| Infiray Flip PH35-Best '640' bang-for-the-buck since Therm-App Pro discontined? |
| << < (4/5) > >> |
| encryptededdy:
Can you get the full 640x480 (or 512) resolution out of this? All the videos I see online are cropped to 16:9 (so 640x360). Also, can you view the full 640x512 image on the screen? Or is it cropped to the 16:9 display aspect ratio? |

I tried to pick one up from B and H photo Video a month ago- they had listed the Plus variant still in stock- I just got told the order is cancelled , because the manufacturer may be out of stock? So, Did the last 640X 480 high-hertz Thermal Camera that's not a scope- just end it's run? This is sad if so- as it took a long while for Infiray to get going after Opgal did in 2014- alas, it might be a decade or more before price competitive non-thermal scope form factor thermals with midgrade specs become available. FLIR systems sure is not competitive capability wise at the Infiray Price points. |

maybe these things popping up on ebay use the same sensor https://www.ebay.com/itm/176460951341 im not too sure about ordering something this expensive from china, but if they had a EU stock for 10..20% more, i would have bought one allready. |

So, I just took the plunge on this and snagged one form Aliexpress, since they're now nearly gone completely, as mentioned before- And have the device- I have the PH35+, which has a near-infrared Laser Rangefinder The immediate cons- it's all in chinese, in the device menus and settings. (though a lot of Icons as well which are obvious) -I asked Infiray- and apparently while English prototype manuals are floating around (I got one of these from B and H photo video before they canceled my order due to not having any cameras) - All Flips are in Chinese only. Good thing it's easy enough to 100% figure out all the controls anyway................... Did not expect this Wish they would make a Firmware update changing it to English Aside from that- so far so good. Frame Rate is very fast Am comparing it to my Therm App Pro and HZ- (mainly the Pro)- and while it's not as customizable (since i have all 3 of the apps made for the Therm app serie,s which offer a lot of options)- The Infiray Flip seems to have some switches that make it easier to see in trickier conditions- looking forward to using those at some point in adverse conditions to see how it affects the image Aside from that,i 'ts a oversized, thermal camcorder lol- but it does fell well built Theses are my initial impressions Solid, but be warned, none were made with English in the menus (though the outside markings on the device are all English) .... I also look forward to the far future when another ultra cheap device of this level of specs- that isn't a scope, but some other form factor, comes out |

Something else I wanted to mention- turns out the Infiray FLIP does not record Audio- when taking video ....Little surprised at that , and wanted to let others know who might get it. -So in that regard my Therm App Pro is better- but of course the Therm App pro has a phone with a mic on it... It really seems like it's hard to get a (non-thermal scope form factor)Mid grade thermal for a competitive price with good capability and no missing features/gotchas, today- unlike the past decade sadly.... I do wish those who'd gotten one of these would have piped up, so we'd know about the chinese language / no audio bits though. It's solid and clearly more geared towards outdoor stuff, so i'm really surprised people who use thermal scopes/do outdoor things haven't acquired one and maaybe chimed in here(since this is the only place on the web that talks about it) |
