Hi All,
Just wanted to share what I rigged up this weekend. My Seek Thermal just arrived and with a little MacGuyvering it took it's first maiden flight.
The P2V+ obviously has a 100 degree field of view and the Seek Thermal only has about 40 degrees, so it only captures part of the frame.

Some pointers for anyone who might try it in colder climates. You need to manually turn of the video for the Seek Thermal app to save the video. In colder climates the airflow from the props can cool a phone down to the point where it reaches it's thermal limits and shuts down, losing all your video both thermal and standard. I used a small hand warmer and some styrofoam wrapping to insulate the phone and it ran like a champ.
Enjoy!
