The problem with this kind of tool is that in a few months or a year the software is not working anymore on the newer smartphones and the vendor is not updating it because they want you to buy the newer models. I have been in that street... I never by anymore a tool to put on a smartphone, they change far to quickly. Thats why I have a handheld model with screen, processor and battery so it can work for years to come. I have also a macro lens to go close to the device which makes it very usefull. But nevertheless its a nice tool and I hope you can enjoy it for a long time.

@@tekeraq Yeah but I've bought a similar type of camera (I'm waiting for it to get delivered) and it has a community made pc program that gives you back the functionality that's on the Android app. So it purely depends on the chipset and available documentation.
was search for a good thermal camera and found this model on ebay and when i searched for a review in google it got me to my favorite electronics channel so am really happy
I bough very cheap on the release sale a uni-t uti120 90x120 last year. It´s just ok for electronics, although being also 25Hz helps to see pulsing. They have now a newer model with the same resolution as yours (probably same board) but cheaper, but it has fixed focus. For electronics yours looks fantastic. Having the microscope arm, if it was mine, I would try to design a 3Dprinted adapter to clip the phone with the camera there.
Hot damn I want one!.. don't really have a use for one but it sure looks fun.. even better than the old night scopes we used to use.. Well done.. I guess you have gotten your last scar on your fingers eh? Carry on son!
congrats on the new camera but I would love to see it working on a laptop mother board that you haven't done the short yourself :) maybe on another laptop repair video :)
I recently bought a thermal camera with a decent quality and I actually do search and finds my cats at night when they are missing for too long and its actually very useful XD 1:15
I knew you would buy one even though you asked us if you should, lol, saves burning the back of your fingers or petrol splashed everywhere, a step up I’d say, congrats
I did get a camera to put on the phone too, to most people it's the logical choice! An articulated arm (I repurposed a spring arm loupe) and a phone holder goes a long way with that (;
I don't trust mobile OS hardware or software. A little into the future and products are likely to become completely useless and unsupported without warning. If you're lucky, a community may build an open source software around it. I'd much rather buy a camera with a screen and everything already built into it. External monitor, etc.
The sensor isn't nearly sensitive enough to pick up thermal IR, only IR from remote controls etc. Anyway, what are you going to use to block the visible spectrum?!
Thermal camera and infrared is not the same. The thermal camera uses a thermopile sensor, it doesn't reacy to light. Also the lens is not made from glass, but selenium which is opaque to light.
If you are looking for a camera on a stand, you can look at TB-03 Infrared Imaging. I'm thinking my self about this, but it's always this price barrier.
Hi sorrin you can connect the phone to the same wifi network and then u can mount it above your work area. U can see it on a big screen aswell as add it to ur recording like pic in pictures. I am using a cat s6 wich had a flir. You also can control it with a mouse..
Sorin, to put the phone screen on PC screen in real-time to stream/record with OBS, if you'd like, try out TeamViewer or Vysor. TeamViewer needs wifi, Vysor needs wifi or cable. And Vysor is better - it's faster (at least if you use cable. never tried wifi). Thank you for the video!
Don't have this one, but after seeing some other reviews of it the range also seems to be quite impressive. I saw videos where it detects the heat signature of deer like 150-200 meters away. At that distance the manual focus and higher resolution really kick in and make a huge difference compared to some of the flir one cameras and others, but also the fact that the chinese companies can sell much better tech because the US have pretty strict restrictions on IR camera technology available for the public. Not sure if it's software allows it, but pretty often you can also adjust the threshold levels for the cold colors (or the temperature range in general) which raises the contrast of the image if you're just looking for minor temperature changes.
Good afternoon, congratulations for the good content you generate. Please help choosing which thermal camera to buy, I am looking at the HTI HT-H8, also the HTI HT-301 and the Qianli Super Cam 3D Your opinion would be very helpful, thank you very much for your time.
i'm happy for you Sorin, look like a good one for you to make life easier rather than petrol and burnt finger which btw i am quite impressed when i saw this on your videos but yes thermal camera is cool too..is there a way for us to see what you see instead of looking out camera into smartphone then image. eg direct image from the HT-301 into a PIP mini screen? some kind of dongel usb-c. i dunno if possible but would be cool to see more directly into your work area with you..
On the desk I like using usb-c extension cables. Like having the camera amounted to the arm of the microscope and then plugging an extension cord into the phone when needed.
The camera has great resolution - the best I've seen to date - not that I've studied them. As I commented on your prior video, you have no need of such high resolution on a thermal camera for repair work. If your objective is to look for mud on your cat in the yard, or to look at your circuit board when it is switched off, then maybe. You have just spent double what you needed to, to get a thermal camera for work. And the camera falls to bits if you turn the focus too far! Then, when you look inside it (after it fell apart!), it has so much dust inside, it looks as though it was assembled in a chicken coup... I'm struggling to work out whether you're serious here, or if you're winding us up! [Edited for typos.]
This looks like a really good camera. For me its getting a little too expensive. I may choose a camera which has a slightly lower resolution but hopefully it will still be good enough to be useful.
I have it and have used it for more than 2 years. Some good things and some bad. The tolerances on the threads for the front lens are sloppy. I had to wrap the threads with 3.5 mil. Teflon tape to take up the slack. Now when I focus the lens it stays in place. I did a side-by-side comparison with the FLIR, and the HTI-301 was able to see more (i.e. under paint to identify a cavity in wood siding). I do have to reset the camera from time to time, so that's not great. I also picked up a 2' long USB-C female to male cord so I could fit the camera into small spaces that I didn't want to send my phone into.
600+ thermal camera with 100 pounds of dust on it... i spent 249 euros on a flir one 5 years ago.. and this is enough to track shorts without issues ... Sorin I can't understand you... sometimes you need that customers sent you wires... you burned your fingers for years and now you are buying a thermal camera at a price similar to the same of an used car...
Please, sir, i need advice between UNI-T Ut260b handheld and infiray p2 pro detachable. Which should i go for Please sir just for repairs and also consider outdoor and indoor use battery life and the rest... thank for the answer sir 🙏
So does this camera have a live and thermal picture? As most thermal cameras like this don't work well, as the live camera is the phone camera and the thermal camera is plugged in at the other end of the phone, leaving a big gap between each picture. But this looks good.
I think the resolution on this camera is so good, that it means that it's not necessary to use a visual camera overlay, so this point is moot. The thermal camera is far too good for board repair work though, which is reflected in its price.
Sorin, eu as incerca ceva, nu stiu daca ar merge si anume: sa instalezi pe calculator "BlueStacks" (daca nu sti ce este, este un emulator prin care poti sa iti creezi un "telefon virtual" pe calculator, apoi instalezi aplicatia pentru camera in acest "telefon virutual" si conectezi camera printr-un cablu USB C-USB la calculator.
Whats the matter, dont you like to burn your fingers anymore ? would this be the same as a "night vision" camera? These techy things puts you in another league for pople that need this kind of thing. Do you have to download a speacial app for your new camera? Anyone that produces these high tech devices would do themself a favor to send you their devices for review and would find they sell more of their products. Thank yuu
Hi, does bad electric voltage and current damage to laptop's bios and charging condition, my laptop's bios was break down and I had a charging problem and service center solved the problem taking off and replace the bios battery, does electricity have an effect on bios, thanks

Sorin suddenly turned to a pro photographer with thermal camera
That's an impressive image for a thermal camera. Can you use it on a Windows or Linux PC with a USB-C to USB adapter?
Sorin's and Richard's channel are today's top electronics place of information. Thank you both.
Agree that would be great, but from what I read it works but it the color gradient is software based, it outputs in gray scale

Congratulations, great money invested to continue working and learning on this channel.🤗🤔
Funny, poetics, pragmatic... I'm a great fan of you Sorin.
Looks fantastic! I have a Fluke TiS10 that doesn't even come close to that resolution.......
Those are spooky intros, love it.
Sorin you are a legend !!! Thank you for everything
i can’t work anymore without a thermal camera and after you get one you will never go back for sure
That is really the best cellphone thermal camera I 've ever seen !
I loved the way you looked behind you when you said the price, checking if the wife was listening???? 😂
Thank you god Sorin has a thermal cam :D
Just bought one! Excited to try it out. Thanks for taking the time to make this review. Respect.
was search for a good thermal camera and found this model on ebay
and when i searched for a review in google it got me to my favorite electronics channel so am really happy
Finally.. no more hurting your fingers.
Big ups
It looks great so happy that you finally got one Sorin, but for me honestly i wouldn't pay 500 pound to buy it 😝😝😝
gz on thermal cam ! now we gonna have so much fun and new experiences ! cant wait for all the new videos !
congratulations on the new toy! excellent value for that price

think it will be more easier to use with cable (USB-C to USB-C ) to contact your camera to smart phone
gone be fun watching you find new tricks
Nice buy
You can use it. We will see if you need it. Easy find the problem I think. Thanks 🙏
Now u have everything proper tools
It’s about time Sorin!😂😂😂
No more burnt fingers Sorin. I'm happy for you. :)
Congrats on your new thermal camera! It looks like you nailed it with this choice.
congrats on the new camera but I would love to see it working on a laptop mother board that you haven't done the short yourself :) maybe on another laptop repair video :)
finally friday!finally thermal camera!congrats sorin.
recenly heard; if you see a group of people walking along, statistically, the folks walking the fastest will also be the people who live the longest.
this looks awesome Sorin, very good resolution and refresh rate.....seems to be leaving my Compact Pro in the dust.
Is there something inconvenient with seek compact pro?
I am happy for you!
congratulations, but I'm going to miss seeing you using the Zipo Petrol
Seems better than my seek compact Pro with macro lens.
Looks like better resolution?
Nice one Sorin
I recently bought a thermal camera with a decent quality and I actually do search and finds my cats at night when they are missing for too long and its actually very useful XD 1:15

Looks good only bad color pallets. I.m happy you finnaly got one. How its going now with the bunny.

You'll pay a lot much when you already have the best mobile (oled) screen.
Congrats to you sorin,,now you are upgrading also your tools like i do😁😁😁👏👏👏
Try building your own termal camera by removing the IR filter.
It's a good alternative for someone how dosen't have the same budget
The sensor isn't nearly sensitive enough to pick up thermal IR, only IR from remote controls etc.
Anyway, what are you going to use to block the visible spectrum?!
Thermal camera and infrared is not the same. The thermal camera uses a thermopile sensor, it doesn't reacy to light. Also the lens is not made from glass, but selenium which is opaque to light.
It's nowhere near the actually product, but its a low budget alternative.
You could use a exposed photography film to block visible light.
Thank you for sharing this good review.
If you are looking for a camera on a stand, you can look at TB-03 Infrared Imaging. I'm thinking my self about this, but it's always this price barrier.

Finally!! no more burned fingers over shorted capacitors
I learn from from you.Great info thanks
Hi sorrin you can connect the phone to the same wifi network and then u can mount it above your work area. U can see it on a big screen aswell as add it to ur recording like pic in pictures.

you can clean the sensor with compressed air

Idk, maybe clean the sensor with compressed air?
Don't use any cloth, that's for sure
So...does this mean no more hearing you call naptha (or is it napthalene?) "Petrol"?
Something with similar specs and cheaper is the Unit 260B. I have one and it works great.
The resolution is quite different though if someone cares about it. The ht301 has like 2x the resolution of the 260b.
