Hey everyone,

I would love to find out if anyone has had experience with Flir One Pro and Flir i3. From what I have read they both seems to be entry level cheap thermal imaging cameras. Is it worth for me spending a few hundred dollars more on the i3? Looks like the sensor on Flir One pro is 160 x 120, and i3 is only 60 x 60. Does this mean that the quality is better on the one pro?

Appreciate your advice.

Kind of depends on what you want it to do.

According to specs, while the Flir One Pro has more pixels, it also has a much larger field of view 55 deg vs 12 deg, and poorer accuracy.

I recently picked up a Seek CompactPro because it has the best specifications in a cheap camera for my close up PCBA viewing.
