Fluke Ti 20 Thermal imager 1

[Pavel2]

We are getting one of these soon. I am a vibration analyst and want to use this camera as a sideline. Is it any good and what exactly can I use it for, ie Electrical panels, machinery etc?
Thanks

You may want to post over at maintenanceforums.com. The thermography forum there seems more active than here.

The Ti20 is a great camera for many electrical and mechanical applications. The app notes on the Fluke website will get you started but I would strongly recommend you get training and work carefully to get qualifying experience. Of course, I AM biased as we do the training for Fluke! Regardless, if you take your time to learn the basics, this camera will pay handsome returns for years to come.

The Ti20 is not a very high quality camera. I have owned this camera and now I own a Flir Infracam and would never go back. Who ever says a Fluke is a great camera has never owned a Flir Camera. Flir has more to choose from along with great packages. Fluke can't make the quality or the price of the Flir Cameras.

"Who ever says a Fluke is a great camera has never owned a Flir Camera." I've used both brands extensively. While I can appreciate you may have preferences, I would also strongly suggest that both brands have pluses and minuses. In my experience both are quality instruments that can get the job done when properly used.
