FLIR ONE any news?

[Jay_Diddy_B]

Hi,

Flir issued a press release in January 7th. 2014 with a worldwide roll-out for late spring 2014. This is a thermal imaging adapter for a smart phone. They don't mention if the device is a thermometer or if it is an imager.

Has anybody heard the release date?

Did anybody sign up to reserve one?

Regards,

Well it is kind of late for flir one for iPhone 5 and 5s
iPhone 6 is coming out soon
If buying the flir one, it will mean that it will need to keep the iPhone 5 or 5s
Even I think flir one it will be more of a toy than tool

I was waiting since flir showed last year.
But I end up buying 2 E4 in May
While it was still hackable.

... it will be more of a toy than tool

I have to agree with you to a point.  The fact that it's over $300 I'd have to say it'd be an expensive toy.  However, to use this as a tool to gather empirical data for a engineered item that is being tested for something like an aircraft (DO-160 and such) I don't think it could be used.  Our FLIR camera is sent of once a year to get it's official CAL.  The items used to calibrate the camera, mainly blackbodies, are also calibrated (really just measured) and tracked.  I doubt this will ever be used in any kind of official capacity.  But certain a cheep way to get that warm and fuzzy that your product is preforming thermally the way it was designed before heading off an official lab for score.

Still, I'm going to try and have our ENG department snag one of these up to put on our lab iPhone we use for testing communications with our products <router, SATCOM computer, etc.>
