@Adamant_It Do you know if the discount code works for the the US Amazon site? It says "promotional code invalid" when trying to apply code.

One of the best videos on this product on youtube. Thanks for doing that comparison, it helped a lot to understand it better, especially for someone like me who hasn t had any thermal nor have used one before.

Plus the macro lens is so stunning! A whole new world at once! Thanks for the review.

Looks really good, but they changed the price from 226 to 299 pounds/euro. Not happy with these practices. And makes the reviewer look bad too. For 226 no doubt I'd buy it, but I hate these shady price hikes.

On March 21, 2014, I saw $299 on Amazon. The clarity in close-up detail is great. H Just seeing the bright red spot is sufficient. I do somewhat sense bias in this review. Not to mention the price is not what the reviewer stated. It's much higher, $20 off if it worked would still be higher than what was stated here.

Thank you for the nice BIG clear indications displayed at the begnning of the video that explain the sponsorship nature. Very much appreciated. Thanks for the great review too.

The hot spot was pretty clear on the Flir at 06:48 . The warm hand made it harder to see initially.

Yep. It was instantly recognizable at the initial 2 amp setting. You don't want to normalize it. Let the camera focus on the product, not your hand.

Red letter day when I see something new from you! Looking and sounding good you are, and here's hoping it stays that way.

The different colour palletes are useful for different situations. Like White hot is used for search and rescue or locating living things. The purple/orange is useful for electronics. If you can adjust the temperature range you can get even better detail. The problem with Flir and Seek is since both are American companies they are legally not allowed to export their better cameras such as the Lepton 24hz. Instead we get sensors like the Flir Lepton 8hz version like in your Flir One. Also, a Lepton 2.5 sensor has 80x60 resolution. The best Lepton 3.5 sensor is 160x120 resolution while the Infiray has 256x192. That in itself is a great advantage as resolution is the number one requirement when it comes to usability.

A tip for users of older (flir) Thermal Cameras: Turn off the optical overlay. Even with the lower thermal resolution, the pure thermal image makes more "sense" when diagnosing electronics. At least for me the displacement of the optical image creates more confusion than the added details helps. At least for me, turning the optical overlay off completely made my flir one way more usable for me.

Woow, im so happy that you did a review. I was looking for another model first ( UNI-T 260B) which is more expensive and possibly overkill for me. Seems like this iOS flir is what I need. Its very well priced in my region, around 100€ cheaper and based on your video it does the job for me. Thanks mate

Great detector, I have used it for electrical arcing and for pressure leaks and expect to use it for a lot more.

Thumb-Up for the User ID image.

You can use it with PC, too (like any Infiray camera).

Even though because of its cost it's not a product for me (i've used a thermal camera like 3 times), I have to say it's a massive improvement compared to my cat S60 phone which I picked up second hand for 90€. Maybe in the future when the price is lower. Interesting video though!

I have the P2 and really like it。I haven't used it for anything super useful but it is handy for finding drafts in the house

Been looking for a thermal camera for over a year now and was always hesitant about the phone connected camera. However after watching this I just picked myself up a Infiray P2 Pro for board repair. I thought it was neat that you can see the studs in your wall behind the drywall. Has to be an insulated exterior wall to detect the temperature differences.

Very impressive piece of kit. I still would have liked to see the unboxing

Seek compact XR coupled to an android tablet. I found because of the tighter field of view on the XR I found no need for a macro lens. Successfully pointed out a shorted cap on an iPhone board, good enough for me.

such a good review with actual in use testing Edit: "No unboxing, that's boring.", that's a based request from them.

thanks for info brother

Seems to be quite a good device, especially considering the size and price.

A good review but it is important to know how well the camera fits to the phone and if both iPhone and Android are supported (connectors and apps). Also, does the camera need the phone's protective cover to be removed so that it can be fitted? some products in the past were bad for this. Note: I have seen this reviewed on another channel.. Cheers,

That was an excellent and instructive video. Do you have to use it with a mobile phone, or will it work directly with a PC or Mac on the end of a USB cable? I note that the resolution is very limited - 256x192 so only 50k pixels - so I wonder how much a greater resolution would help?

FLIR's frame rate is limited to 9 fps or below by US export controls. Infiray does not share this restriction, so it will have an edge against new FLIR devices covered by the US controls. For more details, search for : Thermal Camera Export Restrictions infraredcameras

Does it have to do something with guns? Because why would they restrict a thermal, I think one comment said something about its only for ARMY when its above 9fps.

Nice IR camera. I was recently looking for an IR camera and I didn't find this model but found something else Sunshine Shortcam II.

I've got significant cheaper model T2L from Infiray and it is really useful. I can connect it to my pc using usb-c female cable.

I prefered the days of touchy feely method. Because most people (me included) watching theese totorials are beginners and do not have a thermal camera or the money to buy one.

another channel I follow, a car channel. just did the same review. he used it to diagnose a phantom power draw and a dead coil.

300 quid! There's nothing in my tool kit that even comes close to having cost that much. That just makes it too expensive for the hobbyist.

How good is the software? Eg. Can you export a set of images to a document and comment them all.. or is it a matter of exporting images, then editing and creating a document in separate software? ..looking at uses tat may be outside of electronics.. report writing.

