I love my Flir One.
It’s great to keep in my pocket & scan a suspected H2O event.
I’ve found roof leaks that were allegedly fixed, hot spots in circuit breaker panels, leaky shower pans.
without spending thousands of dollars for a certificate.
I do not advertise it, just a great backup tool for me.
It seems like anyone who doesn’t spend the $$ for certifications is a fraud, just like President Trump! :mrgreen:
What are people afraid of? Jealous, threatened, lack of revenue?
I don’t think that there is any issue with the way you use it. I’d recommend upgrading as more capable smart coupled imagers become available. If you use it as a tool to better perform a visual inspection (just as you would a moisture meter), you confirm what you think you see with it, you don’t publish images as findings and don’t advertise that you are providing thermographic services, you’re fine. The public has no reason to expect you to provide more than a visual inspection that meets the minimum standard of your SOP and your advertising (be careful what you say in your advertising).
As with all things, the better trained you are and the better quality your equipment the better off you will be.
I have never got a single answer to one question I have asked you, but you keep asking and demanding that I answer more and more rhetorical questions. I will let you teach us. I am done.
Like Chuck said, better training and equipment will serve a person well. As long as you don’t pretend to be a thermographer and you hide your infrared camera from your client, you might do well.
He has a reading comprehension problem and quotes from articles that have no relevance to the question asked.
He “assumes” to much and again that returns to the reading comprehension problem.
He makes a living off of selling training and higher end IR equipment. As a result anything that even comes close to threatening his little world immediately turns him to a defensive posture.
He is unable to create an educated opinion and support that with actual facts. Instead he chooses to parrot others’ opinions as his.
He is unable to conceptualize the use of a tool beyond what the manufacturer intended it to be even when that tool can be used for the other purpose.
When he is incapable of answering a question he immediately puts on his ballerina slippers and attempts to pirouette around it.
John,
What you need to do is come out of your little self serving world and answer questions instead of attempting to act like the expert you are not! The original question to you, post #11, was an actual question to you and not intended as any type of maneuver or attack. Yet you responded as such. Others on this BB have asked questions and you jump in with your “Save The World” attitude and attack them as well when you have no real idea! You have serious delusions of grandeur and need help! :roll:
Well,about resolution of CAT S60,I think we should wait a bit to obtain the offical info from Caterpillar.FLIR only supplies parts to Caterpillar for making smartphones
Apparently John already has all of the detailed specifications through his vast list of inside contacts at FLIR and CAT, and suppliers for higher end imaging equipment he sells his students. Looks like we should not have to wait as he has already performed extensive lab testing and condemned the device as nothing more than a paperweight and unable to perform even the job of a simple spot radiometer! :roll:
There you have it John has access to the full specifications of the new CAT S60 phone whose specifications have not even been released yet. Now all we need is to convince john to share that with us and also why he believes the CAT S60 is useless for anything other than a paperweight! :roll:
