Could a Thermal Image Camera or mod be done to the Mavic?

Im new to this and not mechanically inclined but fascinated by you folks and your stories and thoughts.

Thanks in advance...

The Mavic camera is not detachable, so there would be no way to attach such a camera. You could do that with an Inspire 1, but it'll cost you about $13K.

Thermal cameras are not cheap.

This one, unveiled this week will be much cheaper than 13k, I believe it'll be less than $4k plus an uplift for the thermal camera...

You can buy thermal camera modules for mobile phones and then duct tape the phone to the drone. Or make a 3d printed mount. I prefer duct tape. Plenty of info out there about it. Dr google will help

Thermal Expert Q1 connected to a C.H.I.P SBC and USB shared over WiFi, standalone package weighing about 100gr.

Obviously has the drawback of Wi-Fi's short range and risk of interference with the aircraft's controller but could be enough for some purposes. The Mavic probably isn't the most appropriate platform to put that on though.
