  • Love it! Lots of great uses—privacy being one of them! Great build, nice weight, sturdy. Highly recommend it. Love it! Lots of great uses—privacy being one of them! Great build, nice weight, sturdy. Highly recommend it.
So I've been using this for a weekend now, and I gotta say, I'm thoroughly impressed—what a great and useful piece of technology for many different uses! Let's get into all the aspects, "The Good, The Bad & The Returnable (spoiler.. there isn't one for returnable) // Packaging & "In the Box" Items — "The Good" I won't bore you with details, the short and sweet version is that the box is really nice, professionally laid out & designed, and very "gift-able". Inside you get everything you need and more. The device itself, wrist strap, charging USB cable (forgot to include in my photo), multiple international power supply plugs, manual and some additional marketing + registration material. // Quality of the Device—"The Good" Right off the bat, you realize the construction is rock solid—fully wrapped in a soft rubber protective shell, keeping it safe from any accidental drops. The screen also has a flexible plastic feel to it, so unlike the glass your phones are equipped with, this will take a good beating before shattering. I'm very happy with its build quality, no issues or worries, however I don't think it's water/dust proof, so just keep that in mind before getting carried away with how you handle it. It's an expensive technology, so like your phone, be cautious. That being said, it is built to be used in rougher environments, so don't be overly worried about dirty fingers. // Features & User Experience—"The Good" Finally the good part. Using it is a joy, it boots up relatively quickly (10-15 sec), sometimes taking a little longer to calibrate which it does frequently during use. The screen is plenty bright by default, but does have 3 settings (low, med, high). The screen is very responsive, but like your touch phones, you will need special "touch" gloves or your bare fingers in order to respond to your interactions. It's got multiple viewing color modes, plus MSX technology which helps you see what your looking at through the devices screen. Basically it draws lines around objects to help discern object details—it's a very useful option that most will have enabled at all times. It's got a flash you can turn on/off, or even use as a flashlight. The battery lasts for a while, I'd probably recharge it every 3 days of regular and constant usage. One of my favorite features is the double photos that it takes. So after each photo, it instantly takes 2 pictures, one of the thermal view, and one of a regular photo so you can see exactly what your looking at (see attached photo). There's also a lot of device settings and parameters that can be tweaked, things like: Emissivity, Reflected Temperatures, Distances, Language, Time, Units, Brightness, Screen Orientation, Power settings, and few more. One of my other favorite features which I stumbled across accidentally, was the ability of locking the temperature range/color scheme. When your pointing the FLIR at any particular area, theres a temperature range for whatever scene your looking at, and the colors are spread out across that range. For example (see attached photos), my kitchen had a temperature range of 175 - 71.8, the oven was recently on so it was 175 and the coolest areas on the floor were 71.8. The color for the hottest area is 175 and shows as white. In my next photo of my TV, the range is 93.3 to 73.4, with the highest temperature of 93.3 also displaying as white. Both different "high temps", but both showing as white. The lock feature, simply locks the color to temperature association, and applies it to every scene you look at as long as that lock is in place. This way you can compare 80 degrees, to 80 degrees, scene from scene. It's all a bit confusing, but basically allows the hot temps to really come through and stay consistent as you walk around your location. All you have to do to enable this, is tap on the temperature range, either the top or bottom numbers and you'll see a small lock appear. Tap it again, and it disables it—simple, and brilliant. I also like this because I find the FLIR calibrates less often. One last thing I wanted to point out, is the large action button on the top. There's only two buttons on the device, a power button, and a "Take Photo" action button. This action button is oversized, which really makes it easy to take a snapshot—a small detail, but was well thought through. // Usages—"The Good" I don't work in construction, and I'm not a handyman in the traditional sense, so for me, I'm not as interested in finding cold or hot spots around the house, or electrical problems, etc. I actually have other practical uses for this FLIR C2. Believe it or not—it's privacy. Let me explain, this is a thermal imager that picks up any thermal signatures—well any device that's got electricity flowing through it will be giving off a heat signature. Some more then others, but nearly all will. My wife and I do a fair amount of traveling, most of those travels require staying at either hotels or airbnb type locations. This camera is an amazing tool for bug sweeps. If there's a camera hidden in a teddy bear, this thing will pick up that warm battery immediately. Unplug any electronics that you don't need, let them cool down, then walk through the area with this camera. You will find head signatures anywhere, even through thin dividers! So if there's heat coming from places that shouldn't have anything there, investigate. Even things like fans that aren't even running give off heat and are clearly visible on this device. So if your the type that sleeps outside the comforts of your own home, this might be a good investment for you. Another thing I use this for is power saving. Unpluging all sorts of devices we had no idea were running hot even when not on, like the fan, but also things like lamps, gaming systems, even electronic wine openers.. all of it is adding to your energy bill, even though it's at such a small amount, every bit could help. The other interesting thing I discovered, was that my TV was much hotter in one of its corners. It ran 14 degrees hotter then any other place (see photo attached). So if your making a large purchase, and want to make sure there's nothing strange or wrong with your product, this might be a good way to determine that too. I still haven't looked into the whole TV issue, and I'm not sure there's anything I can do about it, but I will be testing some settings to see if I can turn down some dynamic lighting or something. One last thing to note, this is obvious, but might you might not realize it right away—this will not function through a window. So if your inside your home/apt, and trying to pick up heat signatures outside, it will obviously not work. // Overview—"The Good" Anyway, I really really like this device, I think it's a wonderful product, that's capable of doing a lot of very handy tricks. It's built very well, a lot of great features and customization options are included. I would highly recommend this portable unit to anyone looking for a solution to several scenarios. ... show more

