Expensive but already paid for itself

Well done, solid, good performance and user friendly software menu. Good battery life. The bright, clear screen is large and makes viewing comfortable. Fits right in your pocket, easy to carry. We use it to detect faulty ICs on power amplifier boards. You can't see it with the naked eye, but this camera shows overheated chips glowing brightly on the screen. Boards are diagnosed in minutes, not hours. For that alone it was worth the price. If you're new to infrared imaging, don't expect a lot of

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Useless features

Fleer always works!

I recently bought a Flir C3-X to replace my old C2 model. While you need to set up an online flir account, it makes file transfers painless as long as you have Wi-Fi to go with. Anyway, a USB cable is included. View, edit, upload your photos anywhere, pay nothing. If you use the online software Flir Ignite you have to agree to about two requirements, pretty standard, nothing crazy like the others described for the C5 series. The recommended warm-up time is about 5 minutes after turning it on…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Unreliable expensive garbage!

DON'T BUY THIS SHIT! I'm certainly not a professional plumber, but I've worked with hundreds of cameras (professional cameras) so far. I bought Flir to save some money if I find a leak in my house and in some cases for future use. I've used it about 10 times in a short space of time and it literally froze twice, the second time was when I really had to look for a leak coming off the roof and it froze on me, if that happens I've got it basically waiting for the battery life to drain completely…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Not what I ordered in temperature and humidity range

Overall I've had good luck with my Revain orders but lately they have been packaged and even get certain commands missing. I bought the FLIR C5 expecting a great device to help me get my job done. It was quite expensive, 748.99 with tax, but I knew it would be worth the cost for the time savings alone. I also bought the FLIR One Pro for iOS for comparison purposes. The FLIR C5 arrived as expected, but when I opened the box and examined the device's packaging, I immediately noticed that the…

Pros
  • Compact 3 in 1 with thermal camera, visual inspection camera and LED illuminator
Cons
  • Got damaged

Back to FLIR One Pro

When my FLIR One Pro broke recently, I decided to "upgrade" it to the C5. Unfortunately, in my application, the few advantages of C5 outweigh its disadvantages. Pros: - Excellent battery life compared to FOP - Feels like a 'real' camera, doesn't always have to fiddle with cumbersome phone mounts - Spot metering with auto-search is amazing - it automatically jumps to the hottest spot in the frame and reports the temperature , as opposed to FOP where you have to manually place a point marker…

Pros
  • Designed for professional use - robust and reliable
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Note that the ease of sharing images captured by the C5 is an anomaly. It is actually very difficult to share images. Your Flir and tablet must be connected to a shared Wi-Fi network. You then have to use incognito mode (as Flir support explained to me). You will then need to log into the Flir Ignite account, which is separate from the other Flir account where you registered your product. You can now upload the image to your Flir Ignite account. You can then upload this image, but you cannot…

Pros
  • Thermal camera 160 x 120 (19,200 pixels)
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required
