I posted this is the buy/sell/trade forum but figured I would cross-post it here as well.

This is for both the iOS and Android versions.

Wow. Now I really fell sorry for all the backers of HemaVison.
In 2020 when (if) they get their 80x60 TI for 250$, Flir and Seek will already be selling 320x240 units at that price...

US only - Canada gets screwed again. Anyone have suggestions for a good forwarding service?

I use this one to get stuff from US to Europe... https://calculator.shipito.com

Saw this today and picked it up, wish there was a full resolution application for iOS like Android.  Interesting to see what the Seek CompactPRO will be like as well.

Looks like the iOS version is OOS. Android is still avaliable for $179

Thanks for posting....just did it...been wanting one for awhile....

On the fence, still pondering the Android version. Almost pulled the trigger but....just can't quite do it.

Looks like the iOS version is OOS. Android is still avaliable for $179

Could still order for August delivery.

That appears to have been a super quick flash sale. I managed to buy one just in time. Now I need to send the one I bought on Saturday for full price back.

EDIT: It actually appears to be only one per person. So when you look back after making the purchase it changes back to full price. The sale price is still on!

Many thanks

Amazon UK seen to have a prime day deal of £149 for the iOS version only at the moment. Android one is back up to £199. These deals don't last long!

Mine showed up today, wow it's small, compared to the FLIR ONE Gen 1 I had.  Pleased with the thermal images thus far, can absolutely see the improvements.  Am disappointed there is no software option to disable MSX.  Wish we had a iOS version of that impressive Android application by Georg.

[NathanFowler]

Indeed MSX can be disabled with some hackery, head nod and thanks to Fraser for the fix and FLIR for turning off the visible camera in low light situations.  Finger over the visible light camera produces noise as gain increases and translucent tape is hit or miss.  Electrical tape double layer through a single hole puncher works great; MSX disabled.

[NathanFowler]

So, interestingly enough, the Flir ONE application attempts to overlay an MSX image to the thermal image with the camera gain turned all the way up.  This washes out the thermal image and produces some edge detect artifacts.  The Flir Tools application does not exhibit this behavior.  Looks like a software bug.

Edit:  The behavior described above is on iOS

Confirmed fixed in 2.0.51 released Jul 15, 2016.  Thanks FLIR!

[NathanFowler]

Oh WOW, FLIR really did great in this release, I am on an iPhone 5S on 8.4 and a former FLIR ONE G1 user and this new release is almost realtime and so much faster.  Maybe they fixed the high gain visible camera lag introduction and during low light situations disable MSX entirely inclusive of the edge finding algo.


Highly recommend 2.0.51 for similar use cases as mine.  Night/day difference in speed!