  • Amazing unit, great customer service, and awesome
For the price you can't beat it, I've already noticed when they redid my walls after having a branch come through my roof two years ago that there is a big section of wall that backs up to the attic that has no insulation and the temperature difference is about 20°F so now I can already start using this to save money once I get up there and add insulation. I love the build of this as it is rugged, just wish they did have a cover for the sensor so you don't accidentally touch it, I'd feel much more comfortable keeping this in my jacket pocket. Unfortunately I purchased this a month before the new C3 came out (with Wifi, video, and picture-in-picture capability). Once the C3 came out Amazon dropped their price on this another $50, I reached out Amazon to see if they could do a price match as they used to but unfortunately they took that feature away in mid 2016. The quality is good, not the best, but much better than that that I've used in the past with multi thousand dollar units. The technology has come a long ways and is still growing. The images are much better quality than those of the SEEK or other cheaper thermal units. Though there is one that attaches to a phone and uses that camera that is over a grand but the sensor on that is much bigger, so you can capture more intricate details and also change lenses so you can do wide angle or telephoto. This FLIR is only wide angle - which works great but if you're wanting greater detail from further away you won't be able to achieve this without getting closer to the object. Software - FLIR's software on this is top notch, I'm very impressed just what I can do in it and even change the thermal range and colors. You can even set it up to only show colors above or below a certain range. Customer Service - I reached out almost immediately as it seemed the sensor was somewhat off, such as if I was to look at my hand you could see an obvious offset between the picture and the thermal image (as they use both and overlap). This is great at distances of over 4' with being accurate but I'm planning on using it with wiring inside electrical panels of boats. Generally it is a rats nest in there and I don't want to see a hot wire and mistake it as the wrong one as the image would be shifted off. Anyway the customer service guy was top notch and able to answer my questions and concerns. He is still currently waiting on me to send him some more photos at which I've been lazy about. He even sent me a whole document on learning about emissivitiy and how to set it to what it should be (I've always been used to keeping this at 1 but I wanted to know why and when it should be set, this doc helped me) Overall I'm impressed and loving it, I'm also hoping to use it in my boat as I have a leak in my teak deck and need to find out where is saturated, I know you can use thermal imaging to find water saturated material but I'm not sure how well this unit will do that. So far I like this and would even love to someday get one with different lenses and bigger sensor, but for now I'm happy. Oh, distance wise, I can't detect too far, such as over 100' and I'm not getting objects I'd assume to be hot outside, this isn't a problem just an observation. This is more of a home inspection camera and is what I'm going to use it as when I do house hunting. ... show more

  • An interesting creative tool even if it wasn't designed with that in mind An interesting creative tool even if it wasn't designed with that in mind
I bought the C2 as a creative tool, something I know it wasn't designed for but I thought might have potential to make interesting pictures based on my product research. I have been more than pleasantly surprised with my purchase. First things first, as cameras go, the C2 has little to no resolution when compared with any other digital camera on the market today. The visible spectrum capture is a whopping 346x462 pixels (I've not been able to capture at the spec'd 640x480), and the thermal/IR capture is 80x60 pixels. The Mac OS software was last updated in 2014 and while it gets the job done it could use some more development time to add stability, features and little improvements like remembering the folder path you choose to use instead of constantly defaulting to the one it wants to use instead, and the creative part of me would really really love more palette choices...but I digress. The camera is easy to use, just point and shoot. The provided lanyard is helpful for wearing it around your neck and giving enough slack where you can move the camera around quite a bit without having to take it off, handy for me when I'm also carrying DSLRs. Battery life isn't great, about 90-120 minutes from a full charge to flat, I wouldn't recommend a power down/power up in between shots to conserve battery life unless you have some extra time because it takes around 45 seconds to fully boot. I find the touchscreen menus are constantly being selected without me touching the screen, I wish I could lock them as I've accidentally changed settings several times. And from a usage standpoint, don't get too physically close to your subject or you can "pollute" your shot with your own body heat shadow, something that didn't occur to me until it happened. So yes the C2 is far from perfect on a lot of points. And yet...there's something uniquely cool (no pun intended) about the results when you take the thermal image and overlay the detail from the visible spectrum and play a little with the software as far as the palettes and thermal range go. This is probably not everyone's cup of tea and it's not exactly inexpensive for what it is and there are all kinds of limitations as I've noted. But I'm very happy I got one all the same! ... show more

