Nice to have it all in one portable package but make your own with a Raspberry Pi4 is cheaper: https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/newsflex/download.html#xflir panteltje.nl/pub/xflir_bar.gif panteltje.nl/pub/flir_test_candle_top_left__raspi4_close_bottom_IXIMG_0789.JPG panteltje.nl/pub/xflir-0.1.gif

It's fixed-focussed so may not be able to resolve parts on a PC board. Flir makes the affordable ones hard or impossible to focus, on purpose. FLIRs that can focus close, at component level, are expensive. Ours cost $12K. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dd072w1z2gmfpbt/Dual_NPN.jpg?raw=1 FLIR gave us a benchtop unit to evaluate, but it's useless for electronics, apparently by design. Nobody uses it. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6qrx4yyy63gxw5jec1rwa/BT3.JPG?rlkey=q9eb551ur73h5qucgyrck9tsi&raw=1

I have a FLIR One Pro that attaches to an iPhone. It's model 436-0012-03, it cost iirc $300 on the jungle website, and it's super useful for debugging.

Sounds handy. Can it resolve parts on a PCB?

Mostly. It overlays a skeleton derived from a visible camera, so you can sort of see what you're doing. I'll dig out a zinc sulfide lens from someplace and see if I can make it focus closer.

So what then is 'focus free'. Is it the same as what phil is describing? Cherrs -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- https://piaohong.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usenet/index.html
