Quality review man, thanks for sharing this!
nice video. P2pro is amazing for PCB repairing, already got one
I got this about 2 month ago after a lot of research and IMHO it's the best bang for buck.
Plan to strap the USB cable to a selfie stick at some point for a more manoeuvrable and composable ensemble (as it's pretty hard not to touch the phone screen while voltage injecting with the other hand).
My only "complaint" is that the macro lens' working distance is too small. I guess it's useful for those extra crowded iPhone boards but I would prefer it to be around 5cm for my use cases. There's a pretty big gap between without ~20cm and with the lens ~2.5cm.
Having an adjustable macro lens like on the DytSpectrumOwl camera is the way to go for full flexibility.. maximizing field of view, working distance, etc. However that falls into a different price bracket..
@@voltlog Indeed, for hobby level this camera ticks all the boxes (and more) at a reasonable price. I was able to spot a trace getting hot even without the macro lens.
You could even mount it on a cheap articulated arm from an Ikea lamp and connect it to a tablet/PC for a full hands free experience.
Nice specs compared to the others indeed.
I use "TopDon TC001" software on my Windows 11 computer and the Infiray P2 PRO works great
Nice! Must be based on the same sensor.. same SDK
You can buy CO2 laser cut lens and you can build a macro lens with a 3D Print enclosure for your Uni-t.
If you have a set of lenses, you can have different focal points.
I recently bought a thermal camera that goes with the name of " EM256", which i believe uses the same driver or sensor, since that app works with my camera.
A couple of years ago when I first got the UNI-T camera, there was no OEM camera lens option and designing a custom yet usable mount was just not something I was willing to spend time on. Now that there is a commercially available macro lens from UNI-T, more people will have access to it.
What material can you make a lens out of DIY?
Maybe a dumb thought, but I thought Infrared wasn't great at passing through glass. All the glass lenses I've put on my thermal cameras do not work.
They don't need to be germanium or something similar?
@@PowerScissor you buy the lens you make the holder.
@@voltlog I see, I thought he meant you can cut your own lens with a CO2 laser.
Did you try the detachable lens to the UNI-T? Maybe a 3D printed adapter?

Hi. Can you connect it to a drone too?
discount code not work for android in US, I would love to order if I can get a discount code, Thanks
Nice camera. I might give it a try when i have upgraded to iPhone 15. At the moment I use a Flir one with lightning connector ant this will stop working with my next iPhone due to USB-C I assume.
Dont worry Apple will sell you an adapter :D
Well.. let's just wait and see if the next one get's a USB-C or no port at all..
What I don't like on these smartphone accessories: in 5 or 10 years they might still be useful but might also stop working if the developer stops updating the corresponding app, which might then be no longer compatible with a current phone. So you might need to keep an old smartphone to keep using these gadgets. #justmy2cents
With Android that is not a worry, even if the developer stops active devlopment the app will continue working for years on newer versions of Android.
I'm still able to use app from 2012 without updates on current Android version. So I don't think this is issue at all. If it stops working after 15-20 years then it may actually make sense to upgrade to better thermal camera anyway. Not sure how it is with iOS but this is non-issue with Android.
I recently ran into this issue when I wanted to purchase a wireless audio mixer. The Android app was last updated 6 years ago and isn't compatible to Android 13 any more. 😶
This is likely to be a significant issue for Apple devices, but a hardware issue first. Apple has already abandoned the Lightning connector on their latest iPads and are expected to make the switch to USB-C on the iPhone 15 later this year. I definitely wouldn't buy the iOS version of this camera if it uses a Lightning connector, especially if you plan to upgrade your iPhone within the life of the camera.
@@paulhamacher773 Hm, didn't see that yet. I don't have access to 13 though. Android 13 stops you from installing old .apk?
Does their app steal your personal information?

Delay looks more like 100ms
Seems like a nice tool, but I'd rather have ist standalone :(
1. Apps are terrible in usability, because touchscreens generally are a compromise solution for where nothing else is possible, and they utterly suck compared to classical buttons for example in nearly all usage scenarios
2. smartphones are a horrible, garbage 'throw away' technology, optimized for being thrown aways as soon as possible, because that's how vendors like it, for making more credits
3. once the app is outdated, which especially for more affordable devices, but also for most expensive devices, will happen way sooner than you like it, there will be growing incompatibilities with newer smartphones, until it'S not useable anymore, besides the original hardware still would be working fine
I agree with all of the mentioned points but I still think there are different people that have different needs so a smartphone camera might be the best option for some people while for others a standalone unit would be best.
I also feel like generally speaking these electronic devices that sell for affordable prices are becoming outdated just from a technological point of view sooner than breaking down or loosing compatibility so in real world usage, I'm not too concerned with the app no longer being supported on a particular device or OR because I will likely be switching to a newer model sooner than that happens.
@@voltlog right, of course there are people who actually prefer this for a reason.
What's bothering me is, that I am pretty sure, that many people prefer this just because they are 'used to' and don't know better and subsequently don't knwo about the huge advantages an not-smartphone dependent device can have. Which I fear, will in the long inevitably lead to the extinction of alternatives. So I often try to head up communities to stay open for technologies that don't depend on a smartphone :)
@@elmariachi5133 While I agree with you, I actually sought out all smartphone accessories for my work needs.
I can fit everything in my pocket now. With separate devices, they all had their own screen, buttons, handle, cords, cases, etc. I needed a whole toolbox to bring what now fits in my pocket.
I am not looking forward to that day when an update is pushed that breaks everything...but for now it's awesome to have everything so tiny.
"Affordable"
Yes
Yeah, I spent $450 on a FLIR camera that never worked right and then completely died after only a couple uses. The company then changed names and never stood behind their faulty product with a recall...as many people reported the same issue.
Then I purchased another "cheap" thermal camera that had the resolution of a potato and was useless.
I got the InfiRay P2 (not pro) for just over $200 on Amazon a few weeks ago and so far it's been both the cheapest thermal camera I've owned and the best, smallest, and just works every time I plug it in.
I consider it very, very affordable for what you get.
It's not in the ‘novelty item you can buy for giggles’ price range, but as a tool it seems to be pretty good value for money to me?
@@fredmerizen Quite literally the best there is in the price range...for hardly any money. Under $300 is cheap. I don't mean to sound insensitive if that's a lot of money for someone...but if they are looking at thermal csmeras, let's assume they aren't broke...and a few hundred bucks is cheaper than a few tank fulls if gas these days.
If you owned a lot of thermal cameras like me, you know the framerate is garbage and they only update a few times per second. Companies always blamed it on regulatuons blah blah...well this one is very smooth and better than the $2500 ones I use at work.
All for a few hundred dollars is amazing.
