Wauue thx guys very informative thread and certainly interesting 110k alternative to Opgals Thermapp..
sadly also been hooked by this expensive IR world syndrome in the seek for details and been trying to comprehend an overview from a noob perspective, as these tool are insanely pricey here in Scandinavia Denmark.and the prices are useally inflated by a factor of +80 to 90% in regards to USA retail after DK techtaxing, import and further +25% VAT..
I have looked at the Seek pro, and most sellers here list it at 800 to 850USD.
Finally found a Seek pro unit so-called new to 290USD plus a minor shipping-fee from US and took the plunge and label it for for no further taxing as the limit here is insamely low 13USD, sadly this socaled new unit Seek pro was IOS so reached out to Seek to ask if I could just use adapter with datapins' as in lightning to Micro USB.. they where not 100% sure, as the hardware was not identical, but mostly the other way around as Apple got some hardware surface mount attachment to make it valid but in theory it should work.
In the end' didn't wanna risk it' as 290 USD is still some dope and not least it wouldn't be fair in regards to the seller I was purchasing it from it from' to experience and not check it firsthand on a native system if there was any problem.
So instead jumped on my first IOS device,. and picked up a new 292 Euro IPad 2018 vers. with a lightning port from the UK and been having a field day with this IR-world. (very fascinating)
Here is some examples (link below) on what Im getting with this device,but the focus distance maxes out at 20cm, instead purchased & for at the moment got some cheap IR macro-lenses in transit. 1x20mm to 4½$ and 1x12mm 8$ incl shipping if they any good, don't know, I'm a noob and mostly learning as I go..but coming around this forum will be a helping hand and was not familiar that EEVblog was active in the world of IR cameras, but there is certainly some competent people in here, who knows their stuff.
Below videos all with Seek Pro IOS. (el cheapo-device at 290 USD with a 240x320 sensor and sadly the trees doesn't grow into the sky at this low price ballpark and after reading this thread got an appetite for Thermal Expert low key editions, if they were valid around the 500 USD ballpark. but if the price has raised here 2 years later with a factor of+100% (+999USD) it goes without saying it tumbles the purchase, - as after mandatory danish taxing and another +25% VAT it will not make sense. particularly not in regards to the result below from an 290 USD value..)

But so far I do cherish the above thermal- result and I reckon I need to put out at least 3 to 4x times that to get any obvious better result at 320x240 or above sensorspecs, are there any obvious choices in the budget sub 1k USD ballpark. if one wanna upgrade from Seek pro, other then Therm-app 9hz vers. or Thermal Expert or a hacked Flir E4. which all seem to start from around 1000 USD.?
-new to the forum will take a look after a Seek pro thread and ask if somebody perhaps have tested their IOS version on an Android edition true basic adapters, but if its common knowledge, please state it..
