So earlier in the week I picked up the FLIR Scout TK because well I was impulsive and this little thing is pretty darn awesome. Even a couple of years ago something like this would be well over $2k but well anyway it’s pretty affordable now. 😀

It’s slightly larger than my Vortex monocular and it allows me to see heat.  So if there were a lot of smoke or in a place where there was no light (and where my night vision would be useless), I could still see with this thing.  The refresh rate is slow at 9 Hz and the sensor is small but it can help me see hot spots as far away as 100 meters.

There are a whole bunch of different settings, I like the black and white image tha thighlights hot points in orange, that seems to help thing stand out the most. LOL I’ve already gone around my house to see where it’s leaking energy and I will see improve the insulation so I’m not wasting so much energy. 🙂
