The LR1 Thermal Pro Upgrade is an essential add-on for operators who need high-resolution thermal imaging without sacrificing the incredible 61-megapixel RGB mapping capabilities of the standard LR1 payload. Designed to seamlessly integrate directly onto the existing LR1 gimbal, this upgrade transforms the Freefly Astro into a dual-sensor powerhouse for search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, energy asset monitoring, and advanced agricultural analysis. Key Features Dual-Sensor Capability: By adding this module, your Astro captures both extremely high-resolution 61MP RGB imagery (via the Sony ILX-LR1) and high-quality thermal data simultaneously on the same flight path. Boson Pro 640 Integration: At the heart of the upgrade is the FLIR Boson Pro 640 core, delivering exceptional thermal sensitivity and a crisp 640x512 resolution. Live Video Streaming: The thermal video feed can be streamed directly to Auterion Mission Control (AMC), allowing operators to identify heat signatures or inspect assets in real time during the flight. Synchronized Data Capture: Thermal images are captured directly to a dedicated SD card within the module, ensuring your data is safely stored and easy to manage alongside the RGB captures. Complete Hardware Integration: The kit includes everything needed for a quick, balanced installation. It connects directly into the LR1's expansion ports—no messy external wiring required. Stackable Functionality: Need laser telemetry as well? The Thermal Pro upgrade includes a large counterweight designed to accommodate both the thermal sensor and the LR1 Laser Range Finder upgrade simultaneously.

The upgrade kit includes all the necessary mounting hardware and counterweights to ensure the LR1 gimbal remains perfectly balanced: 1x Thermal Sensor Module (with FLIR Boson Pro 640) 1x Large Counterweight (designed to support just the thermal module OR both thermal and laser range finder) 1x SD Card for thermal image capture Required mounting screws (M3 x 5 BHCS, M3 x 10 SHCS, M3 x 8 FHCS) (Note: The thermal upgrade is an add-on module and requires the base LR1 Payload to function. It cannot be mounted directly to the Astro independently.)
