    • Great camera, no complaints.
Model: C5
Fantastic quality, comes with a nice little soft carry bag, and overall does the job very well. I elected out of wifi since this is just for home electronics repairs, and it isn't pushy with updates. Overall, I got what I ordered and it does exactly what I needed it to do.

    • Works great - most of the time.
Model: C3-X
I bought this camera for use doing home energy evaluations. Opened it up, it was charged and used it to look at the walls of my own home to see areas where the insulation could be better. A few days late I took it to the shop to show my co-workers and it wouldn't work. When you turned it on the screen showed weird patterns and no usable information. I cycled it on and off a couple of time with no better results. Left it sitting on my desk while we went to a job. When I came back tried it again and it worked perfectly. Hmmm. Got to love intermittent problems. ... show more

    • Expensive but it has already paid for itself
Model: C5
Well made, rugged, good performance and the software menus are easy to navigate. Good battery life. Bright clear screen is large, making viewing easy. Drops right into a jacket pocket, easy to carry. We use it to spot bad chips on power amplifier circuit boards. You can't see it with the naked eye, but this camera shows the overheated chips glowing brightly on the screen. The boards are diagnosed in minutes instead of hours. For that reason alone it was worth the price. If you're new to infrared imaging, don't expect lots of megapixels, that would cost you a fortune. Instead, if you need more resolution just get closer to the subject. The resolution of this camera is adequate for my application. It has good file-transfer features which I haven't used yet. It also has another use that is equally wonderful. If a horse or cow doesn't come home at night, this camera can quickly spot them a long distance away. Likewise, a quick scan of the pasture confirms all are present and accounted for. It's better than a flashlight because they stand out among objects that conceal them such as fences, trees and bushes, which appear dark in the infrared image. ... show more

It is ok, I mean you can do the job, but it's confusing when use the menu.

    • Value per $
Model: C5
2 things to know, the frames per second is noticeably slow. The picture size is smaller than most are used to by my guess. Being able to see hot spots in electronics, in the wall. Drawing power from a connection you can see the temp difference. Draft in a room, you can find where it is coming from. A hiding mammal you can see it.(if it moves the fps will be noticeable). Puddle on the ground, the temp difference can be noticeable. For what it can do I find it to be a good value for the price. ... show more

    • Unreliable Expensive Piece of Garbage!
Model: C5
DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP! I am not a pro plumber, by all means, but handled hundreds of cameras so far (pro cameras). I've bought the flir in order to save some money finding a leak in my house and for some future use on occasions. I've used it about ten times for a short while and it literally froze twice, the second time happened when I really needed it to check on a leak that was coming from the roof and it froze on me, when this thing happens basically I have to wait until the battery totally get discharged which takes a few hours, and basically kills your day. Just to think of a professional who takes it to work and this Expensive Useless Tool Freezes on him 20% of the time. Add to it the website that is so unfriendly to users, and the first time when it happened to me, I was in Israel checking the property and this thing just froze, I've called the flir representative/the only importer for advice and help and they flatly send me back to seek for help from the people I've bought it from. There is seven hours difference between the U.S. and Israel and the cost of a call by itself is very expensive. I understand that most users will use it in the U.S. only, but if you are willing to take a chance to be out of your camera one time out of five while on the road working and basically have an EXPENSIVE USELESS ROCK THAT YOU WERE COUNTING ON. Go ahead and throw your money into the garbage. Based on my bad experiences, I'll be looking for something else! I hope that this will help you with your decision. ... show more

I recently purchased the Flir C3-X to replace my older model C2. While you do need to set up an online Flir account , it does make file transfer painless as long as you have Wifi you're good to go when on the road. If anything it comes with the USB cable included. View, edit, download your photos where ever, pay nothing extra. When using the online software Flir Ignite you do need to consent to roughly two requirements, pretty standard, nothing crazy as others described with the C5 series. Recommended warm-up times is roughly 5 minutes once you power it up but, this device is pretty fast and much faster than my older C2. Yes, you own your photos as well, read the fine print! I'm a home inspector and I do use my thermal cams often. Perfect size, priced right for a brand name thermal camera, picture quality is great for my use of the device. Touchscreen options has just what you need, can even edit photos right on the cam and add names, location to each photo. Product also came with a pouch, durable lanyard, USB cable, 3 month trial of Flir Thermal studio which is different from the Flir Ignite I mentioned above. This appears to be for those that need to do a lot more with the thermal images such as thermal reports on Flir templates. Received my order the next-day, well packaged, no damage to box or device. Being my second C series thermal device, I would recommend. ... show more
