- Is the FLIR One Gen 3 good enough for home inspections?
- For finding insulation gaps, window drafts, overheating outlets and water leaks, yes. For detailed electrical or mechanical diagnostics, its 80x60 sensor is too coarse.
- How does it compare with the FLIR One Pro?
- The Pro has a higher-resolution thermal sensor and a wider temperature range. The Gen 3 is smaller and simpler, aimed at casual and entry-level users.
- Does it work with my phone?
- It comes in USB-C and Lightning versions, so check which port your phone uses before buying. It does not work with phones that lack the matching connector.
- Can it record video?
- Yes. It records MP4 video on Android and MOV on iOS, saved through the FLIR One app.
- What is MSX?
- MSX blends edge detail from the visible-light camera into the thermal image, so wires, studs and outlines are easier to see.
- Does it need its own battery?
- It draws power from the phone, so long sessions drain the handset. Carry a power bank for extended use.
