I am firyptunate to have many other cameras to pick from though so I am spoilt in that respect. I have not owned a ‘thermal torch’ format camera since and then along came the Seek Reveal ! The same issue of display angle vs lens axis exists but I am tolerant of it as I wanted a compact thermal camera and the Reveal format is acceptable in my usage case.

I tested the FLIR original Ex series cameras that were of the ‘Thermal Torch’ design and did not like the angle of the display. Other designs with various angles between the lens axis and display panel to suit the application. ‘Top down’ format that have the display almost 90 degrees to the lens axis. Mobile phone format with little or some lens to display offset depending upon design 4. Adjustable angle display or EVF as found on camcorders 3. Standard on-axis scope as used on rifles and recon scopes 2. This is offered by most ‘Pistol grip’ camera designs and is very easy to use. Like you, I normally prefer the roughly ‘in-line’ minimal offset format. Fraserĭisplay vs Lens axis angle is an interesting topic There have been many thermal camera case designs over the years that offered novel display to lens axis angles. I wish them well in that market as we need affordable medical thermal imaging technology that actually delivers on its promises. Without a lock-in reference I believe the Seek Thermal cores would struggle with measurement accuracy. Seek cores may be capable of both if used with an accurate temperature reference in the FOV and lock-in thermography techniques. I say “adequate” because Fever Detection Thermography demands excellent temperature measurement accuracy and reasonable resolution. I suspect Seek Thermal are now VERY focussed on the fever detection thermal camera market as it offers a huge sales opportunity to them if their products are adequate for the role. How appropriate they are for Fire Fighting or covert Law Enforcement is open to discussion but it shows that Seek Thermal were keen to push the Reveal series into some pretty specialist markets. I still like the Seek Reveal series and there are even Fire Fighting and Law Enforcement variants now. ‘All in one’ solutions appeal to those of us who just want to use the camera as a tool and gather data with as little fuss as possible. The Dongles are very much like SDR receivers in this respect.

The Seek Thermal Dongles have a far greater following in this forum as some users prefer the Dongle format and experimenters like the ability to choose their host and modify/create the software that interprets the output of the dongle. I repaired them and they were absolute bargains for what I paid for them. The last Seek Reveal cameras that I bought were faulty standard and XR models in Fast Fame and <9fps variants.

It could have come straight off the set of Star Trek I went on to buy a used but ‘as new’ Seek Reveal Pro <9fps model. I was attracted to the Reveal by its very nice case design and decent imaging performance. I bought the Seek Reveal PRO FastFrame model at a very good discount and consider it to be a very neat and capable little ‘budget’ camera. My only previous experience of Seek Thermal cameras was their original MK1 Dongle and it was not a very happy experience so I rehomed it. I was pleasantly surprised by its imaging performance considering its cost. I own the seek Reveal series of cameras and only decided to buy one after using a standard Seek Reveal while visiting a friend.

I have also wondered why the Seek Shot did not appear to be more popular.

Here’s some differences between Pro/Non-Pro, besides the resolution/FOV: (non-pro)-quick-review/ I kinda wonder why they don’t get popular on this forum, I think they have good performance/price ratio, and are general purpose TICs, without ITAR. Bad Although the bugs listing are longer in text length, I still consider them as good products, especially for the price. On device analysis and post processing for still pictures. Minimum auto range is only 1 Kelvin, which makes contrast much better than Flir’s 4 Kelvin. The “performance/cost/size” triangle is good enough. Good Self-contained, do not need a phone or a host like a dongle. Here is a quick personal review about Seek Shot Series, for anyone interested.
