The InfiRay P2 Pro.
I'm a big fan of Android smartphones with built-in thermal cameras, such as the awesome Ulefone Power Armor 18T.
I also understand that some people just don't want to have to swap out their smartphones to get access to this useful superpower.

A feature of the P2 Pro app I really like is that along with crosshairs at the center of the image are two more that pick up the highest and lowest temperature in the shot. The P2 Pro app gives you a raft of thermal information. Then there is the macro lens. Here's the magnetic macro lens for the P2 Pro. Popping the macro lens onto the front of the camera lets you get up close and personal with what you're looking at, giving you better resolving power to really home in. Let's get up close with the macro lens. Here's a closeup thermal image. The software offers a lot of customization options without being packed with unnecessary features. The P2 Pro software is well thought out. This thermal camera is awesome, especially considering the price. Not sure what you can do with one? Here are just a few things you can do with a thermal camera: My tip for learning to use a thermal camera is to use it to look at things when they aren't faulty -- your radiators, car brakes, electrical stuff, anything -- and that way you get to know how things should look, so you can tell when things aren't working right. Also: I recommend this $50 anti-spy camera finder and bug detector to anyone traveling I find the thermal camera so useful that I turn to it without thinking about it. Just now, I wanted to know if an electrical appliance was getting power. Instead of reaching for a multimeter, I used my thermal camera to see if anything was warming up on the inside. Once I saw components heating up, that eliminated a load of possible problems. I've been testing a number of thermal cameras -- both cameras that are standalone and cameras that attach to smartphones -- and the InfiRay P2 Pro is the best. It's small, the macro lens makes it super flexible, it's fast and accurate, and it doesn't need to be charged up separately. This is a fantastic addition to any repair toolkit, and if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can get $70 off the list price of the iPhone version as well.
