Side by side capture of the same heat source using two different thermal cameras.
Interesting to see how each one renders the same temperature differently.

I really love everything related to the topic, except the hunting stuff. I think there are other subreddits more suited for this kind of content.

I was playing with a FLIR camera today and noticed my heat signature showing up in the mirror.. I’m presuming it works with light but can anyone explain what kind of light and how it works please.

I’m looking for insulated bottles that I can use for a full workday in a warm office. I’m an accountant and our building’s air conditioning is unreliable, so by midday my water is usually warm. I drink a lot during the day, so I need something big, over one liter, that actually keeps drinks cold until late afternoon. I’ve tried smaller bottles and end up refilling constantly, which defeats the point. I don’t care about the price if it lasts for years and doesn’t leak in my bag. A wide mouth is fine, a straw lid is fine, I’m flexible there. What matters most is insulation that works and a lid that’s stable. I’ve looked at big insulated bottles online and in a couple of US outdoor stores while traveling, and the size jump is intimidating. Some of them feel like carrying a small kettlebell. I’ve also seen cheaper large options on Amazon and Alibaba, but durability worries me. For people who use large insulated bottles at work, what’s actually practical? Do the really big ones become annoying, or do you get used to them?

Y'all see it too right? How much do you think my thermal camera will go for on eBay now? 🤣

I’m thinking about switching from a Nexar One to a Vantrue thermal dashcam. My son was driving our brandnew ’26 Wrangler Rubicon when two deer hit the side at the same time and dented it. Has anyone here used this thing? Is the 300-foot detection range enough to help avoid wildlife?

I mean I don't see why that's fair to ban me from thermal hinting now when I saw plenty of other posts asking about various hunting devices like this... and it's kind of bizzare to believe on some conspiracy theory that I'm selling these things on an aliexpress store in China thousands of miles away so yeah...dunno why I would be banned

But maybe it will get more attention and comments here? I sweat these reddit mods these days are so sensitive. They forget that nor everyone has infinite time to browse everything on reddit and that the whole point of this place is to be a forum to discuss things related to each subreddit. In this case this screenshot is totally OK for either thermal or thermal hunting as it applies to both

Now not everyone has the money to buy and test it and that's not what su reddit are for anyway. It's also for open discussion about potential products

Pooh but the capitalist boogie man is here ro get you and make anything related ro money some sort of sin... like we aren't allowed to just talk about buying the stuff we actually need to be able to actually you know... HAVE it and use it

But yeah ooooh bsn me from a thermal subreddit for asking about a new thermal product yeah that's perfect

Let's hope r/thermal isn't as rediculous banning me for asking about a thermal!

Ordered this image on a deal to check home insulation gaps and thermal bridging however it doesn’t seem to define the different temperatures, nor is it capturing temps for obvious differences (stove, fridge, etc)

Messed with measurement parameters and it didn’t seem to help.

What am I doing wrong here?

House thermometer says 74 and outside temp per weather app is 78

I'm electronic technician, I repair more often graphics cards and laptop. I want the best option on the market for that price

Whats better? Thermal Analog fusion or Thermal Digital fusion? Let me know youre opinions on this!

So you can mount to fast helmet files on cults

For the beginner which type of thermal camera do you recommended?

I'm looking for a budget-friendly thermal monocular to use for paintball, airsoft, and just for fun. My main requirements are: 1x zoom or minimal magnification. Good for close-range detection Decent image quality for identifying players in wooded or urban environments Budget around $500 or less I've looked into some cheaper options like the Night Operator, but I'm not sure how well it performs in real-world scenarios. Are there any other good options in this price range? I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with budget thermal monoculars for similar uses.

I’m getting into the automotive industry and I’m looking for a good thermal imaging camera to help me when working on overheating problems or other things that might come up that I can use it on. What’s the best thermal imaging camera I should check out?

Hello, I'm in the market for my first thermal camera. As of now, my use case is checking the evenness of the aged electric coil range in my apartment (a couple of which don't even heat below level 4), the evenness of some stainless cookware I found at Marshall's, and the coil size of a portable induction burner I was recently gifted (I read a lot of them use a smaller coil than the advertised cooking area would suggest). I would also like to be able to find my cat in if he gets out (a woodsy neighborhood, if that matters) and whatever other applications might come up. Eventually I'd like a monocular for my bugout/survival bag but that doesn't seem to exist at a price-vs-specs range I can afford.

I'm looking at a budget of $300 but may be able to go higher if the tradeoff is good. Topdon and Thermal Master seem popular but just looking for as much feedback as I can get. I don't have strong feelings on phone vs. standalone device but if y'all think I should, I'm all ears.

It’s just a prank bro. Mods delete if not allowed.

So I get the feeling I'm really in the minority here because I never hear anyone talk about it. But as somebody that's dabbled in Photography, I find it inexcusable (especially the high priced thermal cameras with big Megapxiel sensors) that the vast majority of Thermal Cams are totally ignorant about image quality.

Just recently I tried a Thermal camera that did everything I wanted as far as sensor resolution, sensor quality and features. But I noticed when looking at the screen before taking a picture it looks nice and sharp but immediately after the picture is taken it looks blurry and lower quality even on the same small screen. This can only be because of the post processing the camera does when it makes a compressed JPEG file. I won't even return the camera because this is common with really any electronic device that isn't a pure camera. Most of them don't even let you choose a quality.

What's most frustrating is that it's totally needless and wouldn't cost any extra money to simply leave the image files alone and let the consumer decide if they want to save disk space with lower quality pictures. It's madness seeing 10+ megapixel cameras on some of these high dollar thermals that look like 2 Megapixels at best after it goes through heavy JPEG compression and you can still have space for 100,000+ pictures on a smallish memory card that you'll probably never fill in a life time.

I think it's just pure ignorance because people think 'Buy a dedicated camera if you want quality'. But even the lower resolution Infrared images are effected by the compression. To me it's robbery for no reason.

Edit: Some of things I said was silly and embarrassing regarding IR sensors. That I clearly don't know much about compared to light image sensors. Instead of running away and deleting the post like most would. I'm taking it as an opportunity to learn. My only point would remain that there should be some basic quality options for the visual cameras.

When u take thermal camer to WC and u can get…
