Seems like the low pixel ones are starting to get to the point where a serious DIYer could buy one if they thought they would use it on more than one job a year.
Borescopes are like $25 now, so I have hope for the thermal cams.
The FlirOne certainly is. >work in APT maintenance >Company buys these for the dozens of properties they have across the US >Neither I, nor any of my co-workers can get it to function properly with our phones >The FlirOne app is required to use the camera >For android devices, you must have android 12 or newer for the app to even show up on the google play store >One guy with an android 10 device gets it work a single time in the office by using an old APK he found online >He can't get it to work when he's documenting an actual water leak >company is bitching that people aren't using the thermal cameras >I'm the only one including thermal pictures in incident reports since I have my own Klein camera
Pretty sure whoever was in charge of purchasing the FlirOnes did an amazon search and chose the first one that came up because they're cheap
It's sad that most decisions on organizational level are made by people who are clueless on the subject. And instead of admitting and asking they pretend to know because they don't want to seem incompetent and risk losing their job.
ulefone makes phones with pretty decent ir cameras.
this was taken with an armor 9. i've had it a couple years now, so i'm sure whatever they have now is better.
Well no shit it's from China. How else would their shit be so cheap? This entire point of this thread is asking for a cheap Chinese thermal imaging camera...
I think gps chips are EAR, but you have the right idea.
EAR = mixed use, like a microwave that could go on a nuclear submarine
ITAR = mostly military use, like a rifle scope
Sanctions = no export at all, neither civilian nor military use
My favorite Canadian, Matthius Wandel played with pic related on YouTube. It's pretty good for $300. I thought about gutting one and turning it into a rifle cope scope for a tenth the price.
Thermal imagers have trouble seeing through glass, so your scope might be opaque to it. Also, consider the effect of the recoil on your sensors.

Forgot to specify, this is for exports from the USA to other countries. ITAR doesn't cover imports.
I want my bathroom mirror to have one of these with shitty stero optical cameras so it can do on the fly editing all thermal shots line up. brush my teeth get a quick thermal scan use vision zoom and estimate my heart rate do color correction and suggest vitamins for the day display other neat shit on the mirror like weather family group text thread, bitches.
Not sure how to do blood pressure.
take the thermal scans like a week or more apart per shot make a shitty gif for my doctor to highlight health concerns.
Fuck your complex education I got a picture with a growing warm spot fix it.
You can get one for $150 with low resolution, that's pretty cheap.
all I see is memes
life is a meme, or to quote Shakespeare
"memes memes memes"
>all I see is memes
Damn it’s rough in Yurop

The 'plug directly into your phone' ones are shit.
The FlirOne certainly is.

I was.cruising around on vevor the other day and saw they have a thermal imaging camera. Had good reviews on there...
>vevor
the sticker they put on 90% of all exported items nowadays?
that is not a brand, its a synonym for "Made in prc"
Well no shit it's from China. How else would their shit be so cheap? This entire point of this thread is asking for a cheap Chinese thermal imaging camera...
Vevor is clearly a brand.
In the same way that XQGCWC is a brand, they just need some letters to put next to the name to sell it on amazon.
It is illegal because of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 just like GPS chips have baked in altitude and speed limits
if it's indigenous chink production ITAR means nothing, it only applies to US-made stuff.

I dropped a 17,000 dollar FLIR Camera at my old job and fucked it so I said I couldn't get it to work.
They are ITAR
