1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:09,000
do I make you hot well there's only one way to find

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:12,880
out for sure a thermal camera meet the

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
one from Fleer an affordable thermal

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:21,369
camera module that Clips to the bottom of your

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:31,960
smartphone Mass drop is currently featuring The MSI GTX 1080 armor 8G

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,600
learn more at the link in the video description let's start with one of my

7
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:42,200
biggest complaints about the Fleer 1 in spite of the name there are actually two

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:46,239
of them I mean I understand the reason one is for Apple devices with a

9
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:51,120
lightning connector and the other is for Android devices with a micr USB

10
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:55,120
connector but if there was a way to equip the Fleer 2 or whatever a

11
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:59,440
successor ended up being called with swappable interfaces without

12
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:02,359
compromising the admittedly very strong connectors

13
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:07,759
I think that would go a long way towards improving the versatility and future

14
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,840
proofness of these devices an important

15
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:14,479
consideration when you factor in that even an affordable mobile accessory

16
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:20,119
version of fle technology is going to run you $250

17
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:23,960
us let's take a closer look then at the

18
00:01:20,119 --> 00:01:26,280
one both versions look almost the same

19
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:31,119
and share the same internals and same basic mode of operation so we'll be

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:36,640
mostly treating them as one for the rest of the video here the outer shell is

21
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,439
plastic but fairly confidence inspiring

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:42,759
it's not rated for water or dust resistance but it seems like it could

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,719
survive a drop or two on the right is a status LED equipped power button so you

24
00:01:44,759 --> 00:01:51,119
can tell when it's booting up versus fully powered on and ready to engage

25
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:55,840
with the phone app on the left is a battery charge indicator and a micro USB

26
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:01,840
charging port so yes that means the Fleer 1 uses a 350 Mah internal battery

27
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,960
in does not charge off of the device it's attached to convenient in some ways

28
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:11,360
but kind of a drag in others and finally at the front are the twin cameras the

29
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,280
stars of the show I did say twin but I should probably clarify that I mean

30
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:21,080
fraternal twins in this case because they are absolutely nothing alike one of

31
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:26,720
them is for capturing infrared light a thermal camera and the other is for

32
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:29,920
capturing visible light a well camera

33
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,560
camera the thermal camera uses fleer's

34
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:39,239
leptin an astonishingly small and lowcost longwave infrared sensor to

35
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:43,360
generate 80x 60 pixel thermal images

36
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:47,560
that are accurate to within. 1° C from a

37
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,480
range ofus 20 all the way up to 120°

38
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:59,200
that's -4 to 248 Fahrenheit for our American viewers the visible camera is

39
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,360
less impressive it's a 640x 480 yeah VGA

40
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,440
air and that's pretty much all we know about

41
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:11,720
it other than the reason that the Fleer one even has one without getting too

42
00:03:08,799 --> 00:03:19,400
deep into this resolution is a word that gets frequently misused it means how

43
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:23,519
much detail can be resolved from an

44
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:26,760
image so a film picture also has a

45
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:29,280
resolution even if you can't count the

46
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:34,959
pixels so let's fire up the app and just take a picture here so the visible

47
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,799
camera is actually where it seems like

48
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:44,400
the advertised effective resolution of 160x 120 comes from thanks to a

49
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:46,959
technique called MSX blending that in a

50
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:52,799
nutshell captures a visible light picture then strips out everything but

51
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,400
textures and edges and overlays the thermal image with the ability to peek

52
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:02,000
behind it at the original normal capture as needed for easy diagnosis of whatever

53
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,439
it is that you're looking at an HVAC system a problematic circuit or that

54
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:12,879
freaking cat that's trying to avoid being taken to the vet Fleer claims this

55
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:16,759
technique allows the image to have five times the detail a figure that they may

56
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:21,639
have pulled out of their butts for all I can tell but whether it's four or five

57
00:04:18,919 --> 00:04:26,040
or six times it clearly works pretty darn well because the thermal image

58
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:31,280
alone is much more difficult to read especially for a lay person like me and

