FLIR JCU-4 Premium Joystick

Apr 15, 2025

FLIR, global leader in high-performance marine thermal-imaging systems, has announced the launch of the new FLIR JCU-4 remote control, offering precision camera control and an elevated, yet simplified user experience.
 
Providing confident control of FLIR marine thermal and visible cameras, the FLIR JCU-4 remote control is designed for FLIR marine cameras and is compatible with the M232, M300, M400/M400XR and M500 series, as well as legacy models. It offers pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, and control of all additional camera functions with an ergonomic keypad and responsive joystick control.
 
Designed by mariners, for mariners the JCU-4 is a meaningful upgrade for those who actively navigate using thermal technology and require dependable and intuitive control of their FLIR camera. The rugged, low-profile three-axis joystick is mounted with a 2.9-inch color LCD and keypad, to simplify camera operation and offer easy access to the joystick setup menus. A dimmable color LCD and back-lit keypad preserves the operator’s vision during nighttime operations. The JCU-4 can be easily configured with intuitive pairing between FLIR marine cameras and marine monitors or chartplotters. Three custom keys can be pre-programmed for quick access to the most used user-defined camera functions.
 
The FLIR JCU-4 is available for $1,699 USD. To learn more about the JCU-4 or FLIR’s full line of products, visit www.flir.com/applications/marine/.
