I was pretty interested in one when they were announced then it kind of fizzled out from lack of info and delays. Now that they are out I was thinking about it again. So has anyone gotten one? How is it? What's the range like in the dark?

So you don't mind always being two steps behind using an android? What's it like to carry around a laptop that Samsung tries to call a phone?

That's nice, I'd like to get one to use on my boat, steel channel markers probably stay hot for a while after being in the sun all day

Eventually, someone will come up with a hack, built from a Raspberry Pi and an old motion detector floodlight...

The useful range of the FlirOne is extremely limited.



It's a cool piece of tech that has some uses, but specifically identifying anything at any meaningful distance isn't it's strong point.




Some guy here took a photo of his cat at like 15 feet away and it was an unidentifiable orange blob.

I was just wondering if it could pick up something the size of a person or dear or dog at say 100ft? Even if it isn't identifiable.

The range is going to depend a lot on ambient conditions - i.e., how much the object's temperature contrasts with that of its surroundings.

If a deer is standing in 3 foot of snow - in -40 degree weather  - Then maybe.

Could you use it to replace the chalk test on your tires?

Per me emails with FLIR Customer Service (couple of months ago), S5 is the next likely planned target. Maybe around the first of 2015 I hope?










Would be of good use to me on a daily basis testing calibrations for diesels.  Quick cylinder balance check by taking a glance at manifolds, etc. 1000 automotive uses.

Soon, from a group of industry veterans at a startup called Seek Thermal this fall plan to begin selling an add-on camera for smartphones for about $100 less than Flir One.  Both iPhone and Android.  No further news on which model of iPhone yet.
