Easy to Connect
Just plug in a GoPro-compatible cable into the 10-pin mini-USB connector to feed the camera a regulated 5VDC power supply and get analog video out to your video transmitter or OSD, and you're ready to go. If you need more detailed information, the pinout for Vue's 10-pin mini-USB connector is available in the Vue IDD drawing under the Product Literature tab above.
Easy to Mount
Because of FLIR Vue's light weight, you’ve got lots of mounting options available to you on any kind of aircraft. Whether you want to hard-mount it or put it on a brushless gimbal, FLIR Vue can do the job.
Easy to Use
There's really nothing to it. Since all of the configuration has already been done, just power it up and go fly. But if you want to dig into the settings a little deeper, just download our Camera Controller GUI and connect FLIR Vue to your PC with a USB cable.

* Because the analog video output resolutions (640 × 480 and 320 × 240, respectively) are less than the full sensor resolution captured when saving digital stills and video, their resultant fields of view are slightly smaller as well. Both sets of values are shown here to allow operators the option of choosing the FOVs that most accurately reflect their pre-flight planning requirements.
