    Best camera for the money cheaper ones no good
    Bought a cheaper camera that actually looked like a toy no good at all so bought this one exactly what I needed can’t fault it. the picture over lay is really helpful

    Works as advertised
    Have had no problems but does take a little time to connect and initialise when inserted. Have found all the features straightforward to use for thermal imaging and the hardware is very responsive when traversing a large area with no discernible jitter. The battery life seems more than good enough going by the level meter in the app. Have used it around two houses so far and still had 50% left. The lightning connection is very solid and not fragile as i had feared before using it. Connects through the gap in an OtterBox protector using its extension mechanism. Good little carry case works with lightning extended after a little adjustment.

    Great buy.
    We bought this for a more in depth view of a drafty house and it was able to accurately pinpoint areas where cold was coming in for us to reseal or cover. The thermal images are easy to view and the app easy to install on our phone and tablet. Happy with it.

    Helped me find those cold spots in the home, and dropped my daily gas bill down from 14 a day to 4 a day…. so its already saved me more than I paid for the device… happy days

    Battery life could be a little longer… but for the size of it you can’t really complain.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersDiagnostic Thermal Imaging Tool - FLIR ONE PRO
    If you want to view into the world of infrared, this is the tool to use with your iphone. It requires IOS 14 or greater. The app, with iphone, shows, in excellent detail, images of heat traces and distinguishes hot/cold surfaces very well (white through to the blue spectrum). Tracing central heating pipework is useful. Looking for hot/cold spots is vital if there are issues with draughts, cold spot and air blocks in pipework.

    Looking at printed wiring boards for high temperatures in components is another use.

    You can record video/still images to the iphone for viewing later. All images are captured by the FLIR camera -NOT the iphone. The rechargeable battery will last around 60mins. High Recommended.

    Love this. It’s perfect to identify heat sources and locations. Also good to use if you ever have a water leak where you can detect where the hot water has gone in your ceiling and walls.

    Great camera for the price, app is slow and glitchy.
    For the price, it’s great to have the such a camera. Starting up however is boringly slow and I believe the app glitches often. Still very usable though.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersFLIR Edge Pro is amazing!
    I was worried as a number of the reviews are a bit negative – and it looks like they refer to different (less powerful) models. I’ve just received my FLIR Edge Pro, setup was super simple and the photos it takes are amazing!

    Can easily see some insulation issues that were picked up by a contract with a significantly more expensive camera. Examples attached. It seems to do a nice mix of visual plus infrared (though you can select one or the other).

    Camera setup is really easy, no instructions needed. Download app, turn on camera, allow app to connect to camera, and take pictures! I’ve not yet had to read the manual and everything is really intuitive.

    By default you can select 1,2 or 3 spots as well as highest or lowest spot to show the temperature of. It also has 1GB free cloud integration (FLIR Ignite) and you can re-edit / move the spots on there.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersSuperb tool for finding insulation problems in your house.
    It’s expensive I know, but trust me, it will find so many insulation issues in your house to fix that it’ll pay itself back. And the second hand values are quite high, so once you’ve finished you can sell it on.

    Battery life is poor and image quality is low, but you’ll get the idea quickly enough.

    Since I bought it I’ve completely insulated my bathroom, added insulation to various walls in my house, added underfloor insulation where I can, and so on. It’s a really good tool – the house is more comfortable now.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersJust about usable
    Resolution is probably OK, but not stellar. The single sample point is more restrictive than you’d imagine, the text is white and when you’re focusing on a hot object it’s really hard to read because the image is nearly white. The lack of a hottest and coldest point on the image is also a huge limit on functionality. Don’t get suckered in by the brand name, this is barely good enough.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersIts quiet good.
    Honestly I wasn’t going to buy one.. buti had a few uses for a reasonably good one and I have built one using a pi and mxl sensor. The quality is better. Not too sure I like the software and the watermark on every picture but easily removed. Easy to use but even with its adjustment, it doesn’t fit with rugged cases! It’s OK with normal/samsung cases. Overall? I got it with a prime deal. If it wasn’t discounted I probably would not have bought i

    It's awesome and very useful.
    It’s great for anything you need a thermal camera for. The pic shows the difference in temp between my UV/Heat Blocking privacy tint on the same window. Top is untinted, bottom is with the tint. There are tons of uses. Having a total of 3 custom measurement points as well as a “hottest” and “coldest” point, for up to 5 points, is really handy.

    The second pic is inside a closet, looking at the ceiling. If you want to know where your insulation is lacking, you will with this. I also use it for powder coating. It’s got too many uses to list here. If you need one, it’s a great item. Just make sure you get the correct model for your temp range. The cheaper one doesn’t go high enough for powder coating but it would be great for a home inspector.

    I like the superimposed outline of the surroundings
    The MSX Image Enhancement Technology generates an outline of the objects in the picture to help identify what it is you are looking at (example pic attached).

    Funny Story, I looked at the yard at night and saw a small hot spot in the yard and figured it was a mouse or small rat or something, so I was going to scare it away before the dogs got to it. I went out into the yard and before I could stop the dogs, they were with me. As I got closer to the hot spot, the dogs went ahead and got near the hot spot like they knew it was there but didn’t go after whatever it was. When I finally got there, I saw it was a fressh dog poop (no pic attached :).

