    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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersIf 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.

    Picked this up on a smoking black friday sale. It might not be as accurate or have all the features of better models, but for the part-time DIYer it’s perfect. I use it for pinpointing poorly insulated walls & ceilings, and door drafts in the winter. Would probably work great for identifying over-heating wheel bearings (boats, RVs, utility trailers). Super easy to set up and use. Battery life seems good too.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersI 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.

    FLIR Edge Pro is amazing!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIt’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.

    Love the fact that I don’t have to take my phone out of my case to use the Flir. If I didn’t have a thick phone case I would have bought a cheaper thermal camera. The digital overlay is waisted for what I use it for but I guess someone might find it handy. I like it because I can see different layers of fluids inside tanks.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersResolution 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.

One for apple and one for android, so pay attention when ordering. The picture quality is great, you can see for many feet the accurate heat difference of objects. The picture I posted is of an engine miss-firing on cylinder one, which is the far left coil. You will notice is is slightly difference in heat signature because it is not firing allowing it to be cooler than the others. So many uses it is worth just having for fun.

    I love how it superimposes the thermal data and colors over a normal light image. This makes it extremely easy to see exactly where my temperature colors are coming from. You can also change the color schemes to match your specific needs to highlight certain aspects of the temperature information.

    This tool is great for seeing where your cold or hot air is escaping, where water leaks are, warm blooded animals hiding in your backyard, all kinds of stuff! Sometimes a little bit of understanding of how to interpret, or help get, thermal data is helpful, but this is pretty simple to use. I highly recommend this thermal camera!

    Extremely good tool for the money!

    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: 10 From Our UsersEDIT: 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.

    Love this BUT

    I had used an earlier model of a FLIR IR camera for a few years, the image quality was too poor to identify hot components clearly on an SMD PCB.

    I have 1 recommendation, look at the picture of my camera in its case, you will see I have cut foam away where the usbc is, this stops you having to retract the USB every time you put it back in the case, also you will see i have removed foam where the switch is, this stops the button being pressed when your putting it back in the case and the battery going flat, I’ve not charged mine for about 3 months and I use it about 2 minutes a day 5 days a week.

    Golden Review Award: 29 From Our UsersEver buy one of those crappy little $20 drones that you have to charge forever only to be able to use it for like 7 minutes? Well the battery on this thing appears to be similarly lame. First off the directions for this thing absolutely suck and may as well not even exist. They tell you to charge the thing for an hour before using it which seems to imply that it will be fully charged at that point, right? Guess again! I’m still not sure exactly how long it takes to fully charge yet. Another thing is that they don’t really tell you what any of the lights on this thing actually indicate. Sometimes they’re orange, sometimes they’re green. Sometimes they flash in seemingly random rapid bursts (which usually can’t mean anything good is happening) and sometimes they’re solid. They don’t even tell you how you can tell it is fully charged. I’m assuming that happens when the green charging LED finally turns off but I don’t no for sure because they didn’t bother to mention it in the instructions!! Even those crappy little $20 drones tell you that much, albeit in broken English.

    Other than that it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t mention that this thing has pretty good image quality and seems to work well but I’ll probably end up returning it because of my lack of confidence in the battery life and charging method especially after reading all the negative reviews related to how these things fail which is usually battery related. $400 may be relatively cheap for this type of product but that doesn’t make it sting any less if it only ends up working for a few weeks or months.

    UPDATE: So, in fairness, it looks like the first device I got may have had a defective battery or something like that. I sent it back to Amazon for replacement and the new one provides more realistic reporting of the remaining battery life and actually charges to 100%. Thank you Amazon!!!

Refresh rate seems slow but that’s the case with all thermal cameras costing less than 20,000! Image quality and ease of use make this a great bit of kit. It is essentially the same sensor and features as the FLIR E6 which is a 2000 camera. Make sure you download the FLIR ONE app and the FLIR Tools app. The latter does some post processing and let’s you generate a range of different PDF reports that you can email straight from the app!!! The attached image is showing rainwater penetration through the outside wall of a Victorian house (defective rainwater pipe). Brilliant for building diagnostics.

