One could glue the macro lens in place using a small hinge to be able to flip it open to see the big picture and if you need to go closer, just flip it in place. Remote-controlled toys/planes use nylon hinges that would work quite well for it. On the opposite side of the hinge, you must implement some kind of clip to keep the lens in place, but it should not be that hard. Or, glue 2 strips of thin metal in front of the camera and add magnets the to forward-facing side of the macro lens. Then you can just pop the lens in and out, or combine the two, use a hinge on one side and magnet with a metal strip on the other side.
I would have liked to order these items (thermal camera and the macrolens) from you. But dou to my county added import-tax and the extremely high shipping cost to send over from the states, it was not cost effective. So i bought one closer to home (still waiting for arrival). I won't forget this. And if this works out in future I will repay you with kindness for all that you have tought me/us. You are a big inspiration not only to me but also my kids.
_This lens is phenomenal because I can clearly see the tinned endcaps of the SMD components!_ 👍 _Alex, do you foresee a need to switch between macro and normal field of view?_ _If so, could you ask the manufacturer about a hinged version of the lens, that swings out of the way when it's not needed? Thanks!_
I see a need. If you have a large board like say a console pcb you might want to view the whole board initially to locate the hot area then use the macro lens to locate the specific component. Using the macro lens and the camera held 1” away from the board might take longer than wanted to scan a large pcb. There’s of course a work around to everything so I wouldn’t say it’s strictly necessary to have a hinged or detachable macro lens if you’re only using the thermal camera for PCB work
Shame the macro lens has to be taped in place. I guess holding it in is an option as you demonstrated. Definitely getting one of the cameras at some point.
@$55! What is the magnification factor? For those on a budget - Maybe a Jewellers Pocket Magnifying Glass could do the job - they’re about $4 - different magnification factors - small size - just a thought -
In what video do you show exactly how to record video out of that thermal camera? I see you have the cable attached to a computer and you mentioned having the computer and some kind of software attached, but what are the details? What exact setup do I need to get a 25fps video recording out of that thermal camera? Thanks.
Alex, Glad that you have decided to stock the macro lens for the camera. There are designs for macro lens holders for your FLIR E60 as well. They just need to be printed and a lens ordered from China. Such lenses are very useful for PCB work as you have shown. 👍
I did the exact same one for the Imager we got. mine just clips in place and has a small 12mm CO2 Laser cutter focuser lens with 2" focus in it. Works very well
Some people have modified my 3D printed TPU lens cap design for the UTI260B, UTi690B etc., Thingiverse 4967196, to incorporate a thermal lens for macro capability.
There are two lenses for this camera, one white (demo in this video) and another Z0002 (black), you know?? What are the differences? The are some problems reported with this UniT Thermal Cameras, the battery stops working in a few days and you are left without a $300 device... Anybody with this or other problems? Thanks a lot!
It can be opened, meaning battery coul be replaced unlike the Flir cams. Difference with the black z0002 is it clip on the outer edges of the uti260b so you dont need double side tape
Hi Alex, I live across the pond and have been following your channel for a while, and was wondering if you could give me some advice on a xbox that is stuck in upgrade, is this a software or hardware issue? I have even tried a osu1 update from a flash drive but as it gets to the end it automatically goes to upgrade where it gets stuck again. Any advice appreciated Mark
The Macro lens has 2 small strips of double sided tape on the plastic part, Should be easy to stick and take out. Magnetic is out of the question. No metal parts exist on the front camera

Hindged version of the lens is the Uni-T UT-Z002
I see many UA-camrs make review about this thermal camera, but your videos are the best and details and answers my question 🤝
I bought such a thermal camera thanks to your video.
Wow, really clear and good video. Macro lenses are a life saver for boards. No arm strain now holding far away. Hope to see it used in more videos
Amazing review. This lens is really a big help. Very good. Thank you for the review and the video
Shame the macro lens has to be taped in place. I guess holding it in is an option as you demonstrated. Definitely getting one of the cameras at some point.
Video starts at 03:50.
If you have a 3D printer you can make such a lens holder for any thermal cam. The lens itself can be had for around $10
How many fps? It doesnt look for 25HZ, too slow
Alex, I wonder if you can put a thin strip of velcro around the edge of the lens for removal when needed?
Dear, are there cameras that can detect heat from behind the iron protection that covers some circuits in the phone? Thank you
I assume the normal image overlay (0.5 meter min adjustment) cannot be adjusted sufficiently?
@$55!
What is the magnification factor?

Can I use this macro lense for mileseey 260e ?

Flir E60 have manual focus, so he dont need macro lens, because image is enough sharp.
Could always use a small piece of kapton either side of the lens to hold it in as a temp fix.
I find this lens is only really necessary for 0402 & smaller components the UTI260B has excellent close focal visibility without the lens
I make one for my flir one pro with a CO2 lens and a 3D printed holder for it. Really good for smd components.
I did the exact same one for the Imager we got. mine just clips in place and has a small 12mm CO2 Laser cutter focuser lens with 2" focus in it. Works very well
Can you share your 3d model?
@@justin3594 to long ago. Couple years. Was a thingiverse model.
used mine to fix 3 samsung pmics yesterday. deffo a thumbs up
Wow that macro lens is a game changer really big difference
Some people have modified my 3D printed TPU lens cap design for the UTI260B, UTi690B etc., Thingiverse 4967196, to incorporate a thermal lens for macro capability.
i use a similar lens with a seek compact but man this camera is so much nicer, the seek in comparison has an extremely noisy image
wow how to make a great product even greater :) thx for the review Alex
anyone know where to get the lens on its own? I'd happily buy from NRF but the shipping is more than the item itself!
Very good explanation of macro lens option bro 👍👍👍
Thanks for the lens demo. 😉👍
So I'm I right in thinking that low melt solder doesn't have lead in it.? And is low melt solder the same as low melting point solder? 😁
Do u have used thermal cam with macro lens to sell let me know
Thanks for the reviews.
Love you videos❤️
Wow amazing detail!

Can you send your website
Necessary item on a workbench :))
Nice. That’s frikin awesome

Try to replace your hdd
JUST AMAZING
Works well, it would be better if you could slide it in front of the lens rather than sticking it on.
thank you sir 👍👍👍👍👍
Just amazing
great project
Really nice
that is amazing i hope i can buy it someday ..
great item
Would be better if lens was magnetic, as sticky tape / adhesive is too permanent. So not easy to switch back and forth
The Macro lens has 2 small strips of double sided tape on the plastic part, Should be easy to stick and take out. Magnetic is out of the question. No metal parts exist on the front camera
@@NorthridgeFix perhaps a clip system that goes over the front lens, if magnetic is not possible. Are you planning on stocking the Aixun T3A?
@@hinny2005 We have the Aixun T3B coming in by next week with tip selections and handles as well as power supplies and other tools
@@NorthridgeFix Please do a test on the Aixun T3B...it is an amazing soldering station...Greetings from Sweden
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
nice Vedio ☮️👍
I like it 👍🏾
So you can only see the hotspot via pc software not directly on the device display?
Black hot gets the best details

Unless it gets hot, just tape it to the front.
