I went with the more expensive model HF96V: https://www.amazon.com/HSFTOOLS-H...ast_sto_dp

The difference is this one includes an optical lens which can be overlayed with the thermal lens. It was $187 a week ago, but, has since went up in price.

With either one, do not lose the cable that comes it. It's propriety and a regular USB C will not work

Very impressed with it so far. It's sensitive enough to pick up the heat signature showing where my dog was laying on the carpet along with foot prints of humans that walked by.

Weird says it's a a/c-to-c, I've been waiting for a decent FLIR for cheap but definitely don't want a proprietary cable I know I'll lose

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Just wanted to point out that the IR sensor here is only 96x96 and it upscales to 240x240. It's not a true 240x240 and 96x96 is kinda low resolution. It's okay for this prices range vs a genuine FLIR, for example... but for a generic Chinese brand, it's just not something to get too excited about at this price. Price history over 90 days shows this is the lowest price... but only by a few dollars.

Just for comparison sake, not that I'm recommending this, but you can get a TopDon with a 128x128 IR sensor for $159. TopDon is a rebranding company, but is known for quality rebrands and they also have good customer support (I've used it for a TopDon battery jumper that I own - had a question about charging).

It's not a proprietary cable. It's a C to C cable with an adapter dongle tethered to one side of the cord that changes the USB C connector to a USB A connector (that way you have more charging options).

This is probably the same as op because fusion camera, these types seem to have good reviews, no IR pixel listing is sketch but $109 https://a.co/d/0aquXRjW

I'll watch the PF video tho to see how they vary

I put this USB C cable in a USB cable tester and conclude this is a special cable.

- It is directionally meaning the icons on the plugs show which end to use for the tester and the other end for the computer.

- Tester showed the cable had a zero power rating when plugged in one way. Reversing the cable plugs showed a <65W power rating. The icons must be followed.

A "normal" USB C cable would not have this issue/feature.

Wasnt the F2W the better buy over all even though it was a bit more expensive?

My $75 does the same thing.