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersSo far I am very impressed with this product. I did my research before as it was an expensive purchase and I am glad I went with this one. I have used other thermal cameras in the past and have not been impressed but the quality of the images on this unit is very impressive. I think the stand out feature is the face it blends a actual picture with a thermal image so you keep the importance information like labeling on a fuse board. I am impressed by the accuracy of the temperature and the fact you can make changes to the image after the photo has been taken allowing you today choose the best colour setting or move the temperature point.

    It’s expensive bit of kit but when you compare it to the equivalent spec camera it’s actually quite cheap. For this kind of price you wouldn’t be getting very good images.

    I have highy expect this will be getting lots of uses at work been an electrician both diagnosis of faults and when doing electrical safety checks and will make use stand out from the others not using this technology.

    Also a nice added point is the USB c connection is extendable so it fits on even with my large case something I was concerned about before purchasing.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThis isn’t a product I own but I have seen it in use, I was so impressed by it I thought I should share my experience.

    In the ground floor of my house we have underfloor heating right through the kitchen, dining room and adjoined living area. It’s the type of underfloor heating that works with pipes and hot water (like a radiator). We love the underfloor heating but one morning we came downstairs to a pool of water, after mopping it up we realised it was coming from under the skirting and realised it was the underfloor heating. I rang a couple of heating engineers that I had in my phone.

    The first came out and explained that the leak could be anywhere under the oak floor or tiled kitchen and dining area, the water would just be finding its way out through the route of least resistance. The solution would be to pull up the floor bit by bit to find the leak but it could mean worst case taking all the floor up. He could fit me in a week later.

    The second had this Flir device with him attached to his phone, starting from a dry floor he powered on the underfloor heating, it was possible to see the hot water filtering through and filling up the massive network of piping. Faint at first but clearer after a couple of minutes we could then see where the leek was coming from, the heat signature grew as the water left the pipe, it was like adding cordial to water the way you could see the heat disperse. I never did get a reason why the leak had occurred but two hours later it was fixed and the two boards that had to be lifted were down again.

    I didn’t know technology like this was available to add to an iPhone!, I don’t think I’d rush out and buy one but for this job along it would have paid for its self as ripping up all my flooring would have been a costly nightmare!

    2. The Flir app. Not much in the way of instructions, and although the hardware is hardy, plug in and play . . . very straightforward, we would have benefitted from a Quickstart guide that covered how to get the most out of the camera screen. Most people would be able to work it out as there is a Help guide on the app: we didn’t bother because Flir’s resolution wasn’t fit for our purposes. There is a torch/flash on the Flir app. When we were downloading the Flir app (which had a 1star rating), we also downloaded a couple of other compatible apps that had 4-5star ratings that were also advertised on the Flir app. We gave ourselves 2 minutes per app to figure them out and couldn’t do it: they may be out of date.
    3. How it works with an iPhone. So the camera can be attached to the phone to face either direction which is great. We had to remove the case for it to fit our iPhone . . . and the phone felt VERY vulnerable in the locations we wanted to use it. Obviously you could buy a new phone case that is compatible with Flir. The other thing was that photos taken using the Flir camera button did not capture ALL the information (e.g. the temperature gradient) on the screen at the time so we ended up doing screen shots using the iPhone home and on/off button. This was actually quite tricky as you had to make sure your hand did not block the Flir, or that you didn’t click the phone into the lock screen (happened a lot). The Flir itself is robust: we wouldn’t recommend changing how it attaches to the iPhone.

    Despite the issues, we were impressed with the fact that you could do this kind of thing with a mere phone. Maybe a future version with more resolution would suit us: at the moment though, we have decided to splurge on a full handheld unit with a higher resolution.

    In the end we decided to splurge a bit more on a more powerful non-phone version and so sent this for refund.

    I have the iOS version of the FLIR One Pro. It works well as does the software. Please ensure you read reviews for the product you are interested in buying – I think the iOS version is stable and offers lots of neat functionality.

    There’s not enough info with the unit though. Initial registration was straightforward and didn’t feel like the bind other users report. I plugged the One in to charge. The charge light glued green when fully charged, flashes before that.

