Does this offer anything over something like https://a.co/d/0aDhIMM6 with much higher native resolution? Genuine question. Am I just paying for the brand or is Flir really better?
Not really. Generally I don't trust the resolution they sell and also don't get these generic Chinese things that really on an app. Get a handheld one if that is the case or get a topdon/brand that has been around. Just bought a few handhelds to compare and the Chinese brand is definitely nicer to use, the cheap cheap is worst then that but sells a higher resolution (blatant lie).

Flir cameras have two cameras which then create an overlay on the thermal image to give you a better sense of what you're looking at.
Flir apps will work, jank Chinese apps steal information and then disappear and lose support.
I used the older Flir One like a decade or so ago to track mold/moisture in my previous house...it's a very cool tool to have to diagnose and track heat losses, moisture problems etc.

If the app had new lines actually register as new lines it'd be a little better, but I don't care to elaborate anymore other than do not buy a cheap Chinese product that relies on an app, get a more reputable one so the app is maintained (topdon) or a standalone device

I bought a decent one that I thought I'd like the overlay, but the overlay throws it off. Otherwise the actual software is great compared to the other cheap ones I bought to compare resolutions : https://a.co/d/079OI9N6
