Nice looking product Bob.

A couple of suggestions for your video.

1.) A side by side comparison videos of the FLIR to bare
eyeballs(standard camera) would be very enlightening. The current video
doesn't really tell me what the advantage is to the FLIR.

2.) Dump the music. I hate that stuff. A soft spoken monologue of what
is in view interlaced with technology points, comparisons to the
competition, advantages for flight ops, etc.. would engage the viewer
instead of just wanting to shut off that damn noise.
