Thermal Camera Pan Tilt mod (Flir Scout + Golight)

thingiverse

I can see trough the darkness now! Happy owner of a Flir Scout camera allways wondered using it handfree at night in the countryside. All of the PT camera around are truly expensive! Got once into this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFKxmfrv4DY and took some inspiration... Modification of the Golight device I developed is quite easy and doesn't in any way reduce it's original function. It only adds scout's weight on the side which seems bearable. Flir camera is firmly attached to the Golight and is preserved in its waterproofness. Video out is taken from the hot-shoe (also 5V will be added). If you feel uneasy about safety of your camera I provided two tracks to add two rubber bands. Added a switch on the light bulb side to keep it Off while operating the thermal camera alone and turning it ON only when needed. I developed the hot-shoe taking inspiration from Cademia (published no Sep 30 2016 on youmagine):http://www.youmagine.com/designs/video-out-adapter here you can buy the original one:http://www.cademia.ro/produse/ ... I'm gonna add also contacts for 5V power in the future Added lens protector and viewer protector.

Have fun and safe nightseeing, and LIKE if you do! P.S. The video as I stated is not made by me, but with a Cadillac Flir. Don't know why but, as I linked it in the summary, it appears between the thing's images.
