FLIR C5 vs Fluke PTi120 Thermal Camera Comparison

[@goroson]

I have had a c2 and c5 both bricked after very little use. Fantastic tc when working.

It can see liking water pipe under the ceramic floor? (Hot water) for plumbing

paid over 10k for T400 in 2009. I wish I did not spend all that money. it's so expensive I was afraid to take it any where. then found a C2 used for cheap ($200). bought it. and took it to jobs. a dental assistant stole it in a clinic in San Fran. kind of know which one too. but what I am gone do? make a scene? I just charged them for it on the invoice. thanks for the review. I think I am gone buy the C5 and chain it to my belt.

Hello Devin. Can either camera be used for inspecting boiler heat exchangers (of various types) for leaks as a non destructive technique? As manufacturer's do not recommend hydrostatic testing which could void ASME and CSA pressure vessel certification here in Canada. I would like your input on this one. Thanks. It looks to me that FLIR would be a better choice.

Me too I would like to know im a stationary engineer

[@TEquipment]

Yes, these cameras would be excellent for that application. They will clearly show leaks as hotter spots in the thermal image. FLIR is a great choice - check out this video to compare the C5 to its younger brother the C3-X: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmOqdXqirrhonNE You might also want to check out some of our demo videos using the Fotric 348A - this camera is a bit more advanced than the pocket cameras but the demo videos will give you a better idea of the possible applications of thermal imaging: kzbin.info/aero/PLYkzrgUgH3zcSM_5yf3_Gl0mb3UTTYVTZ

Hello guys ! thanks for this comparison. Did you try these equipments on electronic boards ? I'm wondering which might be the best to measure thermal effects on small electronic components?

[@TEquipment]

We have tested the C5 in electronics applications but not the PTi120. Of these two cameras, the FLIR C5 is the better option because it has higher IR resolution. That will be very important for your application so you can clearly see the small components on the board. You can see a demo of the C5 looking at circuit boards in some of our other comparison videos - check them out below.

@@TEquipment thank tou very much for your analysis. The Flir model C5 is definitely the best equipment for my applications.

how far the distance between object and the camera to get the best measurement result? is there any difference between those 2 cameras for the distance?

[@tomasmoreno8865]

Thanks for the video. All the camara are similar, but for your opinion wich one are the best?

[@TEquipment]

Hello! Most of our cameras are similar with varying differences as we recognize what you need depends on how you're using the camera.

does the Flir have any apple app compatibility for generating reports?

[@TEquipment]

Hello! The FLIR C5 works with the cloud-based FLIR Ignite solution. When you connect the camera to a computer it will be identified as an external device (like a phone or digital camera). The C5 will not be detected by FLIR Tools app on the PC; however, the images can be copied manually from the camera into any FLIR software to create reports, such as FLIR Thermal Studio. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us via phone, email, or Live Chat here: www.tequipment.net/service/contact/

Does the C5 add the FLIR logo to all images?

[@TEquipment]

Yes, the C5 will apply a small logo overlay to images in the upper right corner.

If you put your data sheet closer to lens, then it would not be so obvious that you're peeking on a side for data.

[@nielsdaemen]

They both suck compared to what you can get nowadays

Would you care to extrapolate and be useful? Or are you “that” type I would listen. But …
