I love it - this is a powerful tool for reverse-engineering a boat electrical system and otherwise spotting anomalies... I have used it for all sorts of debugging and cable-chasing, including an airflow issue on a friend's boat that was preventing proper cooling around the fridge. Being able to see into the thermal domain is both useful and fascinating... it spots phantom loads (battery killers), insulation problems including heat loss in piping, inconsistencies in fridge and freezer cabinets (surprisingly huge), inefficient power supplies, issues with equipment enclosure cooling, and even medically useful diagnostic data (is that persistent hotspot the result of chronic paraspinal contraction or inflammation?).
I consider this an essential tool, right up there with digital multimeter and oscilloscope.
One of the photos shows the audio console on my boat, with concentrated heat in the MOTU switches that are not getting adequate airflow since the cabinet fan is drawing from an open back. Need to fix that...
Another shows the espresso machine, which we would expect to be hot, but also the phantom load of the microwave controller. This is a reminder to turn off that breaker if I leave the boat unattended for a long time in a poor solar season without shore power.
The third image is the inside of my freezer, which is not even thermally uniform at all.
And the fourth might be a clue to why the CloudKey self-destructed... it was always very hot compared to the switch, router, and NAS.

From the manufacturer
Thermal imaging is one of the most powerful technologies ever developed to enhance human vision beyond what we see with our naked eyes. Human vision is limited to a very narrow 'visible' band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared radiation carries radiant heat and with its longer wavelength, cannot be seen by the human eye. Almost everything around us gives off or reflects heat, which can be 'seen' by thermal imaging.
FLIR ONE
Turning your smartphone into a brilliant phone.
The third generation FLIR ONE continues to hone the formula of the ultra-portable thermal camera. At a lower price, the FLIR ONE is here to outshine its older generation models.
- With a sturdy design, we’ve taken everything that made the previous models of the FLIR ONE so successful and have added in a few tweaks to this third generation model.
- Solve problems around the house, and see the world from a new perspective. With the FLIR ONE app, viewing real-time heat maps of your surroundings has never been easier.
FLIR ONE App
The improved app lets you access tips and tricks to continually see new ways to use thermal imaging. Stay connected to the user community and easily share your images on social media. See around corners and awkward spaced by connecting to your Apple Watch or Android smartwatch.

MSX TechnologyLike previous FLIR ONE models, the third generation includes both a visible and thermal camera. The magic happens through FLIR's patented, multispectral dynamic imaging, or MSX technology, which embosses a visible image over a thermal. The end-result is a better, crisper image, which helps improve overall quality and readability when you need it most. With the FLIR ONE, you won’t need to guess, you’ll just know. |
Thermal SuperpowersEven in complete darkness, users can visualize small temperature differences through the lens of the FLIR ONE. Whether you’re trying to determine why your room is so cold, why your wall is starting to bubble and turn awful new colors, or just trying to find where your dog is hiding in the backyard, the FLIR ONE will help you see the formerly unseen. |
OneFit Adjustable ConnectorAnother advancement we’ve developed with the third generation FLIR ONE is our OneFit adjustable height-connector. The OneFit allows you to adjust the length of the FLIR ONE connector so it can attach over most phone cases, eliminating the hassle of removing your case prior to use. The FLIR ONE also features a USB-C version for Android, so whether you want to take a picture of an object or take a thermal selfie (a ‘thermie’), Android users can flip the camera in whichever direction they want. |

Make sure you hold your mouth right and cross your fingers
First of all, it was extremely affordable compared to the $5,000+ I always expected to have to pay for an infrared camera. I only learned that such a thing existed rather recently, and I couldn't resist buying one. I've already found one outlet that had loose wires, and there is something weird going on in my electrical panel I need to sort out. I also learned that ordinary mirrors reflect in the infrared just like in the visible spectrum, which was something my intuition did not anticipate at all, and I found it very cool. (Mirror selfie attached.)The image quality definitely doesn't look anywhere close to some of the images I've seen out there, but this was less expensive by far than every other IR phone dongle I considered, and I feel like that's pretty much the compromise with buying such an inexpensive unit. All in all, it's definitely going to be useful and fun, but those really great looking images come from units at a higher price point.The major downside is that the unit will NOT connect reliably to a Samsung Galaxy S8+ in an Otterbox case. If you roll the connector out to the absolute maximum limit of extension, it connects just well enough to be dangerous. You might get it to connect and work briefly, but then your phone locks up completely, totally at random. I was terrified that I had bricked my phone. I had to look up how to do an emergency reset, and I went through all that before I even got the app to connect to the dongle and show me a picture. I thought I was out of the woods, then the phone locked up again. Nope. No way. Not worth the risk. So every time I use this, I have to take the time to chisel and chainsaw my way through getting the case off. I really seriously do not like that. I treat my phone like it's made of glass, because it is made of glass. Don't give me that stuff about "gorilla glass" either, because my screen cracked while the phone was sitting on my dresser, just because the planets were misaligned at the same time as a full moon when a spider waved its pedipalps just the right way. It's so easy to break this phone, even padding carefully around the house with the naked glass in my hand gives me cold chills. I very seriously DO NOT LIKE that, and that's where most of the stars went in this review.Battery life is probably adequate for any piddling I do around the house, but it would be useless to try to take this hunting or camping. I thought it might be useful for seeing well camouflaged deer and other hunters, and it might be, but only for a short time. That battery drains rapidly, and I would be surprised to drag an hour out of it. It also guzzles phone battery like an alcoholic locked in for the night at the Jack Daniels distillery.All in all, it's a neat toy, but it has major shortcomings. The largest concern by far is the fact that it is so easy to tickle the hardware in such a way that the phone locks up. This tickling is unavoidable with the case on my phone, and I've had it happen with the case off, just by failing to hold my mouth right or not crossing my fingers. It hasn't happened yet, but I worry that I could brick my phone with this thing, and that's just not cool. That alone guarantees I'm going to use this unit carefully, and infrequently, and it will live most of its life in a box until the day I'm ready to break out the chisels and chainsaws to get my case off.

The Flir ONE certainly meets my needs as a home owner and handyman, but I expect it could easily meet many professional requirements also. The superimposing of the thermal image with an outline from the phone's camera is very well done and demonstrates the great technology behind the product. As the accompanying photo shows, it can also check the health of your pet :-)

Great Unit. Somewhat high priced but worth it.

I was tempted to knock off a point for the lack of documentation (i.e. zero) and lack of functionality until you call the FLIR rep. and find that it needs to be charged before use. That aside, the Flir ONE (Android - USB-3) works wonderfully once you download the Flir app. from Google Play and charge the unit.Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2018

Its amazing to see the evolution of thermal imaging. 25 years ago, a FLIR thermal imaging camera cost $60k, required liquid nitrogen and was wheeled around on a cart.
Fast forward and I can connect a thermal imaging camera to my iPhone for under $200. Utterly amazing.
The unit arrived a day early and only required a 1hr charge prior to use. It is very easy to use, allows you to select different color pallets, snaps pix and takes video very well. When there’s is visible light, it paints a wire frame image in the thermal image making it easier to see what’s going on. Battery life seems to be about 30 min so not great but considering the size, it makes sense.
I’m using it to find why one of our bedrooms is so cold and it’s working. I’ll also use it to find leaks in my irrigation system and who knows what else.
This is a great purchase. If u need a thermal imager, this one will work well.
I hope you like my thermal selfie:) it gives an idea as to the picture quality
