  • Works well at a decent price.
Style: C5
Works great, charges slow... good price for quality.

  • Works great - most of the time.
Style: 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

  • FLIR C3-X for spotting critters in the dark.
Style: C3-X
Overall I loved this product. It was sturdy, very easy to use even for someone new to thermography, and of course has the FLIR name and software to back it up. Also the field of vision with these handheld cameras is always much wider than the monoculars out there. It is awesome to be able to see a large area all at once. That said, it is one of the lowest resolution sensors available, with one of the slowest refresh rates on the market. With FLIR's support and the reliability of the product, overall still a very good value. If you're out to find small critters far away, I would consider other products. :) ... show more

  • Expensive but it has already paid for itself
Style: 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

  • Poor resolution!
Style: C3-X
We have been doing commercial inspections for twenty years and we have bought many thermal infrared cameras ranging from 1500 to $15,000. This was by far a waste of money. We wanted something easy to travel with on flights but we found this camera thermal pics to be unreliable, such poor resolution we cannot even tell what’s in the photo. Don’t waste your money. ... show more

  • Flir always comes through!
Style: C3-X
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
