This P2pro is much better than so many other cell phone thermal imaging cameras on the market. But it is too low-profile. There are not many videos of relevant reviews that can be found online. Thank you for making such a great video!
It's amazing how small it is and the fact it has a better resolution along with the macro lens what's not to like, maybe in time they will sort out the software so it's less buggy. I don't think you mentioned it but is there an iPhone version or maybe an adaptor to make it fit. Thanks David.
Really good and informative review on the P2 Pro mate. I’m just dipping into thermal and P2 Pro impressed me a lot .I can see this being the one I go for, so thanks for the review.
Okay, so here's some info for everyone. There are 3 types of thermal imaging available built in phones, in general. 1.: FLIR Lepton 2.5 80 x 60 resolution 8-9Hz framerate 2.: FLIR Lepton 3.5 160 x 120 resolution 8-9Hz framerate 3.: Infiray 256 x 192 resolution 25Hz framerate (advertised) Phones with 1: Blackview BV6600 Pro; BL8800 Pro; BV9800 Pro; BV9900 Pro; Ulefone Armor 9; Armor 11T Phones with 2: Ulefone Power Armor 18T; CAT S62 Pro Phones with 3: Doogee S98 Pro; AGM Glory G1S; AGM Glory Pro; InfiRay PX1 (rare and expensive) If you find another one, just comment below.
I had a Flir One which died (usual charging problem that wasn't fixed by new battery). I have the Seek compact pro which has specs of the Lepton 3.5. Looking around today, there are a couple of devices with the same specs as teh Infiray P2 Pro including the Topdon TC001. I'm looking for the cheapest one to play around with
@@choboutube If your sauce is add-on type thermal imaging, sure, these sound okay. I'd add to this list a Victor VC328 (there's A and B version, choose the B), it has Infiray P2 Pro specs. Way cheaper than the Topdon.
Good job sir. I want to get something like this but I feel they still kinda suck. I'm keeping a eye out for something a little better that won't brake the bank
I remember when the first 'affordable' Flir cameras came out. They were orders of magnitude more expensive than what we have now and with a lot, lot less resolution. I think in a few years this will be as common on smartphones as a wide angle lens.
Hey, I did got the first version of the Flir One... The battery is is big problem after few years, but not only cause besides the low resolution, the last software updates from flir reduced the quality and deleted some setting options (certainly to push people to buy the newer version)... So I'd rather not give my money to Flir anymore, especially with considering they're always the most expensive ones
@@DavidMcLuckie I got my P2Pro a few Weeks ago. Great, affordable and GOOD Thermal imgaing camera with 24Hz and a not so crappy resolution. I also Like the small Form factor of it a lot. Also, No Accu inside, so one thing less to break. The "Hot things overflow" is midigated with the High Range mode the App offers. Then the "QR Code" Style Stuff goes away. If they're gonna be as common as the wide angle? Probably not. But they get cheaper and better :)
Everything still feels like 30% too expensive for me. No matter the resolution and capabilities I always find price being around 30% too much compared to what I am comfortable with spending.
Like your comparison video. The image quality of P2 Pro is quite good for me for work and the price is affordable as well. I can connect it directly to the smartphone for plug-and-play accurate temperature measurement. Very convenient.
Since the P2Pro and S98Pro are using the same Infiray sensor I think the P2Pro is too expensive compared to the S98Pro. The difference is only €100 and for that extra money you're getting a great rugged phone and also a night vision camera. If the P2Pro drops to something like €150 I'll buy it.
On the Infiray website for the P2 Pro, they says theres two image modes, a PiP and notably something call “Fusion mode,” that looks like an equivalent image of the Flir MSX. Is there anything on the app that resembles this “Fusion mode”?
The camera offers a "high range" mode to use on hotter surfaces. What they change? I don't know. Maybe add a small filter in front of the sensor or using less pixels. But that's on most or nearly any use case not a issue.
Hi there thanks for the great reviews I just noticed that the phone volume Button is so loose so if I pick up and down little movement the volume button is wobble and makes noise🙄 is it normal??
Hi, do you suggest the Macro one (P2 Pro +) or not macro. Do you think It can be used also stand alone for Drone Paiload use, maybe I need a circuit for Transmit the videos/Images on a separate receiver
Shame my iPhone isn’t compatible, looking to get a stand alone for looking at circuit boards. Or could this work with a pc? When your phone was ringing I was looking for my phone 😂 crank ringtone is unique 😂
Doesnt work with my Xiaomi, it should, but dies not. Error Type: connect the device and activate the OTG. Would like it would work. Xiaomi in Standard OTG is on. Android 10.
IMHO .... longer usb male on a plug in thingy in attempt to fit with a cover on...... creates instability when its plugged in the device and NOT sitting flush to the device.. or its cover...... and that causes instability which causes damage to one of the plugs be it female on device or male side of thingy. AKA lower life span of thingy and the device. Since how thick a cover is.... is a crap shoot...... the manufacture IMHO really has no way to know if their thingy's extended male... will end up flush to cover...... or not.... Thus, It creates an unknown that can cause them warranty issues. Or a complication in design such as the one you were comparing with that had the adjustable height male. Thus manufacture ends up being wiser to make the plug end sit flush to a device "when it has no cover on".... and provide a cable for when using the device that does not have a cover... Suggest if user will be using the thingy a lot..... they can modify their cover so the thingy will sit flush. Just IMHO of course.

