I think DJI are going to be announcing a thermal camera for the Mavic 2 Enterprise on Monday 17th December.
Well, going by this they are 
Any early guesses as to the price point?

Expensive!
I’m guessing it’s going to need to be a complete gimbal/camera assembly. If it was just a thermal camera you clip on top it would be pretty useless.
Around a grand is my guess. Or 3 if it’s paired with drone.
Yeah I’d probably pitch it about the same price point.
Handy gadget but I’d only use it once or twice before the novelty wore off 
I’ll cross this accessory off my Christmas list and leave it for the pros 
Like you can interchange the M2P/M2Z camera/gimbal assembly - I’d guess this is to be a 3rd camera/gimbal that can be interchanged.

I could find a use for houses thermal insulation surveys
Just tell them the heat escapes out the roof and the windows - save yourself a grand there Jeff

Could do but some people like to see the proof in black and white (ok in this case colour)

I’m not sure such a small sensor with limited sensitivity would be up to doing surveys and such.
We used a ~£1k fluke ti100 at work for fault finding hydraulic power packs. Was pretty rubbish but was compact compared to other TI cameras.
Have also used a mid range fluke TI450 pro which was night and day compared to the 100 but costs around £6k and quite bulky.
I just can’t see them being able to fit something usable on a Mavic 2. Inspire 2 maybe.
I can see a huge application for a reasonably priced thermal camera for highland animal stock checking and wildlife surveys. Personally I could survey all the deer on an estate in a few evenings and get an pretty accurate idea of the population if there was a reasonably priced thermal camera setup that could pick up animals at 60 meters + distance.

FLiR make a brilliant hand held thermal camera at about £400-£500. It shows up animals fabulously in pitch dark. We use it for covert ops against cable thieves and vandals. It has a zoom function and can see for about half a mile, it can show heat as either white or various colours depending on their temperature.
At the drone show, The London Camera exchange we’re offerring a thermal camera that fits to any iPhone or iPad for £99 instead of £199. That could be more easily used for heat loss surveys and record the results on iPad/iphone.

Thanks Brian, do you know which model it is? Could it be drone mounted? I’ve got a wicked little FLIR camera for my old phone but I dont think it’d pick up beyond a few yards. Maybe I should rubber band it onto my drone and find out!

Cool! Is that an Impala? Or some kinds of plains game? Not an Oryx I think!
Yup, DJI went ahead and launched a new drone addition today, on what shall forever be known as GatwickGate