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our Usershardware great, software is a let dow
    The camera is great, but the software puts a watermark on the image, and the ability to move the cross-hairs has disappeared in a software update. The software also overrides the orientation lock and rotates the screen anyway, except it doesn’t rotate the menus, so some thing are the right way up, and some are not.

    A FLIR device at a reasonable price.
    I bought this in November 2020 to improve my understanding of building heat loss. It has proved useful because I now have a small portable device that I can use to record building fabric and plumbing heat loss.
    While it is not a fully professional device it serves to provide knowledge which would other wise cost far more to obtain.
    I can record pictures to my phone to show when I explain issues to others. Before this device I was presuming how heat loss was occurring. Now I can see the evidence.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersTakes too long to load up
    For the price l would expect it to be much faster on loading up and also better battery life. If you don’t use it for a while it drains so when you come to use it, it’s dead.

    Beide eigentlich gut, aber ... und behalten habe ich dann doch die FLIR ONE Pro ohne LT
    Vor dem Hintergrund der immer bedrohlicher wirkenden Klimavernderungen sowie der stetig und jetzt auch massiv steigenden Energiepreise waren wir schon lange bemht, unser Altbauhaus durch geeignete Manahmen energetisch effizienter zu machen. Auenwrmedmmung und Tausch von Tren und Fenstern waren an dieser Stelle bereits sehr erfolgreich.

    Nun sind wir an einem Punkt, wo es immer schwieriger wird, verbliebene kleine, jedoch lstige Schwachstellen aufzuspren. Damit begann ich, mich fr Thermografie zu interessieren, empfand viele Angebote fr den begrenzten Einsatz als zu teuer und fand schlielich das Konzept berzeugend, dass eine Thermokamera, die sich den Aufwand fr Anzeige, Aufzeichnung etc. sparen kann, weil das alles ja in einem Smartphone ohnehin enthalten ist, sehr berzeugend. Fr eine Stand-Alone-Kamera gleicher Qualitt msste ich wohl den doppelten Preis ansetzen.

    Ich bestellte also zunchst diese FLIR ONE Pro LT und war sehr beeindruckt. Eigentlich erfllte es mit seiner Auflsung bei Probeaufnahmen alle meine vorerst erkennbaren Ansprche.

    Dann berkamen mich Zweifel, ob ich mit der etwas teureren Variante FLIR ONE Pro ohne LT nicht besser bedient wre, weil sie erweiterte Temperaturen zudem feiner auflsen kann. Ich bestellte diese ebenfalls und schickte die “LT” wieder zurck. Nicht weil die wirklich deutlich erkennbare Nachteile zeigte. Im Vergleich gleicher Aufnahmen musste ich wirklich sehr genau hinsehen, um qualitative Unterschiede festzustellen. Dennoch entschied ich mich dafr, die “Pro” zu behalten, weil ich unsicher war, ob ich diese sehr feinen Vorteile nicht irgendwann doch vermissen wrde.

    Bis auf diesen Punkt gilt meine Bewertung fr beide Gerte gleichermaen.

    Tatschlich fand ich nach und nach immer mehr ntzliche Anwendungen von Thermografischen Aufnahmen auch au0erhalb der blichen Suche nach Wrmelecks im Haus, wie z.B.:
    – Darstellung des Fllgrads von geschlossenen Regentonnen
    – Anzeige des Verlaufs meiner Perlschlauchbewsserung
    – Wrmeverlauf in Komposttonnen usw.

    Einen groen Vorteil bietet nach meiner Meinung das von FLIR patentierte MXS-Verfahren der berlagerung der Infrarot-Kamera mit einer “normalen” hher auflsenden zweiten Digitalkamera. Die Kombination bietet den groen Vorteil einer wesentlich besseren Orientierung im Bild.

    Nicht unerwhnt mchte ich allerdings einige negative Aspekte der Flir ONEs lassen, die fr mich vllig unverstndliche Einschrnkungen der Anwendbarkeit sind:
    – Schon der “HINWEIS – Nicht kompatibel mit …” im Angebot zeigt, dass der Kufer schon sehr viel Glck haben muss, ein passendes Android-Gert zu besitzen. Bis auf mein Huawai-P30-Smartphone konnte bei mir keines erfolgreich Kontakt mit dem FLIR aufnehmen, obwohl sich die App normal installieren und starten lie!
    – Die Benutzeroberflche ist etwas unbersichtlich und hat noch deutlich Optimierungspotential.
    – rgerlich ist zudem, dass keine Mglichkeit geboten wird, die Aufnahmen auerhalb der Androidoberflche zu bearbeiten (z.B. Farbpalettenwahl unter Windows). Die Matrix der Thermo-Informationen ist ja mit 80×80 bzw 160×120 recht klein und offenbar einfach im EXIF-Bereich der Bilddateien untergebracht. Diese sind ja nicht nur unter Android auswertbar.
    – Dass jede Aufnahme ein “FLIR”-Wasserzeichen ziert, ist schlielich wenigstens ein Schnheitsfehler.

