This Simple Attachment Turns Your Phone Into A High-Tech Thermal Camera

You can only pick up so much going on around you with your smartphone. It might seem like a magical device that can do practically anything, but without a FLIR ONE Pro-Grade Thermal Camera there’s an entire world of thermal imaging that’s escaping your naked eye.

The FLIR ONE Pro is the top of the FLIR line, and will turn your smartphone into an advanced thermal camera worthy of professional-grade usage. If you only know heat vision from TV shows, movies, and video games, you might be surprised to see just how useful it can be in your day-to-day life. And if you already use thermal imaging, the FLIR ONE Pro can make your smartphone even more useful than it already is.

Once you attach a FLIR ONE Pro to your phone, you’ll be able to use it for household tasks like spotting leaks in pipes or in your home’s insulation. Ever lose a pet at night? The FLIR ONE will help you find it by tracking their body heat even in pitch darkness. And of course it reasonably follows that you’ll be able to use the FLIR ONE to discover all the other wildlife that might be lurking about in the murk after dark.

FLIR ONE PRO THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA – (IOS OR ANDROID)

Household repairs and invisible animals are all well and good, but the FLIR ONE Pro has myriad applications beyond them. If you’re a creative type, you’ve probably already begun to imagine the different artistic uses one could find with a thermal imaging camera, and if you have (or teach) kids, that opens up a whole other area of possibilities, as well.

The longer you use the FLIR ONE Pro, the more uses you’re likely to find for it. As its name suggests, it’s the professional-grade upgrade to the FLIR One, and boasts a maximum native resolution of 19,000 pixels as well as a wide array of pre-programmed measurement tools. It can also capture an expanded range of temperatures compared to the regular FLIR One, up to 752 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you’re ready to turn your smartphone into a heat vision device just like a Predator’s or Samus Aran’s, you’ll be happy to know that the FLIR ONE Pro is likely compatible with your own iOS or Android device, and is currently priced at just $399.99 at the FLIR online store. So head over to their website and check it out, today.
