content: I am starting this new thread in order to provide a repository for FLIR ONE G2 information that may be useful to others. It will be a work in progress that I will add to as and when I have new information.Please feel free to add your own useful information and comments. I am hopeful that this thread will prove a useful repository of knowledge.I will be including a list of phones that are known to work with the F1G2 that will be added to when I receive reports from other users. The post will include comment on the apparent frame rate as this very much depends upon the capability of the host phones CPU etc.Fraser

Silicon doublet (two silicon lens elements). This is wider than Lepton 2's 51 degree lens.

content: Phone report:Huawei P8HiSilicon Kirin 930 8 core 2Ghz + 1.5GhzMali-T628 MP4 GPU 1080*1920Android 5.0.2USB correct rotation: YESAPP runs fine but crashes after 7 seconds of video recording.LIGHT function also causes APP to crash immediately.Sometimes when APP firsts starts the image is just white with the MSX overlay and no colour gradient. I'll try take a screenshot next time.Frame rate seems to be maximum theoretical of 9Hz.Asus Nexus 7 (2013)Qualcomm Snapdragon S4Pro 4 core 1.5GhzAdreno 320 GPU 1200*1920Android 5.1.1USB correct rotation: NOAPP runs flawlessly.LIGHT function does nothing as there is no LED light on the device.Frame rate seems to be maximum theoretical of 9Hz.Because of the crong direction of the USB plug its kind of impractical to use except if I want to take funky selfies.(I feel its very important to note the orientation of the USB socket on the phone or pad, its basically useless if its around the wrong way. I'll make up an extension cable so I can use it practically on my Nexus 7)

content: Thanks for posting this information guys. I have been laid up sick since starting this thread and you have kindly covered two areas that I wanted to include. I invite others to add any information that they believe will be useful to others. I will add anything that I can contribute as and when able.I will definitely be carrying out a side by side comparison with TESTO and NEC thermal cameras of the same resolution.Fraser
