FLIRย Systems recently announced the launch of the FLIRย One Pro thermal camera attachment for smartphones. Itย features FLIRโs thermal microcamera core known as Lepton, the patented multispectral dynamic imaging (MSX) technology designed to improve image quality and readability, VividIR advanced image processing, multiple spot temperatures, one-touch reporting capabilities, full integration with the FLIRย Tools app for in-depth data analysis, the new One Fit adjustable-height connector, and a ruggedized design.
The FLIR One Pro, priced atย $399.99,ย will be available in the first half of 2017 at established FLIR partners and at FLIR.com.
Our Take
Itโs crazy to think back to the summer of 2007. The original iPhone had just launched and people were lined up to get their hands on the new โsmartphoneโ. Many of us could not have guessed just how powerful these handheld computers would become. Those that could probably retired from the stock increases.
Nearly ten years later, weโre running thermal cameras as plug and play attachments to our smartphones. Not only that, but theyโre also affordable.
Taking the FLIR One series to a higher level, designers gave us MSX โ a combination of thermal and visual image that changes the game. We first saw it on the FLIR C2. MSX uses a two camera system to give you hard lines to match up with the thermal image, making identification of objects much easier.
So whatโs the difference between the $199 FLIR One Gen 3 and the $399 FLIR One Pro? Mainly you get much higher thermal resolution at 160 x 120 and a slightly wider field of view.ย You also get FLIRโs VividIR โ an upgraded image processing system that results in more crisp and detailed images.
