Thermal Master Thermal Imager

These are thermal, not Infrared cameras, returning temperature data in a tight and tidy bundle that can be plugged into Android, IOS, and other USB devices (like Raspberry-Pi SBCs!).

What use is it? Here's what we've done with it over the last month:

• Did thermal house-leakage analysis using on my Android phone.
• Successfully diagnose a stuck-open thermostat on my truck (it was taking very long to heat up in our freezing Calgary winter).
• Detected a bruise forming on my forearm before it was visible
• Diagnose a bad voltage regulator on a motherboard
• Count animals in the park across the street
• Use some excellent open-source software to run it on a Rock Pi SBC for in-store demos

And it's small. The basic unit starts at just over $220, and there are models with additional macro-settings, pistol-grip mounts, and advanced software settings.

Presently not on the website yet, but it is available in-store at Active-Tech Calgary.
