Nice camera for Pros
I'll keep my review short and sweet as I was searching for a thermal camera and didn't exactly know what I wanted this was just one that I tried.The picture was fantastic especially for one that attaches to your phone. I think I've tried all of the phone thermal cameras there are in this price range and this actually had the most vibrant picture. Personally though I just did not like the software.

A slick tool
This thing is small--even with the carrying case, it will fit on my palm. It allows a clear picture of the temperature variations in the field of view, which is amazingly useful under a number of circumstances. Medically, it would let you get a clear visualization of differences in temperature--hotspots or coldspots--very clearly. It connects via the USB-C on my cell phone; the application downloaded to my Android based phone quickly and does what I need. Looking forward to cooler weather to check my home for heat leaks, though I will primarily use it medically.

Saved Us a Fortune Come Winter
You'd be amazed at how much you miss when it comes to weather-proofing your home. You literally think that you ever possible spot covered. Until you put this Mini 2 thermal camera to work. It exposes what you least expected, which is a variety of air leaks and openings throughout your home. Then it's just a matter of properly sealing everything. So not only do you probably make your money back from the investment on one of these from what you'll save on heating and cooling bills, it's just an awesome little gadget in general. Fun to be able to look around the room and see things just like the Predator would. Hey, us grown-up guys still love our toys. And you'll love it too, so add this one to your shopping cart today.

Portable thermal camera
Let me first start off by saying that I have zero experience with any thermal camera. This is my first one which I ordered as an experimental tool since I am a landlord and occasionally inspect air-conditioning units and heating units.My impression of this portable thermal camera is that it seems to work as advertised. I was able to detect heat signatures from our cats, our bodies, vents, and other household items that generate heat. It was kind of neat to see the world with heat signatures. It is especially fun doing it using my phone.The device easily connected to my phone through the USB-C connection. I able to take heat signature photos with my phone.I think my biggest complaint is the cost. I think it is very expensive and overpriced unless you really have a practical use for it. I honestly don't believe it should be priced the way it is. A total strike in my opinion. It should be less than $150.This is not a casual purchase. I am sure this thermal camera will eventually come in handy but at the moment, it is an expensive gadget that is laying around.

Klein aber fein
Es kam in einen praktischen Box, gut geschützt vor jeglicher beschädigungen.Die Funktionen sind super einfach und übersichtlich gestaltet.Mit dem Spiralkabel -Verlängerung ist man sehr flexibel und kommt man auch an Stellen hin, wo mit dem Handy mit aufgestecktem Kamera einfach nicht schaffen könnte.Habe meine Entscheidung nicht bereut es zu kaufen.

Impressive Thermal Camera - I recommend it!
I've been blown away with this, so much so I'm leaving a review!Having looked into getting a thermal imaging camera for a while to help balance radiators and in-turn pay for this gadget's purchase vs. paying a plumber, I've also found this camera has helped improved the insulation/air tightness around the house and other handy uses. I recommend this camera especially if it's at a reduced price.I was tempted by the HikMicro Mini2 as, at the time of purchase, this was the least expensive option compared to other USB-C alternatives whilst also being smaller in size and offering comparable pixel count/app functionality. I wasn't keen on the bulkiness of the hand-held cameras as they need yet more batteries and other USB-C cameras are larger.This came with a short USB-C extender (I assume allowing for phone cases) and a coiled USB-C extender cable which would allow the camera to be held away from the phone or mounted to the phone/case (maybe with velcro). The camera is boxed in a small foam lined zip-shell case that easily fits in the pocket to protect the camera.The camera plugs into the phone and runs on the HIKMicro Viewer app (I'm using it with a Samsung A71 on Android). I've had no issues with the app or camera in 10+hrs use, which has proven to be very accurate and sensitive to changes in temperature. It's good on battery usage, but if you were to use this all day you would need to think about charging your phone or unplugging the camera when not in use. I think I'd get at least 3hrs solid use before the phone needs charging but haven't really tested and have an aging phone battery.The camera itself has a decent quality image that picks up heat very accurately (to within tenths of a degree) even when momentarily touching a surface. I've even found it's useful for tracing hot and cold pipes buried in the floor/wall (where heat can transfer to the surface) and electrical cables buried in the wall when using a hairdryer. It's like X-ray vision!The app displays the maximum, minimum and temperature in the centre of the image, which appear as crosshairs moving around the screen as you move the camera or the temperature moves, and these can be turned off individually in the settings. The emissivity and the viewing distance are adjusted manually as materials have different emissivity and distance has a small bearing on temperature reading. This is good for accuracy. These settings are changed manually - see cons below. There are multiple display options to see the image displayed in different colours or in black and white/greyscale.The app allows for thermal photos and videos (up to 60 seconds) and saves them to the app where they can be saved to the phone if needed. I've attached two examples, one of a heated car seat and the other a radiator after turning the heating on and seeing the hot water flowing through. There is an option to take thermal images with an optical image inset and this is good where you might be imaging a thermally undefined surface or want to show where the image was taken.The only cons I can share are improvements for HIKMicro to make in the app:1. The emissivity has to be adjusted manually (if you need to) so you need to know a value to set. This is easy to search for online with the phone in hand, but it would be good if the app had a basic list of materials/values to search from.2. The viewing distance is adjusted in the same way as the emissivity and both are changed with small '+' and '-' buttons where you need to tap the setting and then tap lots to adjust.It would be great if the app had a scroll wheel/slide bar to adjust the values quickly from the viewer without having to tap the setting first. This is the only negative I can think of, and certainly shouldn't put you off getting this camera as it's been a great investment and paid for itself in the first week. I've now got family and friends lining up wanting their radiators and walls imaging. Thanks HIKMicro!

Termocamera da taschino, ottima
Se l'app è installato, si attiva non appena viene inserita la termocamera nella presa usb. Buona definizione, facie da usare e immagini condivisibili su varie piattaforme. Termocamera tascabile, davvero piccola e pratica. Consigliata.

直感的につかえる。
正直仕事で使うわけでもなく、目的があったわけでもないが面白そうで昔からちょっと憧れのあったサーモカメラ。コンパクトとスマホから電源を取るので劣化が怖いバッテリーもないので安心。アプリの動作も軽快で良いね。写真はちょっと走った車のタイヤとしばらく足を置いて離したカーペット。靴を履いていたら足跡はさすがに見えなかったが靴下履きならしばらく床の足跡が見えました。良かった点として、商品説明ページにはなかったと思うが専用のハードケースが付いていたこと。持ち運びの際端子とか壊れないか不安だったがしっかり保護できるケースががついていて安心して持ち出せる。付属品はほかにカールタイプの延長ケーブルとちょっとスマホから離せるアダプターがついており、説明書は一応にほんごもあった。ただ、説明書読まなくてもなんとなくわかるようにできているので安心して使えました。
