2021-7-25 The one about the FLIR M300C

[@fernypetrilli]

Hello there , complimenti for Your review. I bought few weeks ago the Flir M232 for my boat because was looking for sapete during night cruising BUT i was surprised how useless it is... M232 is good to enter/exit from harbour or during night anchor BUT for night cruising i'm not satisfied as my eye saw a big ostacle almost one minute before was visibile on flir monitor.... i need some5hing that is better than my eye duri g night navigation.... Do U think M300C will risolve my problem? Thanks for Your help

while the M232 is a good camera for what it is designed for, it is truly no comparison to the M300 camera.

Please post video of comparables, we all are waiting 😊, thanks

I am not sure If I should go for the M300C or the thermal M332?. Will the M300C will work in total darkness in the middle of the sea?

[@navtronicsmarinegroup]

We will have a side by side comparison coming up this spring of these exact two products! In the meantime, in the case you are running in 100% pitch black without a single source of light, meaning no stars, no moon, not even a small light bar like a razor light, than the nod currently would go to the M332. Now having said that, I realize that is a rarity and personally would still rather the M300C and a small flood light like a Lumitec Razor -vs- M332 . But stay tuned for some real world experience and comparisons this spring.

​@@navtronicsmarinegroup Thank you so much for your help 👍. Will be looking forward for the comparison.

Nice Review!! Would be cool, if we saw a video with the boat actually rocking side by side, like in open water..

[@navtronicsmarinegroup]

Thanks for your input, we will see what we can do to get some additional footage this coming season!

@@navtronicsmarinegroup Thanks!! I know many out there are thinking to buy it but scared about the roll part, this don have axis gyro right??

Hi Gents, great video, I did install the M323 flir thermal Camera but the video flickers a lot. any advice, please?

[@navtronicsmarinegroup]

We would have to know a little more about the system and how it was installed if they used a network connection or analog style, also what system it is going into before we could offer any advice also would need to confirm which model FLIR you have did you mean a 232 or 332 possibly?

[@winstonsmith4003]

I assume it doesn't interfere with the radar given it's mounting location?

[@navtronicsmarinegroup]

Correct that location works fine with the radar location

[@ericvargas2482]

Thanks for this video. Any issues with the camera placement on the top of the boat. More specifically, any issues with radar interference from the camera?

[@navtronicsmarinegroup]

In a perfect world the radar and FLIR are on different planes, however in the real world that can't always happen. There are obvious trade offs with this set up but it has negligible effect on the radar in day to day use

[@ericvargas2482]

@@navtronicsmarinegroup thank you! Great videos

How good it is to estimate choppy water ahead of thunder storm infront of our vessel? Since it has 30x zoom can it be used to estimate whether it is safe to go thru the thunderstorm or just avoid the storm altogether

[@navtronicsmarinegroup]

This is a fairly broad questions with a lot of variables depending on type of boat, height of camera off the water, etc. the best devise to truly track a storm would be a radar unit.

does the “augmented reality” functions of the M300C work with Garmin or just Raymarine?

[@navtronicsmarinegroup]

Unfortunately at this time the augmented reality feature is limited to just the Raymarine world