FLIR bashing is not required here. A tricycle is being compared to a motorbike. All the features being mentioned as missing on the FLIR are available on the slightly more expensive FLIR ONE PRO. Granted, even versus the PRO, the Infiray does have better clarity.

6:50 With your old camera, the short was becoming easy to see until you put your hands in shot. Doesn't excuse the other failings though.

looks impressive, However price in the UK is £299.99 which is a huge jump from what you show in this video just 2 days ago. shame as now I will rethink and have to look thermal cameras a further, many thanks for the video :).

I've not spent time with a hand-held cam... I think it'd be more useful as a 'pick up and use', instead of having to open an app and stuff. But also the plug-in cams give you a flatter form factor, so it's easy to get up close...

it is the best thermal camera you can find for under $300

T3S 6.8mm Upgrade is worth it, I show some clips with it. (no audio)

I live in Australia and bought one based off your review so thanks.

For repairing work well?

Can you not use a warm pointy object and , while looking at the image, move the stick to the object of interest by looking at the image. When you than look directly at the circuit board, you can see at which component the stick points too? I have no idea if this is even feasible, but it was something that I was immediately thinking of if I were to try to identify the component.see for example the video at 11:34. You can 'warm' the pointy stick by holding it close to a cup of warm water/coffee, whatever is available.

Yea something like that would work. A screw driver or even tweezers would probably do it, anything that's shiny metal will reflect the heat rays from around the room, so will light up under the camera even if it's not hot.

I think the blended visible+thermal image that Flir do is a unique feature to Flir. However, I've honestly not missed the feature because the higher resolution of these newer cameras makes it way easier to see detail than before anyway.

The product lineup of Infiray is really impressive these days. I'm also a Flir user (Flir One Pro), but being jealous of what Infiray and others offer these days. I hope that Flir will at least catch up in software a little bit, but i'm looking forward to switch in the upcoming year as well. One very simple feature I also like in the Infiray eco system is the temperature alarm. As a side hobby I fly FPV Coptersand charging LiPo batteries after a heavy crash always feels a bit uncomfortable. Being able to just point the thermal cam on the lipo packs being charged with a set temperature alarm would be so helpful. As far as I have seen Infiray is offering that features in some of their apps, while Flir doesn't have it.

@@Adamant_IT I think some InfiRay cams can also be connected to a PC or? With Flir I've often the feeling that they don't care about their entry level line. They make big money with their cameras for the industry and government. When I've reported some bugs to the flir support it was sometimes very hard to reach them and their contact emails changed quite often like they changed the dev team behind the Android app. Lots of speculations from my side, but that's my feeling as a customer of them. They had a very annoying bug with new android versions that took them about a half year to fix for example. So much opportunities in software with such a piece of hardware, but they don't really make use of it. Luckily I got my flir one pro refurbished for around 200€. I wouldn't pay 400€ for it these days if I see what the competition offers around that price range.

Android phone only?

I wish my small time repair business earned me enough to be able to afford one of these thermal cameras and a proper tri-nocular microscope with double boom arm mount. I wouldn't have to turn away 40% of customers that come in with items that need microsoldering and/or thermal fault detection.

All those forks in the sink! I bet you just grab another fork rather than wash the one you already used 😄

why are you comparing the cameras from different sides of the board?

The us link is broken.

Do you know if the only difference between the one for Android and the one for iOS is just the connector/port? And nothing else specific built into the camera itself? Because the new iPhone 15 has usb-c now. So definitely I can’t buy the version that says it’s for iOS, because it shows the lightning port in the product images, and the new iPhones have usb-c now. However, the title of the usb-c version contains “Android”. Not sure if it has anything Android specific built in, or if it will work with an iPhone/iOS 🤔

Thanks for the prompt reply! In the meantime, I've noticed a comment (on the Amazon DE link), someone said the usb-c version doesn't work with iPhone 15. Not sure how tech-savy the person is, but perhaps it really doesn't work. Maybe the version for iOS/iPhone would work, with an adapter (lightning port to usb-c), but I would hate to buy it and then a few months later they come out with a firmware update to make the usb-c version work on iPhone :) Really bad timing to come out with lightning-port devices for iPhone, when iPhones just switched to usb-c :))

I have the InfiRay PX1 phone with embedded thermal camera (and one major problem I will mention at the end) and it has a blend feature to combine regular image with thermal, however it's not good at close range. The mode that you will find useful is PIP (Picture In Picture). There are some caveats, though: - You cannot attach a macro lens to it at all. - The power connector is very deep in and most of my Type C cables can't reach it. - The big problem is the software. Often times you may have to reboot because the last time you used the thermal imaging app it didn't release the device, so when you launch it again it says device is busy. It has the same problem with the regular camera as well.

IR camera and a thermal imaging camera are two extremely different things. The IR camera detects a very narrow spectrum of reflected infrared light. This is the so-called active IR system. The thermal imaging camera is passive, its made of an array of bolometric sensors and reacts to real heat emitted by objects.

Please refer to German customers as DE, nobody (in Germany at least) uses GE, maybe GER, but just go for the domain abbreviation as you did for everyone except Germany and Spain ;)
