR capabilities (and hot spot targeting) of a thermal drone. At about 100 ft you can make out that it is a human IF you squint, lol. Much above that...

    Theoretical Question

    Flew the Parrot Bebop Thermal today. Put it through some serious flight patterns. It's not DJI, that's for sure, lol. A little quirky, but flies decent. The thermal portion works as advertised. I have a roof energy audit later this week. That will be the REAL test. Hopefully I can get...

    Theoretical Question

    True dat. Lol. They are REALLY good at making new product just different enough that it is incompatible with older product. Good marketing on their part. Bad for us dreamers, lol.

    Theoretical Question

    Remember, I'm not saying you can't, it's just been my experience that FLIR doesn't do things that way. The hardware would no doubt plug right in. Usually where they throw in a marketing-type strategic road block is in the software. FreeFlight Thermal would need to be able to handle...

    Theoretical Question

    I am a long-time FLIR end product user and multi-product owner. It has been my experience that FLIR doesn't interchange product very often. In my opinion, the FLIR-One lineup SHOULD interchange. It is a lineup that provides entry level FLIR with several very similar to use product entries...

    No Info on Tablet Compatibility - Thermal Freeflight App

    Good luck! I think the Active will work fine. Check the version of Android with the Bebop, but that' s all. Kevin

    No Info on Tablet Compatibility - Thermal Freeflight App

    Update: Galaxy Tab S3 arrived today. Hooked it up to my Bebop Thermal. After a quick update, and some calibration, it started right up! Man, the thermal is just what I had hoped it would be! I haven't flown it yet, only started the app, etc. inside. I have a commercial thermal audit early...

    No Info on Tablet Compatibility - Thermal Freeflight App

    I noticed that the app wouldn't show on an older tablet I had as well, which is why I started emailing them, lol. Yeah, $1500 can be a little steep for personal use. I actually use it in my line of work. I am waiting for the tablet, then I have a thermal audit on a commercial building to do...

    No Info on Tablet Compatibility - Thermal Freeflight App

    Is yours a Tab 3 or a Tab S3? The App shows an S3 only. Also, according to an email I got, the version of Android makes a difference. If the Tab doesn't have the correct version of Android (which may or may NOT be the latest), they said it wouldn't "show up". Honestly, I thought the Tab 3...

    No Info on Tablet Compatibility - Thermal Freeflight App

    I have a tab S3 coming. I got a reply from Parrot after a few days of trying. They said the S3 would work. If yours is an S3, it should. I hope it will, as I just spent $400 on the tablet AFTER they said it would work. I also know that the version of Android REALLY matters. On the Play...

    Thermal Drone - Tablet Info From Parrot (Response)

    Thanks, Leif! I'll try hard to keep some updated materials on as I learn it. I have spent a number of years using the FLIR cameras, and look forward to seeing how it integrates with the Parrot. Fly on, y'all!

    Thermal Drone - Tablet Info From Parrot (Response)

    Hey all.... After several aggravating hours (and days) trying to get past the initial, entry level, support call center blues (i.e. someone re-reading the owner manual to me over and over, lol) I finally got a designer to send me the following information: ------------------------- Mr...
