As consumer drones have gained sophistication and professional drones have come down in price, features previously limited to high-end devices are finding their way onto ever more affordable unmanned aerial vehicles.
The latest example is Parrot’s ANAFI Thermal, a professional version of the consumer-grade ANAFI drone introduced in mid-2018. In addition to the gimbal-mounted 4K HDR camera on the $700 consumer model, the pro model also packs a 1080p FLIR camera for thermal imaging, in a quadcopter with a suggested retail price of $1,900.
