Just a sorta kinda update, I now have acquired the DJI Inspire 2 drone system that I will use in conjunction with my FLIR Vue Pro R 640.
I will be able to rapidly close distance ( much fast than on foot ) on a target that may be at a great terrain advantage or over distance. If an event such as a vocalization occurs from up or down slope then a great deal of time is lost negotiating a plan to approach or gain visibility. The drone can be sent out in a matter of seconds to obtain thermal footage.
Thermal video of hog hunting from a similar system - WARNING - this shows animals being shot.
I need to purchase the 3 axis gimbal for direct interface with the drone, this also costs a pretty penny ( 1300$ to 1500$ ) so I am looking at having the system complete by the end of November. I would be on this sooner but many big game seasons are in full swing and the forest is packed with hunters at this time ( not looking to get that much money shot out of the sky ). Been busy as usual out in the field as well as with my recent move, I will post additionally as progress is made.
