Picked up a thermal

[Smiley]

Not really an optic I guess, but picked up this neat thermal imager. Works pretty good around the house, but I wonder if I should try and sell and get a monocular or night vision. May be better to just keep as it seems like a pretty useful tool.

Depends on what you want to use it for…..comes in real handy when checking electrical terminals for loose connections…..

That they do. I did notice that every GFCI in the house glows pretty bright, as well as the GFCI breaker in my panel.

Never mind it would appear from the picture there not above 75 degrees.

Not hot to the touch, but any GFCI device uses power all the time. It’s not much, but this thing seems super sensitive. I haven’t quite figured out how to set everything up in it, but there are a tone of settings and calibrations.

It’s pretty cool what’s you figure it out.

Yeah, I can see every missed or halfassed piece of insulation is in the house.

That device that you have looks like a device used in building enclosure assessments. What do you intend to use it with most?

Checking for leaks, electrical issues, poor insulation, automotive diagnostics, seeing animals in the yard, taking pictures of the dogs and kids, random stuff…
