Flir for the consumer

Dang, I don't have a dog! But a cheap Russian night-vision thing would be better for peeping critters at night.

I wonder if it could be modified to focus close, for electronics.

There seem to be a lot of thermal imager add-on lenses around, germanium and cheaper plastic fresnel. Looks like you could put together a decent electronics imager for well under $1K.

Their main,. low-end handheld is better than that, and cheaper, AND gives calibrated temp readings and has storage.

The price point on that POS is lame, but I am sure they are taking advantage of the lower IQ of the hunting crowd and those who want to watch their dog poop at night crowd.

I talked to a FLIR rep this week and he insists that I'd have to pay $5K for something that would focus close, for electronics.

I knwe you wouldn't miss a poop reference.

I'll bet you are a lot of fun at a party :-\ Mikek

My device reads your skull cavity temperature as way below normal as well.

Arsenio Hall used to have an expression for that.
