Festool thermal images

[AofD]

I received my FLIR ONE thermal imager for my iPhone today.  Here's a picture of the CT26 exhaust port after running for 30 seconds.  I'll post more images of other tools tomorrow.

 

[wow]

Those things look incredibly cool, and I WANT one - but with the iPhone 6 being so close I think i'll wait.

I really need a bigger screen for it (the iPhone) to be useable for me.

I don't blame you but you might have to wait a long time for the iPhone 6 compatible version.

[size=14pt]Pity you do not have a newish RO150 or Domino, I would like to see them after around 10 mins use. However your RO 90 could be interesting?

Cool that it shows heat signature.  Does it give the temp as well?

RO 90 before usage and after 10 minutes of sanding.

That's pretty cool or hot maybe

I am defiantly buying one of them, it will be fantastic for my work

This is a great tool for contractors.  This photo illustrates how you can find under insulated sections such as an area in my home ceiling.

Im considering buying one of these this week, are you guys happy with the quality of the camera?

 

[AofD]

The fit and finish is exceptional and the app is functional.  The range isn't that great but the images are greatly enhanced due to the fusion of the thermal an visible images that reveal practice details including taxt as you see in the images above.

The images below illustrates another practice use.  I have a flickering light fixture in my workshop.  Using the FLIR ONE, I'm able to 'see' the problem.  One of the bulbs has gone bad.  No wasting time troubleshooting.

This is by far the least costly thermal imager on the market.

Sweet! I think I am picking one of these up this week, I have an Apple gift card that I've been sitting on for a while, Thanks for posting these up.

I was trying to decide between this, the thermal 'seek', and another model of flir, but I think the $100 off deal they are offering has swung me back to the flir1

Do you find the resolution good enough on the Flir1?

I surfed their website and some of their dedicated imagers sported significantly higher resolutions.

Edit: Darn iPhone

 

[sgt_rjp]

They do have some great ones that have much higher resolution and more features, but the flir1 is a fraction of the cost of the low end stand-alone model, yet matches the features.  They're able to do this because they are leveraging the iPhone platform.  I'm looking at it for DIY stuff so I don't need to spend the $3K+ for the better ones.

If anyone is interested, FLIR is running a black friday sale for $100 off the FLIR1 ($249)

Nov 23rd to Dec 1st.  Note, these are only designed for the iPhone 5/5s

I picked up one since I have radiant tubes buried in concrete and was doing some remodeling and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to hit one of the pipes.  But also great for checking for air leaks....and to see if the dogs were sleeping on the couch  [smile]

One thing that I don't like (or have yet to figure out), is how to have a static dynamic range on the color map.  Things will show up hot if they are hotter than the surroundings, even if it only a degree or two, if it is the only hot thing in the scene.  So sometimes it makes the color seem hotter or colder than it is.  But it's been a really helpful tool!

Waiting for a model for my iPhone 6+ as I just let go of my old 5S. Guess it might be a long wait :-(

It's probably cheaper to pick up a semi-broken iPhone 5 and use it as a dedicated camera. Maybe one that's been blacklisted or something, but can still sign into iCloud (I assume you need that to get in the App Store).