Thanks David.
I have a feeling that most of the problems are software related. No iPhone version at the moment.
the conparison is so helpful, it seems that p2 is more brighter to aim the hot targets.
Really good and informative review on the P2 Pro mate. I’m just dipping into thermal and P2 Pro impressed me a lot .I can see this being the one I go for, so thanks for the review.
This camera and your video are really good. Keep up your excellent content
Okay, so here's some info for everyone.

Thank you for consolidating them for me
@@Babihrse Anytime!
Very interesting comparison video, after watching it I think I prefer the P2 Pro

This seems to be a pretty good system.for some repairmen this would be a salvation level thing with price stinging much less
I bet you could use the macro lens taped onto one of the other ones and it would work
Considering the price! p2pro is very good tech! Already in my shopping bag!
Like your comparison video. The image quality of P2 Pro is quite good for me for work and the price is affordable as well. I can connect it directly to the smartphone for plug-and-play accurate temperature measurement. Very convenient.
Thanks for your review video! It seems that p2 pro is better than flir one.
That's my ringtone for my cell phone!
🤣🤣🤣

Crank ringtone. It's from the movie Crank.

Great review. Got to get me one of those.
And you got the same ringtone as me 😮 From "Crank" with mr.Statham if I remember correctly
You are the 2nd person ever to correctly identify my ringtone, from what could easily be my favourite film.
would assume most the Flir size is in battery
Shame, since I hear it's horrible
On the Infiray website for the P2 Pro, they says theres two image modes, a PiP and notably something call “Fusion mode,” that looks like an equivalent image of the Flir MSX. Is there anything on the app that resembles this “Fusion mode”?
I'll have to check that as it didn't originally.
What are differencies from Infiray P2 Pro plus and the TOPDON TC001 camera
This is even smaller than Flir's battery unit....and one third the price. Just saying... Good job Infiray.
So what if one gets a Flir used for 250 euros? Would one still prefer the cheaper P2 Pro?
That weird "texture" that P2 does on too hot things looks like a bad QR code, I don't know why it does that, but it is quite distracting... :S
The camera offers a "high range" mode to use on hotter surfaces. What they change? I don't know. Maybe add a small filter in front of the sensor or using less pixels. But that's on most or nearly any use case not a issue.
Hi there thanks for the great reviews I just noticed that the phone volume

Funnny how the doogee S98 pro does better cleaner imagery than the P2 PRO!!! ...
Hi, do you suggest the Macro one (P2 Pro +) or not macro. Do you think It can be used also stand alone for Drone Paiload use, maybe I need a circuit for Transmit the videos/Images on a separate receiver
What's the thermal sensitivity please? The old FLIRs were 50mK or 70mk. I can only see that these are accurate to plus minus 2C.
From the specs I can find - ≤50mK@25℃
Shame my iPhone isn’t compatible, looking to get a stand alone for looking at circuit boards. Or could this work with a pc? When your phone was ringing I was looking for my phone 😂 crank ringtone is unique 😂
Mike's electric stuff tested it on a PC, and it outputs like a webcam, but only in grayscale unless you get some software to work with it
Doesnt work with my Xiaomi, it should, but dies not.

Xiaomi in Standard OTG is on.

IMHO .... longer usb male on a plug in thingy in attempt to fit with a cover on...... creates instability when its plugged in the device and NOT sitting flush to the device.. or its cover...... and that causes instability which causes damage to one of the plugs be it female on device or male side of thingy.

Just IMHO of course.
Yes! And you can't plug them to rugged phones due to the rubber "casing".
Hi would like you to test ulefone armor 18t
That has a better FLIR camera than most phones, a Lepton 3.5. Same as the FLIR One Pro in this comparison.
