FLIR ONE Pro LT - High resolution Thermal Imaging Camera for Android Smartphones (USB-C). Not compatible with iOS Devices

This has been an invaluable tool for diagnosing issues in my Lincoln Navigator and at home. It’s incredibly useful for pinpointing electrical faults in the vehicle, helping me identify problem areas quickly. I also used it to detect water intrusion in my house, and it was spot-on in locating leaks. Another great use has been checking the insulation in my chicken coop, ensuring it’s properly sealed for temperature control. This device is versatile, accurate, and easy to use—definitely a must-have for troubleshooting!

Great device to have in the home. When demonstrating to my son, I actually identified where insulation had fallen away from wall to cathedral ceiling. Finds fresh pet spots on carpet or any other misplaced/unexpected water. lacks temperature differential/resolution of commercial units, but for home use it really can't be beat

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.

Love it, works well, image is clear, app actually works. Bought on sale and saved a ton.

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've used Flir handheld cameras, and they are great. I was happy to find a compact Flir to use with my Android phone...however have struggled a lot with getting the device to work properly. I cannot rely on it to connect when I need it. It seems to have a mind of it's own. I've charged completely, rotated the swivel to ensure it's fully connected into my phone (even removed my phone from its case), yet more times than not, I cannot get it to connect. When I do get it to connect, works fine for my use. The other down side is that to take a "normal" photo with the phone its connected to for comparing with the infrared photo, you have to disconnect from the Flir software/app, then it's Russian Roulette if it lets you reconnect. I'm going to find a different version that I can take photos separately. Tried for months to make it work. Great when it does, but just too unreliable.
