New Hikmicro PocketE Review - Ultra Detailed Thermal Camera!

[@pauldonovan2463]

I’ve had my Pocket E for less than a week and I am super happy with it.

[@SmitHVAC.]

@@pauldonovan2463 Love mine!

[@TheDaztheraz]

Interesting to see a comparison between this and the pocket 2

[@Zyzzyx42]

Aw man... I really want a thermal cam for DIY use and general fun curiosity, and this is _really_ cool, but darn if a bit pricey.

[@SmitHVAC.]

This one is a little pricey, the hikmicro eco is a great value and a great camera

[@uncontrollabledogs3791]

Way nice imager! The photo overlay is a def game changer for sure. Much better than my klein tool imager😩

[@SmitHVAC.]

Oh yea it's awesome! Klein needs to step up, lately their tools feel like they're getting cheaper and cheaper

Hi, could you please post some thermal photos and a thermal video recording from this camera somewhere? I would like to see how the different color palettes look and how the video looks. How does it deal with more distant objects.

[@adamcraven4551]

In my opinion the second camera image superimposed onto the thermal image for the PocketE makes this just such a better camera than the Eco.Not done this for real yet, just researching my Thermal camera. Would you agree that if you exclude the second camera feature it is pretty much a tie, but the additional enhancement of the second camera makes the PocketE a clear winner?

[@SmitHVAC.]

Yes without that feature it's fairly close to the eco. It does have a couple other features though, like video recording and WiFi connectivity

Hey! thanks for making a video on this I can't seem to find much info on the pocketE. My only concern with these touchscreens is that they sometimes lag or totally freeze, have you had any issues with that or any other issues in general? I'm currently deciding between this or the Vevor SC240n

[@SmitHVAC.]

No I've had no issues, it's been a great camera. I'd go with this over the vevor!

[@yoitsNima]

@@SmitHVAC. Thanks! Looks like its $279 right now on Amazon Canada, Do you remember what the original launch price was?

[@SmitHVAC.]

@@yoitsNima it was around $400

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

Cool camera. Not too outrageously priced as compared to other thermals either.

[@SmitHVAC.]

I like it, big fan of the hikmicros. I have another video coming comparing 3 budget cameras

[@Folk1072]

I have a question. Is it better quality than hikmicro eco v? Thanks!

[@SmitHVAC.]

Build quality is the same, Image quality is pretty much the same but the pocketE has some extra features

[@VoiD1x]

Should I get this or the pocket2? Can’t really afford the pocket2 tho haha

[@SmitHVAC.]

PocketE is a great camera!

[@Captain_Kdawg]

Ohh dang I tried to buy it through your line it was saying 349.00 I was happy… then I realized that was canadan dang that sucks. It’s 599 dollars us….

[@SmitHVAC.]

[@pauldonovan2463]

[@pauldonovan2463]
