FLIR ONE Gen 3 - Thermal Imaging Camera for Android Smartphones (USB-C)

OK, this thing is cool! I can't speak to the accuracy but the color gradients themselves were true to the hot spots I was already aware of in my home. I go this so I can have an accurate comparison of before/after I add heat film and seal my windows to try to battle the heat. I did a good bit of price comparison and wanted to try to get something dependable that wouldn't break the bank, and I'm glad I went with the FLIR.I was a little surprised it has a separate battery and needs charged (via USB-C), but that wasn't an issue: more something to be aware of lest you think like me you can take it out of the box and instantly use it.Aside from downloading the app, there is ZERO set-up. No complicated wifi/bluetooth connections, you open the app and literally plug and play. **My home weight scale isn't even this easy to use!!!** Between that and a consistent visual temp display (the quality on my iPhone 14 pro was actually very good IMO) as I walked around my home, this definitely earned 5 stars.I'm keeping my fingers crossed that if I upgrade my phone that I'll be able to use an Apple Certified Lightning->USB-C dongle so this doesn't end up obsolete fast. That might be the only drawback when we're in a world where everyone is slowly transitioning away from Lightning ports.

I bought the Flir One camera to use with my old iPhone X, and get a look at how one of the walls in my house. There is peeling paint and I suspect a leak in the siding, and was worried that after a rainstorm I would see the entire wall as cold as the window.The instructions in the box were super clear, and once I had the app installed the camera worked almost instantly. Although the charge was very low, the camera DID come with a charge. I plugged it in for about 30 minutes and it was ready to go. Once I plugged the camera into my phone again it took me a minute to realize I had to turn it to face the right direction, but then it was off to the races.I was able to see that there WAS a cold spot in the wall where the paint was peeling, indicating the likeliood of a leak in the siding, but the rest of the wall was a normal temperature compared to other walls in the house. What I paid for the Flir One gave me some peace of mind that I won't be replacing the entire wall, and also gives me some idea of what it will take to fix when a contractor is finally able to look at it.

I work an electronics, and got this to look for hot spots and has help me find some, now I give only 4 stars because I can't get the light and heat images to line up, and this does make harder to find the hot spot, there is adjustment for this but even at the max adjustment was still good bit off, I feel this should have been better.

Ver: USB-CI was really excited for this Flir One Thermal Camera. Unfortunately my excitement was slammed into a wall of disappointment. I found out these things have a major issue...I couldn't connect to the mobile app or the desktop app. It wouldn't even so much as recognize and error out.I tried all of the troubleshooting documentation and reddit posts for trying different settings. Nothing worked.I would have requested for a replacement in hopes it was just a bad unit, however this seems to be a common issue from all the posts I've seen online.
