Hi,
There is a promotion until the 31 of March for FLIR products.

Would it be enough just to fill the online form, or do you need to mail them the actual
proof of purchase?
Thanks.
Hoping someone may have a little more information on what appears to be a recall of sorts for the e series cameras. I placed an order the other day for a flir e4. I called midstate instruments today to check the status and was I informed they had to send all of the e4, e5, and e6 cameras back to the manufacturer. Cited problems with the devices. They had to be retrofitted, whatever that means. Seemed like a recent development so I thought someone here might know what exactly the issue was. And if it might be related to the hackability of the current units. Hoping not. Great blog here, thanks in advance.
I just ordered one from Granger about 4 hours ago and was promised next day delivery. ( Thanks Nazar404 )

@pomonabill221,
It was worse than that....the chisel was used to straighten the top of the actual camera shell, not the viewfinder I can only imagine the shock waves that must have passed through the camera electronics and optical block. I am amazed that it survived the initial 'accident' and then the abuse of the person who took a 1" cold chisel to its case. He/She must have partially dismantled the camera to gain access so they were pretty brave or desperate to attempt such a 'repair' rather than returning the camera to FLIR.
The E4 is very nicely built and it is specified to survive a 2m drop which is impressive. I have no complaints about the units ruggedness for operation in a 'normal' low risk working enviroment. The metal cased cameras are for more extreme conditions, but the penalty for such is greater weight. The E4 sits in the hand so well and is so easy to use that it is now my first TIC deployed in a test and I only grab one of the PM series if 60fps or more accuracy is needed.
Aurora, Daves & Wilheldp Thank you.
I've read the terms but I am asking because they also have the online form.
If you have to send the document by mail, why include an online form as well;...
I am going the for the Laser Meter as well. Nice to know that it works properly!
It looks like someone has seen a business opportunity in FLIR Ex series tripod mounts. See attached picture.
It was advertised on eb*y as "Flir E4 E5 E6 E8 Thermal imaging camera tripod adapter"
Looks like it uses clamp screws on the rubber handle
I prefer the Georges80 design
Sorry for small size....it was in Google's cache for eb*y.
Flir Tools is a great software, but the panorama function is extremely bad if you have more then 4 images (multi row, correction of distortion, cross-fade)
try the free 30 day trial Tools+ (a part from Flir Tools)
here is a sample (stitched from 8 images , see my tutorial https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-teardown/msg348715/#msg348715 )
Flir Tools+ (original size)
see the ghosts images at second columns head and the balustrade
and the same images resized and converted with the free Panorama Software MS ICE
this is a relative good result for FlirTools+ (I shoot the images with tripod)
If you have rotated images like OrBy's engine bay then FlirTools+
Flir want sell cameras with large sensors and not software solutions.
The imprint of the color scale and a logo in an original E4 image with 80x60 sensor pixels is cheating
Hello my friends,
I did hack couple of weeks ago and everything was OK. I also add menu 2 update with no problem..
But right now - no possible connect to my FLIR E4.
If I try connect and update fif file - Flirinstall will show Timeout connection
If I want use FTP - no chance to connect
Do you know - what could be wrong?? Last time everything was very easy...
