Advanced Thermal Imaging for Demanding Aerial Missions
The FLIR Vue TZ20 Dual Thermal Camera delivers tactical-grade performance in a compact, ready-to-fly package. Designed for public safety teams, inspection professionals, and industrial users, this camera pairs two 640×512 FLIR Boson thermal sensors with 20x digital zoom—allowing operators to assess critical heat signatures from safe standoff distances.
Compatible with DJI V2 M200 series and M300 RTK via the Skyport 2.0 gimbal, the TZ20 is mission-ready out of the box. Whether you're identifying hotspots on rooftops or surveying a wildfire perimeter, this thermal imaging payload brings clarity to the heat of the moment.
Key Features of the FLIR Vue TZ20 Dual Thermal Camera
Purpose-built for professionals who rely on accurate thermal data in mission-critical scenarios, the TZ20 combines high-resolution sensors, long-range zoom, and seamless DJI integration in one lightweight package. These features aren’t just technical—they’re tactical advantages that help you make faster, safer decisions in the field.
- Dual FLIR Boson Sensors: Equipped with two 640×512 resolution Boson sensors, the TZ20 thermal inspection payload captures both wide-angle and narrow field-of-view (FOV) imagery in real time. This dual-sensor configuration enhances situational awareness while providing zoomed-in clarity—ideal for public safety, industrial inspections, and search and rescue.
- 20× Zoom Capability: Featuring 2x optical and 4x digital zoom, the FLIR Vue TZ20 offers 20× thermal zoom capability, allowing users to switch between a 95° wide-angle FOV and an 18° narrow FOV seamlessly. Whether you're scanning a large industrial site or isolating a heat source during tactical operations, the TZ20 delivers unmatched flexibility.
- Skyport 2.0 Integration: Fully compatible with the DJI M300 RTK and Matrice 200 V2 series via DJI Skyport 2.0. This integration enables smooth, gimbal-stabilized thermal imagery with plug-and-play ease, minimizing setup time and maximizing field performance.
- Radiometric Output Options: Supports multiple data formats including 8-bit JPEG, 14-bit TIFF, and H.264 video, meeting a range of enterprise-grade workflow needs. Includes customizable color palettes for clearer thermal contrast in diverse scenarios.
- Lightweight, Rugged Build: Weighing only 640g, the TZ20-R radiometric thermal zoom payload minimizes drag and extends flight time. Built to withstand the elements, the unit carries an IP44 rating—making it dust-resistant and water-resistant for field use in harsh conditions.
Built for Real-World Thermal Imaging Operations
From energy audits to emergency response, the FLIR Vue TZ20 Dual Thermal Camera is tailored for professionals who can’t afford guesswork. Use it confidently in:
- Public Safety Missions: Detect people in low visibility conditions, identify heat signatures in fire zones, and improve situational awareness during tactical operations.
- Utility and Infrastructure Inspections: Spot overheating transformers, failing electrical components, or thermal anomalies without needing ground crews in hazardous areas.
- Search and Rescue: Locate missing persons faster using high-resolution thermal imaging, even in darkness, fog, or dense vegetation.
- Environmental Monitoring: Survey large tracts of land, monitor wildlife heat signatures, or track thermal changes in ecological zones.
- Industrial Applications: Assess heat distribution in factories, plants, or solar farms with precision that can’t be achieved from the ground.
Why the FLIR Vue TZ20 Is a Smart Investment
Choosing the right thermal camera isn’t just about resolution—it’s about impact. The FLIR Vue TZ20 gives agencies and enterprises:
- Operational Efficiency: Cover more ground in fewer flights with powerful zoom and dual-sensor versatility.
- Faster Decision Cycles: Instantly interpret thermal anomalies without post-processing delays.
- Lower Risk, Higher ROI: Spot hazards, heat sources, or intrusions from a safe distance—keeping crews out of danger zones.
-
Seamless Integration: Mounts directly to DJI M300/M350 RTK drones and syncs with existing enterprise workflows.
Why Choose the FLIR TZ20 Over Other Payloads?
When you're tasked with thermal missions that can’t afford second guesses, the FLIR Vue TZ20 Dual Thermal Camera stands above the rest.
- True Dual-Sensor Advantage: Unlike single-sensor thermal cameras, the TZ20 offers simultaneous wide and narrow FOVs—so you can monitor the big picture and zoom in on key details without needing to land and swap gear.
- Purpose-Built for DJI Matrice: With native Skyport 2.0 support, the TZ20 integrates seamlessly with the DJI M300 RTK and Matrice 200 V2 series. That means zero compatibility issues and full gimbal stabilization right out of the box.
- Radiometric Edge: Choose between 8-bit and 14-bit outputs to match your post-processing workflow. Whether you're conducting thermal inspections, search and rescue, or environmental monitoring, this camera adapts to your data needs.
- Field-Ready Durability: Weighing under 650 grams and built to IP44 standards, the TZ20 doesn’t just go airborne—it stays reliable in dusty, damp, and unpredictable conditions.
-
Enterprise Support: Backed by Teledyne FLIR’s proven thermal technology, the TZ20 ensures consistent performance, accurate readings, and support that enterprise teams can trust.
For professionals in energy, defense, infrastructure, and public safety, the TZ20 isn’t a luxury—it’s the payload that gets the job done right the first time.
