ViewPro AT50 Thermal Gimbal Camera

Quick Answer: The ViewPro AT50 is a thermal-only 3-axis drone gimbal built around a 640x512 uncooled thermal imager (12 micron) behind a 50mm long-range lens, with onboard AI that automatically detects and tracks people and vehicles. It detects vehicles out to roughly 6.4 km and people to roughly 2 km. Priced at $6,299 with the Viewport quick-release mount. Limited stock, request a quote to confirm availability. The ViewPro AT50 is the most accessible long-range thermal payload in ViewPro's lineup. By focusing on a single high-quality thermal channel, rather than pairing it with an EO zoom camera, the AT50 delivers serious detection range at a fraction of the cost of a multi-sensor unit. The 50mm lens reaches far beyond standard short-lens thermal cameras, and the uncooled 640x512 detector resolves clean heat signatures across the 8 to 14 micron long-wave band. An onboard AI module detects and locks onto people and vehicles automatically, tracking up to ten targets at once with a detection rate of 85 percent or better, so a single operator can run thermal overwatch while flying the aircraft.

What the AT50 Is Used For Search and Rescue. The 50mm long-range thermal lens lets SAR teams sweep wide corridors and pick out heat signatures at distance, while AI tracking holds a subject in frame once detected. Security and Perimeter Patrol. Automatic human and vehicle detection turns the aircraft into an active thermal sensor that flags and follows movement day or night. Firefighting and Hot-Spot Detection. Uncooled long-wave thermal imaging identifies hot spots and temperature anomalies through smoke and low light. Where It Fits in the ViewPro Lineup The AT50 is the value entry point for long-range thermal. Step up to the A30T-50 ($14,699) when you also need a 30x optical zoom EO camera alongside the thermal channel, or to the A30TR-50M ($19,599) when you need EO, thermal, and a 5km laser rangefinder in one payload.
