thank you to dbrand for making CES 2017 possible for us this year check them out
0:03
in the link below so you guys have probably heard of fer thermal imaging
0:08
not only have we done videos on them but they've been in like the news they do
0:11
stuff for military and police applications they make consumer products
0:15
they do a ton of stuff they're basically the name in thermal imaging as far as I
0:19
know but you probably haven't seen this this is the Fleer Duo it's basically a
0:24
Fleer camera in like GoPro form so you can attach it to a drone it's camera is
0:29
capable of taking P multi-spectral Imaging which is how you get clear Crisp
0:33
Images where you can actually see the details of things like say a dog's face
0:37
but still get the thermal information on top the unit itself has a Bluetooth
0:40
button on the left hand side that allows you to control it through a phone or a
0:44
laptop or something like that a record button on top and then on the right hand
0:48
side there's a USB port which needs to be used for power as there's no battery
0:53
on board which makes sense cuz I had to fit two cameras into this thing then
0:56
behind that there's an micro SD card slot for video storage or picture
1:00
storage and above that there's an HDMI port which means that you can push out
1:05
to something like a screen which is actually pretty cool if you didn't want
1:08
to attach this to a drone and wanted to set it up as maybe a surveillance camera
1:11
or something like that what's also cool is that it's available now but I can't
1:15
actually show you the results of this thing working because they don't have
1:18
the right cable or something which is rather unfortunate what I can show you
1:23
is the Fleer one pro which is this guy
1:26
but it's named the same as the previous one this is the third
1:32
generation what isn't uh about it is its specs and its capability it's a 2
1:37
megapixel camera which is doesn't sound that great but when you're in thermal
1:40
imaging is actually rather good it's a USB type-c port on the top which can
1:44
actually be raised or lowered through a radio dial which is actually pretty cool
1:48
they had a lot of requests for this because of people on construction sites or just people in general who had thick
1:53
bodied cases on their phones now they can raise the USB port up and get it to
1:57
fit up in there without actually taking their case off which is nice you can
2:01
control up to three temp points at once you can click at three different places
2:04
on the screen it can measure the temperature at those places or you can drag and move them around and measure
2:08
whatever you want and it comes with Vivid IR which is a new technology that
2:12
they're using which should give you a cleaner crisper easier to make sense of
2:16
image it's also a well uh drop rated for 1.8 m which is
2:24
good but it does cost a little bit it's $399 that being said though it's the pro
2:28
version you can also get the consumer version if you want which cost
2:32
$199 doesn't have quite as many features like not actually going to drop it it's
2:37
not drop rated for like anything it has one temp point on the screen not three
2:42
it doesn't have vivid IR so the images aren't quite clean and crisp and you
2:45
don't have access to the Fleer tools app so you can't do anything Advanced beyond
2:49
that if neither of those float your boat we have a different device this
2:52
all-in-one contained unit called the Fleer C3 it has an extremely rugged
2:57
package and is designed for construction sites it even has a hook so you can put
3:01
on your keys or a lanyard or something like that but there is a trade-off the
3:04
sensor isn't quite as nice and the thermal range isn't as wide either but
3:09
they did tell me when I asked about that that if you see a temperature that's
3:12
over 150° on a construction site you might have other problems it can store
3:17
2,000 photos but unfortunately can't take videos although oddly enough it has
3:23
Wi-Fi and you can stream with it so that's what's new from Fleer I wish I
3:27
could show you actual footage from the Fleer Duo but we'll probably get one of
3:30
those in office at some point I love Fleer stuff I'm happy that they're
3:34
coming out with new generation things I do appreciate that every single time
3:37
that they come out with a new Fleer one their consumer end one becomes cheaper I
3:42
think that's pretty cool if you've ever thought about getting into thermal imaging check out Fleer it's actually
3:46
solid stuff and if you want to check out something else cool before you leave
3:49
check out debran I've got them on all my stuff I think I showed off the back of
3:53
my phone for like almost every single debrand integration so far but whatever
3:57
man we also use them on our laptops which I've also called out in every
4:01
single debrand integration so far so you're probably used to it by now but
4:05
whatever if you're tired of seeing my skins check out the configurator down below and make your own I'll see you
4:10
guys next time go to the debrand lake down below bye