    I liked that FLIR Tools now has a version on iOS, so I don’t need to transfer images to my PC before analysis. Great to analyse afterwards to discern temperature. So far I haven’t found out how to lock the scale – on some of my pics, the scene looks like there’s lots of variability (lots of colour) but in fact there are only 1 or 2 degrees between specific spots. Sometimes it would be better to have only the big changes shown.

    But overall a great product. So glad I read the iOS reviews before buying this – I had considered I’d need to get a C3, have saved 200 by not needing to do that!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis camera is very easy to use offering simple but very effective functions alongside the downloadable “Free” App. I used it to find a cold spot in my utility room. A broken seal in the UPVC door panel was the issue which I would never had found without this camera’s cold spot feature. I found it is also useful for checking water flow in pipes which helped spot a black spot in a U bend under the sink in my kitchen – result was some trapped debris which over time would have become smelly. A great device for both home users and professionals wjo would easily get daily usage and some big return on the investment in a short space of time.

    Very handy with accurate readings

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI bought this product as I am currently in the process of doing up a house I have just bought. When you are doing a lot of work yourself this product adds piece of mind to the job you have done so for example, you may find a room with a draft that you feel is unexplained so you simply go round the room with your thermal camera and quite quickly identify the source. You can then either tackle the issue yourself or employ someone but when it is done you can easily check the work.

    I have used this product to check windows, doors, insulation in the attic, radiators, electrics and even the cat flap, I can even check how hot the water in my bath is before I get in it. I have also had fun with this product taking thermal images of my friends and family and it has even helped me find the cat out in the garden at night.

    In response to those that say this product has limited uses and is too expensive, well all a screwdriver does is unscrew things and open tubs of paint but we still need them and in terms of the price, you will save money by not having to call people out to solve these issues over years. I have also lent mine to friends and family so have saved them money too. Those who say there are limits too this product simply haven’t discovered it’s full capabilities.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is a very interesting product. Being able to see in infra-red allows you to see things like clogs in pipes, drafty points in your house or electrical circuit hot spots.

    This clever little tool just plugs into the base of your phone, install the app and then away you go. The thermal image just shows up on your screen, similar to those Predator movie images you probably remember from the 80’s. Sensitivity is quite good, and images produced are high enough resolution to be able to see most things quite clearly.

    For most people this is just a little toy, but it could be quite useful for Electrician, Plumbers and Builders.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFlir comes with cable, hard case and what looks & feels like a gift box. Battery is built in and needs charging prior to use. There are no instructions with this device but you can access a video once you have installed the Flir App from ITunes store (free) and there are other useful apps that work with this too but you may need to pay for some of these which are not too costly am pleased to say.

    When taking pictures you can view the original photo alongside the thermal version. All the controls are used from the iphone such as timer, video, time lapse, colour temp, colour palette etc.

    A very useful invention which is useful if for say you are a DIY person for starters as it can be used for various jobs like detecting pipes in walls, metal detector and mains etc, checking blocked pipes in the toilet etc. It will fit in to you iPhone with the case on or you can extend the plug by a turning wheel on the camera to adjust the height to fix any problems without having to remove your iPhone case. a very useful product that will save you time, money and convenience using it for all sorts of useful jobs.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI have just received delivery of my FLIR One Thermal imaging camera. The product is nicely packaged in a small cardboard retail outer. Inside here is a neat box with an instruction manual, the camera, a carry case and a charging cable. The manual asks you to download the FLIR app which is on the iOS store and is simply called “FLIR One”. I downloaded this and registered. You need to verify your email before it will allow you into the settings. The first items I tested this out with were my cup of coffee and the windows. The purpose in which I purchased this item is to spend time seeing where the heat is escaping from my house. This will save me time and money in replacing windows, doors or whether it’s purely draft excluders I need. I’d be very interested in seeing if this would work with cooking! So far I’m pleasantly surprised with this camera and cannot wait to get using it around the house. As I’m a home user this will give me lots of features, I’m sure in the hands of a professional this would be a fantastic product to use in the trades of a plumber, electrician etc.
