FLIR TG165-X MSX Thermal Camera

FLIR TG165-X MSX Thermal Camera
The FLIR TG165-X helps you visualize the hot and cold spots that can indicate electrical faults, mechanical break-downs, or air and water leaks. This all-in-one, non-contact measurement and imaging tool displays temperature anomalies on screen, allowing you to inspect efficiently and pinpoint the source of problems faster than with a single-spot IR thermometer. See components clearly and even read labels thanks to FLIR patented MSX image enhancement, which adds visual details to full thermal images. The bullseye laser ensures you’re always targeting the right component for measurement while easy-to-use buttons and settings help you complete the job quickly and stress-free. With internal storage for up to 50,000 images and a rechargeable Li-ion battery, the FLIR TG165-X is ready to go right out of the box.

What is MSX?

MSX adds visible light details to thermal images
FLIR MSX (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) adds visible light details to thermal images in real time for greater clarity, embedding edge and outline detail onto thermal readings. Unlike image fusing (merging of a visible light and thermal image), MSX does not dilute the thermal image or decrease thermal transparency.
Thermal imagers with MSX capabilities actually have two cameras—a thermal imager and a visible light camera (i.e. a typical digital camera). Every time you take a picture, both a thermal image and a visible image are captured simultaneously. Built-in software extracts key visible image elements—outlines, words, numbers, and other high-contrast edge details–and adds them to the thermal image. This helps give the image definition and makes it easier to tell what you’re looking at.

Works great. Takes time,getting used to the auto,take feature
Bought for a project and my engineer took it home and took thermal pics of all kinds of silly things around his house. Kids, dog, car, washing machine, wife. Nothing was safe from his photos.
use for finding temp differences and warm images in vehicle wiring, indicating resistance areas to help streamline diagnostics.
The screen is a decent size, it’s clear and the quality is good. Fast boot, takes about 7-10 seconds and there’s plenty of options in the menu including calibration type features and a range of difference heat map modes.
I tested the temperature with a boiling kettle and it’s very accurate. The unit itself feels sturdy as well and comes with a MicroSD card for saving images which can be done by simply pulling the trigger.
There’s also a laser beam option for precise measuring, but you get a target overlay in the screen anyway so I never use the laser – but could be handy if in a tight spot where you can’t see the screen and you could use the laser and pull the trigger to take a screenshot.
