So is this the CGOET that I mentioned in my earlier posts? I don't think anybody commented on my statements about that camera made for the Typhoon H.
Seemed the timing and FCC approval on 4/29/16 all fell into a cause for Yuneec's delayed release.
I'm all for a better camera and glass--- That's why I bought this drone-- For videography work.
Still, I figured the "surprise" was an accessory or voucher for a future product.
Thanks for sharing the news
CGOET is a thermal camera.
Looked closer at the internal pictures, it's got a FLIR Lepton sensor inside. It's the 50 degree FOV version with shutter. I have mixed feelings with that choice. Much cheaper sensor but really low resolution at 80h x 60w. The shutter version means it can do temperature calibration internally for reasonably accurate spot measurements. Combined with the normal camera you can do overlays just like the FLIR One that they make for cell phones. It's better than nothing, but not usable for telling the difference between a person and a cow at 200ft. Upshot is the whole setup could probably be sold for $500 range depending on what the other camera is and how much they mark it up.
Like everything else so far, that's an educated guess and we won't know for sure until they announce it. I can definitely say that's a FLIR Lepton 2.0 sensor w/ 50 degree FOV and 80x60 resolution though, unless they're working behind the scenes with FLIR on a new sensor in the same package.