    Gesamtergebnis: Fr mich etwas durchwachsen. Einerseits bin ich mit den Aufnahmeergebnissen zufrieden, andererseit bin ich sehr unzufrieden mit den genannten Einschrnkungen.

    This is my first one so it's hard to compare to others. I can see the heat tubing in my in-floor heating. I found a few places in my ceiling that had no insulation behind it. and I could see where behind a wall it was framed for a sliding glass door, the framing was letting more cold past than the insulation. you can see animals in the dark and the blended view mode is great for better interpreting what you're seeing. I would recommend it.

    Useful for home diy.
    Ideally use on a cold night to give best results when examining the outside of the house.
    Clearly shows which window seals were gone and that will need replacing.

    Wow! Didn't know I had so many issues in my home...however, i'm still under warranty and they are coming to put insulation in a number of places they totally missed. The piece of mind knowing my home "will be" properly insulated soon is well worth the price. Now I'm helping family, friends, and neighbors. Yep... it costs a bit... but was worth it to me...just to know the truth in my home.

    Seems to work fine, just be careful to ensure it is securely plugged in, will fall out otherwise.
    I’m getting some renovations done to my hope and am going to use it to ensure insulation is doing it’s job.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersDecent.. but next time I'll buy an all-in-one.
    Biggest pro: works great, totally satisfied from a functionality point of view.

    Biggest con: Battery life leaves a lot to be desired, but at least doesn’t drain the phone.

    Despite this.. the concern I still have, which didn’t occur to me til it arrived, is it needs FLIR’s Android app to work. Without that, it’s a 300 paperweight. I wish I’d bought something with some standalone firmware, that I can count on to work even if the App is canned.

    Takes a bit of time to get used to.
    Simple to use but slight confusing at first as you have more than one type of image available. Finding hot or cold spots is easy and on screen measurements are very helpful battery life is not brilliant but you can use it plugged in if need long use.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersLove this BUT
    EDIT: The replacement is even worse, off centre and wonky. Returning for refund. Gutted 🙁
    2nd Edit: Flir technical support came back to me again and fixed the issue, not sure why the first chap couldn’t do the same.

    Absolutely love what this can do, works mostly well on my Pixel 4a, I can see the hot water pipes in my walls and under my floorboards! Will try with wildlife at some point.
    BUT the FLIR One has 2 cameras, one thermal and one digital, allowing it to show a real time outline of what you are looking at. Unfortunately these are not aligned well, they are about a foot out at a distance of 3 metres. I rang Teledyne, they are very helpful but agreed that this needs returning as faulty. The apps are a little flakey too, probably work better if you buy the PRO version.
    BUT because I love this so much I have ordered a replacement, fingers crossed it will be better aligned. will update my feedback at a later date when the replacement arrives.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersOne thing that drove me crazy with this was that it kept disconnecting. I'd read reviews complaining about this but bought it anyway. Its actually a straight forward fix and I suspect not a Flir problem in the majority of cases. Clean out your charging socket on your phone with a needle. Mine was full of compacted belly button fluff and now the camera stays connected when I plug it in.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersAll 4 stars as too early to tell, but first impressions are good
    Either the camera is faulty or I’m well and truly heating the neighborhood and the company that did my cavity insulation 10 years ago did nowt and conned me. ( council contractor).
    If the pictures are true, I’m at a total loss of where to start. Need some pro help I think.
    Camera was easy to set up and use. Did not have to take case off. When I took pictures indoors could clearly see cold spots. Definitely starting with roof and working my way down. Not used the tools yet and want to see pics on PC but good camera.

    Although I had the right android build and right usb connection the FLIR app would not recognise my phone. Ulefone do a rugged version of my phone with a FLIR 1 camera built in,which helps confuse things. It works well on my son’s phone, a Samsung. Battery life is good. FLIR do ask you to try different things but in the end, I’m going for a refund.

    Da non sottovalutare.
    Registrazione del prodotto un p laboriosa, richiede del tempo, ma i vantaggi sono innegabili.
    Ci sono altri prodotti con risoluzione anche maggiore, ma i tools e l’app. (gratuiti) sono impagabili, infatti sfruttano il sistema professionale di Flir.
    Per chiarirsi le idee comunque un giro sui video disponibili in rete di grande aiuto.
    Naturalmente essendomi documentato prima, dopo aver atteso 1 ora per la carica della batteria, lo strumento stato subito produttivo.

    La prcision est pas trop mal, sur mon bed d’imprimante 3d 60.3 contre 60 mesur au thermomtre laser, qui a raison ? Mais bon 0.3 pour un amateur c’est trs honorable
    Au niveau des rglages c’est trs complet, changement de la grille de couleur, prise de photos ou de vido et surtout grce au logiciel Flir Thermal Studio en version gratuite on peut faire une analyse complte de l’image ainsi mettre plusieurs point de mesure de temprature, chose que l’on ne peux pas faire en live comme sur la version pro, mais de nouveau pour un amateur c’est dj norme.
