Hi all,
I'm going to be traveling to Baltimore for business tomorrow (Thursday, Feb 8). They have a generation 2 Flir One thermal imaging attachment for sale (for Android phones) for around $100. This is an obsolete model, but it actually has a better sensor (4x the thermal resolution) than the consumer version of generation 3 model (which retails for $199). It has the same sensor as the Generation 3 pro model (sold for $399). As far as I can tell, they have three in stock, in-store only. I have no idea if any will be left when I stop by tomorrow. If anybody is interested in one, please shoot me a message.
The downsides to the generation 2 model are its relatively small rechargeable battery, and the fact that it is somewhat delicate (stops working after a few drops, seemingly due to a poor internal connection with the battery). Also, note that it's useless without a working battery. Lithium polymer batteries decay by about 20% per year. But it's really cheap. The sensor itself cost twice as much if bought individually.
Here is a thermal video of a CK, taken on a somewhat similar type of camera:
Here's a video taken from a FLIR one. Unlike the video of the monitor top, it has two lenses (one infrared, one visible) and stitches the image together to emphasize physical details:
