Best thermal IR Camera for PCB inspection? Recommendations....??



By "best", I'm hoping for stellar performance at a ridiculously cheap price. But I'll take what we can get. :)



This will be for a single workbench, maybe 2 eventually. Small production shop. Thanks!!


Seek Thermal do a range, cheapest plugs into a smartphone. I have a 'Reveal' and it works very well.

I used it last week and it showed a warm electrolytic which was backwards, saved a lot of time. Useful around the home too.

Cheers

+1 on the seek. Be careful if you buy one of the smartphone ones. The location of the smartphone usb socket can be a problem. Infrared selfies aren't particularly useful.

Another issue is that the early ones had no ability to focus and were useless close up. They later implemented a focusable lens WITHOUT changing the model number.
