Nice little camera has been handy checking conditions of bee hives in the winter and cold spots around the hose that need more insulation

Increíble

Tive problemas técnicos com o produto, que foram muito bem resolvidos pela empresa.

Based on reviews, I wasn’t sure if this was up to the task of locating in floor radiant heat lines, but it did an excellent job! The only diffference between this version and the next pricier one is the temperature range detected. For our application, this was sufficient, but for serious commercial grade electrical or electronics work, you would want to buy the next step up. This unit seems ideal for residential applications and would be excellent for performing energy audits or home inspections. Only downside is that battery life is short, I get less than two hours of use out of it on a full charge, so you need to be quick and snap photos or take videos for later reference.

I have used this for the last 6-7 months. I will say past couple months it has trouble connecting to my iPhone. I have a 12pro. But other then sometimes taking 10 min to connect to my phone it’s awesome. Great for the price. I highly recommend this brand. I have used knock off brands and they other brand that connects to iPhone. Non of them find the sweet spot like a flir can. I have prob almost a hundred pictures I’ve taken with this Flir and saved to my iPhone. That’s prob my favorite part so I can send what I see to the customer. Also worked well checking to see which hives have made it through the winter as seen in the first photo. Middle hive survived and the other outside two died. In conclusion I’d say no other brand in this price range compares. Get a Flir.

The product was good overall . I really liked the way seller empathatically dealt with my queries and concerns. I will definitely rate the seller as best

Waste of money

I bought this item as an experiment, as there was a number of times when I needed a heat camera in non-professional settings. After doing some research, this is the product I selected. Overall it does not disappoint.* Setup: relatively easy, though it requires downloading the Flir app.* Ergonomics: very good—it fits easily into the phone's USB port, and does not make the phone significantly bigger or bulkier. There is a wheel that fastens the camera so it doesn't fall off.* Packaging and handling: the little camera case is neat and looks professional, but the camera and case are built together in such a way that the easiest way to put the camera in the case is by putting a finger on the lens – a small but annoying design oversight. I've had to clean the lens basically every time.* Picture quality: be aware that infrared/heat cameras are not mainstream products, so the amount of R&D that goes into them is small. Therefore, even the best cameras have a very low resolution. Perhaps today infrared cameras are at the point that "normal" digital cameras were 25–30 years ago. Having said that, this camera has a good enough resolution to perform basic tasks like detecting leaks. We have a couple of decades to wait until infrareds can be used for photography too.

Battery last long enough for my need and can be charge with any kind of charger during use to extend battery life. Really useful to look for place you need to upgrade your insulation or air leak.I'm a general contractor and use it to inspect houses and really happy so farHighly recommend

I purchased this model wondering just how useful it would be in my broadcast engineering and electronic repair work. I have been more than pleasantly surprised with its overall performance and versatility. Adding a couple of accessories (a 6' USB extension cable and a tripod-mountable cell phone holder) allows me to "tether" the camera via the USB extension cable up to 6' away from the phone so that I can keep the camera stable and stationary while fooling with the settings on the phone and in the FLIR app (like positioning the temperature display spots/zones, aligning the infrared image to the digital camera image, and so forth.) Using my "tether" method also makes it much easier to get the camera itself into relatively tight locations (such as inside broadcast transmitters) while having the controlling cellphone in a more convenient location for checking the camera's view, adjusting the settings, actually shooting and reviewing images, etc.You could spend up to several $K and get much higher resolution, more features, etc. But I have found that many of the negative reviews of this camera can be attributed -- at least in part, if not lartely -- to user technique. I highly recommend that anyone purchasing one of these cameras with the intent of using it for more than a fun toy visit FLIR's website and read up on infrared thermography techniques and become a more knowledgeable user. There are tricks (such as using electrical tape, "white out," spray foot powder (yes, you read that right), etc. on shiny, metallic and certain other surfaces/items to control "emissivity" and thermal "reflectivity" (a very critical topic to understand if you want to avoid trying to figure out and resolve "hot spots" which appear in your IR images but don't really exist, etc.I have to say I'm more than pleased with this camera. In fact, in a matter of seconds it recently helped me discover that one of two internally mounted cooling fans on a very expensive broadcast transmitter had failed -- without even having to shut the transmitter down or open it up (see the photo included in this review.) The transmitter had a history of blowing amplifier modules which cost between $2K and $3K. I'm the third engineer who was still trying to determine why that was happening. Now that we know the transmitter is only flowing 1/2 the amount of intended cooling air through its cabinet, I'm pretty sure the previously inexplicable failures have been caused by excessive heat due a fan which has probably been dead for a long time. Preventing the loss of just one of those amplifier modules alone represents at least a ten-fold return on the investment I made in this camera, when you factor in parts cost, labor, down-time, travel to perform the repair, etc.At the workbench and in the field, this camera has already saved me a LOT of time, money, and head-scratching. I'm sure I'll end up purchasing one of FLIR's higher-end, more expensive IR thermal cameras in the future, but I have to admit this one is performing well above what I expected for the price and its overall usefulness is really quite impressive.
