    Today I researched IR systems and how they work.

    This video explains how various forms of "invisible light" can be beneficial given the correct equipment:

    I also found this brochure for the FLIR Quark

    After doing a bit of research on some RC forums, it appears that the Quark MSRP is around $4000, and the Tau MSRP is around $3300.


    Here is a video of a drone flying FPV at night with a FLIR sensor:
