#30 Thermal Master P2 Pro review and comparison with FLIR One Pro

Listen Later

As you can expect, there is no “best thermal camera” out there, so here I compare functionality and features of these two, so you can decide which is best for you.

TL;DW: both cameras offer similar features, FLIR mobile app is easier to use (mostly), but TM has superior hardware. TM P2 Pro also has a lower price, so it provides a better value overall.

Both cameras are usable for home inspections, PCB inspections, some limited wildlife tracking, but don't expect very accurate temperature measurements from either one.

Some notes that did not make into video:

  • TM app allows tracking high/low temperatures in a specific region of the screen
  • TM uses the phone's battery while FLIR has its own built-in battery
  • TM has AI resolution enhancement which is basically fancy interpolation
  • FLIR allows adjusting how far the connector comes out of the camera
  • Both cameras work with USB-C iPhones using the adapter
  • Neither camera works with USBC-to-Lightning adapter while using the lightning extension cord
  • Neither camera works while connected to a Mac.
