Does the Macic Pro have have thermal imaging.?

After market ones and brackets to attach ar available.

Reading one of the reports (possibly in other thread/s here), it said the Police drone arm flew these, yest in same article it said they had to borrow the drones from interior ministry (or such).
Was confusing that part, like they didn't have their own ?
Or maybe they didn't have flir, which would be hard to imagine, one of the best tools they could own on a drone.

Not that it really matters, but reading several articles translated from French and viewing several videos, it appears the aerial views were from Mavic Pros flown by the police. In one video, a female in a vest marked Police is operating a Mavic controller. Some of the videos have the logo of the Pompiers de Paris (Paris Fire), some have the logo and words of the Interior Ministry and some say "Images: Pompiers de Paris, Ministere de l'Interieur."
Good operational video which shows the police operator(s):

The fire department also used a 5,000 lb tracked robot to fight the fire from inside. There is video from that floating around, also.

This article is was written by a reporter at the command post which says they were police Mavic Pros. The only mention of the Matrice 210 was that it's another drone made by DJI, not that it was used.
The Chinese manufacturer DJI has confirmed that it was two of their drones, Mavic Pro, which had come into action under the leadership of trained telepilots. They have the advantage of being equipped with high-definition cameras to identify areas where the fire spreads.

In its range of drones for professional rescuers, DJI also has the M210 Matrix equipped with a 4K camera and a thermal camera that produce a double view to identify from the sky the hot spots after extinction. fire.


YouTube has a number of videos of the Paris firefighters testing different sUAS, not all DJI.

Borrowed from police. Who could've predicted the fire department of Paris would have a need for drones!