  • Perfect new gadget! Perfect new gadget!
Well..This was a gift for my husband because he is such a great guy! But sadly when we got the Camera we couldn’t even try it out. The package came without a charging cable, no lanyard and some of the adaptors were missing. On top of everything the box had a ton of dog hair everywhere. It was simply gross. Also i can see fingerprints all over it even on the infrared lens. This was obviously a previously returned camera. I’ll update my review once I actually get to try it out...not very happy, 😡 Round TWO: (Replacement Camera with everything in the box and no NASTY HAIR 🤮) Got the replacement 2 days later. This camera is awesome! Does everything exactly as advertised. It’s perfect for beginners (like me). Also has more fine tuning details available than I was expecting. Picture is perfect and it really gives you a new “Sixth sense”. Only If you’re really close to something the MSX feature overlay is a LITTLE off but it’s not a big deal because the feature does make a huge difference. Pricing is just right, I cant imagine how much better a $1000+ camera could do. I’m an automotive tech and I’m sure this will help with a lot of A/c and heating issues along with general cooling system diagnostics. Possibilities are endless. Let’s just see how long it last, with the proper care of course. (OH! And thanks to my wife for this AWESOME gift! 😘) ... show more

  • Useful tool and great classroom aid for teaching about infrared imaging
This is truly an awesome camera. The integration of visual digital camera images with infrared leads to an augmented form of vision that you have to see to believe. You can actually observe thermal footprints on the ground when someone walks across a cool floor! The engineers did a great job of making very advanced technology easy to use. For example, the auto-calibration feature periodically updates the false color to temperature mapping so you can get the maximum information out of the image without any user intervention. This is simultaneously a very useful device (I bought it to discover where my house needs more insulation) and one of the most fun high tech toys I have run across. It is also a great educational tool. My son used it to explain to his classmates how the James Webb space telescope will let us image celestial objects that are hidden or partially obscured in visible light. After playing around with this camera they had an intuitive understanding of how imaging objects in other spectra can expand our knowledge of the universe. The camera is well made from high quality materials (metal body with rubber armor) and is manufactured in Estonia. All my geek friends that I've shown it to immediately want one! ... show more

  • Nice camera, but starting malfunctioning after 6 months Nice camera, but starting malfunctioning after 6 months
Nice camera, but starting malfunctioning after 6 months. I am getting a bunch of vertical lines on the ir images and the camera takes solid black images now. Flir stopped supporting Mac OSX and the website will not load properly to register the product for the extended warranty. So far customer service has asked me to update the firmware, which is impossible to do on Mac now that they have discontinued Mac support. Hopefully they will resolve this quickly. I will update the review as more information becomes available. 9/22/18 I sent the camera in a couple weeks ago and customer service has been horrible. They keep asking me for information that was already provided. After 12 days they emailed me asking what was wrong with the camera. I had already been around in circles with customer service for days and provided the with images of the problem. Today they sent me a repair estimate for $250. The camera is under warranty so it obviously should be free. The estimate provided no infiltrating regarding what the repair was. I'm very irritated at this point. I thought flir was an good company. My experience is that the product is poorly manufactured and customer service is horrendous. Like dealing with comcast. 3/31/19 Update. They did a warranty "repair" and tried to tell me it was a virus. When I went to use the camera again, it still had the same image lines problem. I am still unable to use the camera. At $500, this is an expensive paper weight FLIR has not returned calls. I am resubmitting a RMA, but at this point I will not be satisfied with a temporary fix. They need to sen a working camera. ... show more

  • Game Changer
First thing I did was scan my entire house with this when the weather got cool enough. I found walls with missing insulation, located pipes. It's like having x-ray vision, but of course not really (can only see surface temps and reflections). very simple to use - great software for PC. Love that I can see an overlay of the photo image on the thermal image - really helps identifying where you're at. Good quality - fairly durable build, but I keep in case when not using and always use the neck strap just in case. Batteries do seem to drain fairly quickly, and must re-charge by cable - so if you're relying on it for work, you might want a second unit so you've got one fully charged all the time.... or just remember to keep it charged between uses. ... show more
