  • Excellent Thermal Imager. With a Camera!
Size: RT-9X
Those in need of thermal imaging need to take a look at this. This is a handheld thermal imager with a camera that allows you to "see" heat surfaces that can be super useful for leaks etc. You can check how the insulation on your home is. You could even use it to see if someone was sitting in a chair or put their hand on something (the window is small but still kind of cool). Or if you want to, you could do what my friends did and pretend they were a Predator and make clicking noises. The unit comes in a hard case that is pretty sturdy. Battery needed a good five hours of charging since it was almost completely discharged being new. After that, we were good to go. The case allows you to store a spare, but no spare was included. Unit itself was lightweight and required no assembly. There is a hand strap so you don’t accidentally drop your expensive imager. Powering up is quick, but the manual states ten minutes is recommended to be on for max accuracy on the temp readings. It seemed to be okay after only a couple of minutes though. Menus in the device are easy to use, and pretty responsive. You can change the color bands to identify what you are looking at so you can go from “predator vision” to “Call of Duty AC130 Night Vision” at the few clicks of an easy to use nub. This thing actually picks up people pretty far if you are at night in the dark too. Could be useful for finding your cat in the bushes at night too. Some people have asked me if you could see a person through walls. No, you can’t do that, it is not Robocop vision. But it’s very handy for identifying broken/leaky things like radiators and you get to see and measure the whole surface of things unlike just having a pyrometer. Great for seeing just how effective your heating/cooling is. The camera is decent, you get to have a real image of your work. Being so small and portable, this thing is terrific. Just keep your friends away who want to pretend they are Predators hunting. ... show more

  • Very useful
Size: RT-3
I had a situation where a I had 3 sinks sharing the same wall, one sink on one side, and two sinks on the other. There was water showing up on the floor coming from the wall but I had no idea where to start cutting the drywall to find the leak. I ran hot water in the sinks and was able to see the drain lines in the wall with the thermal imaging device. I then saw that there was one drain arm serving one of the 3 sinks in the wall, and there was shelving that had been screwed to the wall in a closet. The screws matched up with the drain in the wall that I detected with the imaging device. This drain arm was leaking due to the screws being drilled through it. I was able to cut exactly where the issue was saving the customer money on drywall repairs. This device is useful. I would like to see, if possible, the moisture detection be a little more detailed so that wet areas in walls and floors can be detected through a color or something like that. ... show more
