content: Uni Trend have released a pocket thermal camera for users who need such convenience without the use of a mobile phone. The camera is a bit like having a pocket tape measure with you..... convenient for those times when a full size camera is not available. Resolution is only 80 x 60 but that may be enough for some tasks.https://www.uni-trend.com/html/product/Environmental/Thermal_Imager/UTi80ThermalImager/UTi80P.htmlThe pocket thermal camera appears to be a market that will continue to expand. Convenience is King these days and people are used to electronics miniaturisation and pocket sized hi-tech like phones.The UTI80p is £275 on eBay at the moment. No idea if that is the best price for it though.Fraser

content: One comment on the specs.... the FOV is very large for such a low resolution sensor array. This increases the IFOV and limits the usefulness of the unit for any PCB work, even with a close-up lens element fitted.The temperature range of the unit is better than I would have expected. I was pleased to see that the sensor uses 17um pixels rather than 12um as such are less demanding of the hardware and software when it comes to noise management.Fraser

content: I just read that the UTI80p uses a sensor array imported from the USA so not a French ULIS or Chinese sensor.Fraser

content: So it's a Lepton 2 in high gain mode? The second and fifth image show the backside of the device. Which has to be a rendering as it looks like an visible phone camera lens.

content: On the Uni-T homepage is a second picture of the backside which could be a real photo.https://www.uni-trend.com/html/product/Environmental/Thermal_Imager/UTi80ThermalImager/UTi80P.htmlIt appears to have a black protection window (made of chalcogenide glass or germanium?) like the FLIR One.
