I Phone 5 Users And Beyond

[ISSWWW]

This new (ish) product from Flir is proving very popular, http://www.flir.com/flirone/ , it might look a bit of a gimmick but it really does have some great uses in general contracting and plumbing situations.

This particular model is for iPhone 5 / 5s but very soon they will have one for 6 and Android.

We have it on our site here http://isswww.co.uk/flir-one-thermal-imaging-adaptor-for-smartphones and of course we can do the Forum membership a special price of £120.00 plus Vat

Or 

If you are in the Market for a Megger MFT1720 we are offering one of these Free as a gift http://isswww.co.uk/megger-mft1720

Would this work with a Blackberry Leap?

I have a workaround so can download apps from Google Play.

Can you save images - even a simple screenshot?

I want to do a small study looking at heat generated in cow's feet using different kinds of abrasive disc. This would be perfect. (if it would work with my phone and allow me to save images).

It's common to use an angle grinder with various discs to trim the majority of material off overgrown cows feet.

Most professional trimmers use ones with blades:

But various abrasive discs are sold for this purpose:

Generating too much heat can be a bad thing. No-one has looked into this as far as I know.

Thanks for spotting that, cream always rises to the top

 

[kerching]

Total bullsh1t.

Is the UDDER Flir a better one?

Will this one actually record images so I can show them to clients...just thinking of a 'quick add on' for Inspection reports

Seriously thinking about getting one....next time somebody chooses to pay me!

...did you get my pm about Armeg?

 

[Andy™]

get a flir TG-165...

 

[kerching]

get a flir TG-165...

I was looking at those.....but spare money is tighter than a Nun's chuff at present.

SERIOUSLY not good at present...and it is quite likely to get worse for a couple'of months!!

Then it should get a LOT better

Could be worse, could be working outside in the rain

 

[NozSpark]

What rain

Bugger.

I might see if I can get the Android app working and take a punt when the Android version is launched

How long do you want a flir imager for Pache ?

Potentially a week or two. Dependant on getting enough cows feet and the gear together.

Worth a punt at £120.....

 

[kerching]

What rain

I have been fitted with my own personal rain cloud!

Mind you, Carol Kirkwood ( breakfast weather BBC) could brighten up a rainy day for me. Puts up a very acceptable 'Warm Front'

Just saying

Okay this attitude REALLY bugs me.

It's a CAMERA with a USB interface.  Okay not an optical camera but an IR camera.

WHY OH WHY tie it's use into certain brands of smart phone for which they supply an "app"

Why not give it the same interface as any other camera? then it could be used with any phone or even any PC that can use a USB web cam.

I would quite like one to plug into a laptop for instance.

They really are limiting their market by making it just a posh add on for a few makes of smart phone rather than making it a generic USB IR camera.

Hopefully something will be along from Hong Kong or China soon to properly address market needs......... (probably useing their ripped off technology, serves them right for restricting it too much)

 

[Andy™]

i think it may be more to do with the way blackberry USB port works rather than the app

 

[kerching]

VET.........Cow..........Angle Grinder

Sounds like Mr Chinnerry of League of Gentlemen

"Ah, has ickle Daisy got poorly woorly toesy woesies?....I will get the angle grinder..."

Dave,

That's similar to a Windoze program working on mac or Ubuntu, 

It's just that silly people that buy iThings will buy expensive iAddons,  

Android, on the other hand is a LOAD of different manufacturers all using the same OS,  

 

[Blue Duck]

Apple have 32% of the smartphone market and android have 58%, 30% of that being Samsung. So that's 90% of smartphone users that these devices are aimed at I wouldn't say that's a narrow market. :C

There is also the flir c2 which is about £600 probably the same as an iPhone 6 and the flir one? I'm sure MM stocks them.