59
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:36,639
on top of still image capture it actually supports video Panorama and

60
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:41,600
even timelapse capture which is actually a stroke of Genius for diagnosing

61
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:46,440
problems that might develop slowly or be related to the time of

62
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,360
day which is cool lus but uh why should

63
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:53,520
I care what are these things even for and why the hell do you need one well

64
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,639
for the first one I don't know about you but I care because they're just pretty

65
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:01,800
freaking cool as for practical uses there are actually many thermal imagers

66
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:06,440
like so many things were actually developed for military use allowing

67
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Personnel to detect heat signatures engine exhaust operating machinery and

68
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:15,160
even people during the Korean War but today their applications range from

69
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,240
medical use ever seen those cameras and arrivals at the international airport

70
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:22,400
they're checking to see if you have a fever and you're going to spread disease

71
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:27,440
to building optimization to check the effectiveness of insulation to law

72
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:32,039
enforcement night vision goggles anyone to storm tracking to Home Inspection to

73
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:36,680
you're watching you name it and what we've been enjoying is the way that

74
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:41,199
suddenly a thermal camera allows us to validate manufacturer claims like

75
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,880
oneplus's assertion that their quick charging technique keeps the phone

76
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:50,919
running cooler than competing qualcom Quick Charge 3.0 and razors claim that

77
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:54,479
the new blade 14 2016 Edition runs much

78
00:05:50,919 --> 00:05:57,199
cooler than last year's model neat right

79
00:05:54,479 --> 00:06:02,280
yeah I guess lonus but uh does this make the existence of higher end ones like

80
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,919
the Fleer E60 which is like a $7,000

81
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:08,400
camera that you were showing off on Instagram a little while ago uh

82
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:13,919
Superfluous great question but no I don't think so the app is surprisingly

83
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:19,400
stable and functional but higher end models have features that are a must for

84
00:06:16,599 --> 00:06:24,000
industrial use swappable batteries SD recording rugged housing and the ability

85
00:06:21,599 --> 00:06:29,759
to operate without a phone attached to name a few and the fler one is not

86
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:34,199
perfect we ran into compatibility issues for example with the iPhone SE and on

87
00:06:32,039 --> 00:06:40,319
the Android side of things the onward March towards USB type-c standardization

88
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:45,840
reveals the problem with that future proofness issue that I alluded to before

89
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:48,880
we actually tried using uh type c to

90
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:50,880
microe adapter with the HTC 10 but we

91
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:58,520
didn't have any luck getting it to work though your mileage may vary bottom line

92
00:06:54,599 --> 00:07:01,440
though it's not perfect and hopefully

93
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:06,160
resolution durab and compatibility rise as cost continues to lower but if you

94
00:07:04,039 --> 00:07:09,879
need an affordable thermal camera for some reason then the Fleer one which

95
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,919
Fleer is leaving with us to enrich our future reviews by the way which is

96
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:17,680
awesome will likely be as welcome in addition to your diagnostic Arsenal as

97
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:23,400
it is to ours speaking of being a welcome

98
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:25,800
addition to Your Arsenal tunnel bear and

99
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:32,000
my notes say something about summer and boarding planes and cars and trains does

100
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,639
anyone board a car anyway the point is

101
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:39,360
that tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately

102
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:44,000
and enjoy a more open internet with tunnel bear turned on a couple of things

103
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:49,720
happen number one is your connection is secured with AES 256bit encryption and

104
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:54,360
two your online activity is kept private from your internet provider and

105
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:00,680
advertisers who are looking to harvest your data and sell you more like I don't

106
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:02,199
know aluminum spoon or whatever some

107
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:06,800
stupid thing that you've probably seen a banner for recently tunnel bear has a

108
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:11,800
top rated privacy policy and does not log your activity and the best part is

109
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:16,680
you can try it for absolutely free it's like those food samples in the grocery

110
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:18,560
store it's like wow I can have 500

111
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:23,240
megabytes of these food samples no credit card required then if you decide

112
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:28,639
you want an unlimited plan they start at just a few bucks a month and you can
