I rank this among the most useful articles I’ve read on SB. Thank you!
I agree Butch! This has to win this round. Easily one of the top ten for useful budget information! How creative.
So how much is invested in this setup if you were to include the phone and all? Because I know myself, I would use a dedicated phone for the purpose.
Will it work with an android tablet?
The Seek XR does not work on my LG 8 pad.
But I kept my S3 when I went to the S8 and it works like a champ. But hadn’t thought of the VR headset. Just ordered it from Amazon.
Good article! How nice it would have been to have one of these during the fire. (I’m on the north side of the river, very close to where it jumped). I could see many uses for this from an operational standpoint, to checking areas for heat loss around the house.
Back in 1979, while stationed in South Korea with the G-2 Second Infantry Division, one of my NCOs reported two soldiers outside taking photographs of the building. Since photography was prohibited, and they weren’t G-2 guys, I investigated. They were Engineers from DC, doing an energy survey with a new thermal camera. They demonstrated the capabilities of the camera, which really caught my attention since it was about one fifth the size of then existing image intensifiers. We borrowed the camera, and tested its usefulness under field conditions, including patrols in the DMZ. That was the safest I ever felt on a night ambush patrol, as that camera let me see every small animal rustling thru the leaves.
Re: Dedicated phone
I have tried the Seek app with various Android phones and tablets and it basically has to be a newer phone (like Anroid 5.2 or newer)
The app relies on things like on-the-go (connecting USB thumb drives to your phone) to provide power to the camera.
Very good idea thanks. We always keep are old phones so we have a couple of S3’s we can use
What was the temp difference needed to distinguish objects? How long did it hold a image(hand print on a object/hot breath from behind cover?)
Black isn’t best at night… And the flashlight concern is why the flir scouts with one eye only are preferable… Otherwise, great post.
