It sure does.It actually look good, bro.
Be sure to check the longer review on YouTube.

I'm with ya on several points... it's a small 160 sensor which limits it's distance & detail.
Then on the other hand, it's a small portable craft targeted for maybe closer work.
The M2E Dual for the same 160 sensor is simply over priced, and actually for the intended purposes I think is "over" equipped with sensors that would need to be turned off to navigate in close quarters. Fly a MA or MP inside a house, it can't move about much with all the sensors on.
As a DJI Owner, including M2P and greatly appreciates all the 3rd party apps for DJI crafts and several strengths DJI holds in comparison to several crafts; I wasn't interested in the M2D due to limitations & price.
Along came the Anafi Thermo at roughly half the cost, I gained an interest in a small thermo.
The Anafi itself gets positive reviews, I like the quite small package... other than it's odd looks. I like some of the features: battery USB charging, and 180 degree Gimbal. I haven't read anything that indicates a bad investment if you've accepted the 160 sensor limitations.
The FLIR sensor MSX method to mix RGB is one area I had hoped Parrot would have copied. Their method is similar but to my eyes, I think the MSX provides greater detail... maybe wrong, haven't seen either in person.
At close range, they both appear to provide useable detail... so it might not be an issue.
I'm looking forward to a large 640-R camera, but not a justified purchase for me at the present. More of a "want" to obtain exposure and gain experience within the Thermo projects. Like @R.P..R, been looking at the H520 option E10T 640R version that is rumored without reality... and that isn't a reliable path with Yuneec. The Zenmuse XT or XT2 are likely, but waiting for a nice value resale package... which are rare.
I had 2 Yuneec CGO-ET, which I found basically useless... and they alone were about half the cost of Anafi Thermon that is Radiometric. For the low cost investment, I'm hopeful the Anafi Thermo would present value in both close in work and to expand my understanding of Thermo evaluation and flying.
Are the photos captured on Anafi-T, useable in Flir Tools software. Watching the ITC training video showed the JPG photos on Flir handhelds contain all the metadata to be used in Flir tools for the Radiometric and ability to analyze the photos, build boxes or data points. It looked like the Flir One Pro also provided the metadata and it uses the same 160 sensor, so was curious if that was also captured. Do the JPGs from the Anafi provide that functionality too?Here is a quick video about the Parrot ANAFI Thermal.

... Do the JPGs from the Anafi provide that functionality too?...
...I was under the assumption it had to be the older Flir photo images with the proprietary extensions, but it appears the new models all capture the data and present as a JPG extension... although it still requires the Flir Tools SW to access the specialized metadata...
...Can you capture a video image frame(s) with similar metadata from the Anafi-T?
...Within the Flir Tools Sw, where it refers to the MSX options to vary the RGB layer, does that apply to the Anafi's RGB layer too?
Great to hear!Hi DOug,
Absolutely
Yes
All radiometric capable cameras has the option to capture "rJPEG" formats.
Flir Tools doesn't care what IR camera it pulls the image from, as long as the for mat is rJPEG.
Yes
On my course, students get to play with different thermal cameras during lab work.

Bro.. Why not advertise your own visual content in your website?
@Otta Control ya got me to look it up... Thanks!Can you capture a video image frame(s) with similar metadata from the Anafi-T?

Regarding the Video:
I may have read too quickly... or misunderstood. This Radiometric does not apply to videos due to radiometric metadata not existing in the MPeg4 Video file? Or are you indicating it is in the video mp4 or if you captured a few video frames, would there be radiometric metadata? I'm assuming that's a negative.
It's amusing to me that people raved when DJI came out with the thermal Mavic. But this comes out and it's "junk".
The Mavic 2 Enterprise helped saved a life and are the go to for first responders.
Fremont Police use DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual with FLIR thermal camera to find missing teen
The police of the City of Fremont in California used a drone with a FLIR camera to find a missing teenager. The Fremont police dispatch received a call...www.google.com
OK. Please explain to me how the DJI is so Uber cool, and the Anafi is junk? Simply because the Mavic was used in a SAR?
Think it comes down to market density and the associated Brand recognition. Is Nike any better than Adidas, Puma or Converse... Nope, but which brand does the herd select... Nike... why, brand and the celebrities. Substitute Nike with DJI and celebrities with SAR, Rescue or Government. As long as DJI doesn't take a major stumble, their market dominance will probably feed itself and gain. Now, if you had a few drones explode, go crazy, strike people or some type of negative it’ll open the door for a short period providing another Player to attempt to push a market change... until brain fade restores balance. Kinda what happened with Adidas in the sport world and Nike jumped!OK. Please explain to me how the DJI is so Uber cool, and the Anafi is junk? Simply because the Mavic was used in a SAR?
Little disappointed with the hand held One Pro unit received a few days ago. The 160 resolution isn't bad for the distance and subject matter... actually better with MSX than expected.@R.P..R if interested, you might take a look at the Flir One Pro... a step up from the One Pro LT.
Able to use the Flir Tools SW, it provides essentially a ground version of the Anifa-T (and M2E Dual).
Flir One Pro @ $330 Amazon - Available USB-C, Lighting, MicroUSB.
