00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:09.000
do I make you hot well there's only one way to find

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:12.880
out for sure a thermal camera meet the

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:15.000
one from Fleer an affordable thermal

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:21.369
camera module that Clips to the bottom of your

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:31.960
smartphone Mass drop is currently featuring The MSI GTX 1080 armor 8G

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.600
learn more at the link in the video description let's start with one of my

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:42.200
biggest complaints about the Fleer 1 in spite of the name there are actually two

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:46.239
of them I mean I understand the reason one is for Apple devices with a

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:51.120
lightning connector and the other is for Android devices with a micr USB

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:55.120
connector but if there was a way to equip the Fleer 2 or whatever a

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:59.440
successor ended up being called with swappable interfaces without

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:02.359
compromising the admittedly very strong connectors

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:07.759
I think that would go a long way towards improving the versatility and future

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.840
proofness of these devices an important

00:01:07.759 --> 00:01:14.479
consideration when you factor in that even an affordable mobile accessory

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:20.119
version of fle technology is going to run you $250

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:23.960
us let's take a closer look then at the

00:01:20.119 --> 00:01:26.280
one both versions look almost the same

00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:31.119
and share the same internals and same basic mode of operation so we'll be

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:36.640
mostly treating them as one for the rest of the video here the outer shell is

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:38.439
plastic but fairly confidence inspiring

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:42.759
it's not rated for water or dust resistance but it seems like it could

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

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:51.119
can tell when it's booting up versus fully powered on and ready to engage

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:55.840
with the phone app on the left is a battery charge indicator and a micro USB

00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:01.840
charging port so yes that means the Fleer 1 uses a 350 Mah internal battery

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.960
in does not charge off of the device it's attached to convenient in some ways

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

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.280
stars of the show I did say twin but I should probably clarify that I mean

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:21.080
fraternal twins in this case because they are absolutely nothing alike one of

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:26.720
them is for capturing infrared light a thermal camera and the other is for

00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:29.920
capturing visible light a well camera

00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:32.560
camera the thermal camera uses fleer's

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:39.239
leptin an astonishingly small and lowcost longwave infrared sensor to

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:43.360
generate 80x 60 pixel thermal images

00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:47.560
that are accurate to within. 1° C from a

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:50.480
range ofus 20 all the way up to 120°

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:59.200
that's -4 to 248 Fahrenheit for our American viewers the visible camera is

00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.360
less impressive it's a 640x 480 yeah VGA

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:05.440
air and that's pretty much all we know about

00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:11.720
it other than the reason that the Fleer one even has one without getting too

00:03:08.799 --> 00:03:19.400
deep into this resolution is a word that gets frequently misused it means how

00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:23.519
much detail can be resolved from an

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:26.760
image so a film picture also has a

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:29.280
resolution even if you can't count the

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

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.799
camera is actually where it seems like

00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:44.400
the advertised effective resolution of 160x 120 comes from thanks to a

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:46.959
technique called MSX blending that in a

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:52.799
nutshell captures a visible light picture then strips out everything but

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.400
textures and edges and overlays the thermal image with the ability to peek

00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:02.000
behind it at the original normal capture as needed for easy diagnosis of whatever

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:06.439
it is that you're looking at an HVAC system a problematic circuit or that

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:12.879
freaking cat that's trying to avoid being taken to the vet Fleer claims this

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:16.759
technique allows the image to have five times the detail a figure that they may

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

00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:26.040
or six times it clearly works pretty darn well because the thermal image

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:31.280
alone is much more difficult to read especially for a lay person like me and

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:36.639
on top of still image capture it actually supports video Panorama and

00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:41.600
even timelapse capture which is actually a stroke of Genius for diagnosing

00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:46.440
problems that might develop slowly or be related to the time of

00:04:43.400 --> 00:04:48.360
day which is cool lus but uh why should

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

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

00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:01.800
freaking cool as for practical uses there are actually many thermal imagers

00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:06.440
like so many things were actually developed for military use allowing

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:11.120
Personnel to detect heat signatures engine exhaust operating machinery and

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:15.160
even people during the Korean War but today their applications range from

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.240
medical use ever seen those cameras and arrivals at the international airport

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

00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:27.440
to building optimization to check the effectiveness of insulation to law

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:32.039
enforcement night vision goggles anyone to storm tracking to Home Inspection to

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:36.680
you're watching you name it and what we've been enjoying is the way that

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:41.199
suddenly a thermal camera allows us to validate manufacturer claims like

00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:44.880
oneplus's assertion that their quick charging technique keeps the phone

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:50.919
running cooler than competing qualcom Quick Charge 3.0 and razors claim that

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:54.479
the new blade 14 2016 Edition runs much

00:05:50.919 --> 00:05:57.199
cooler than last year's model neat right

00:05:54.479 --> 00:06:02.280
yeah I guess lonus but uh does this make the existence of higher end ones like

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.919
the Fleer E60 which is like a $7,000

00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:08.400
camera that you were showing off on Instagram a little while ago uh

00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:13.919
Superfluous great question but no I don't think so the app is surprisingly

00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:19.400
stable and functional but higher end models have features that are a must for

00:06:16.599 --> 00:06:24.000
industrial use swappable batteries SD recording rugged housing and the ability

00:06:21.599 --> 00:06:29.759
to operate without a phone attached to name a few and the fler one is not

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:34.199
perfect we ran into compatibility issues for example with the iPhone SE and on

00:06:32.039 --> 00:06:40.319
the Android side of things the onward March towards USB type-c standardization

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:45.840
reveals the problem with that future proofness issue that I alluded to before

00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:48.880
we actually tried using uh type c to

00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:50.880
microe adapter with the HTC 10 but we

00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:58.520
didn't have any luck getting it to work though your mileage may vary bottom line

00:06:54.599 --> 00:07:01.440
though it's not perfect and hopefully

00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:06.160
resolution durab and compatibility rise as cost continues to lower but if you

00:07:04.039 --> 00:07:09.879
need an affordable thermal camera for some reason then the Fleer one which

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.919
Fleer is leaving with us to enrich our future reviews by the way which is

00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:17.680
awesome will likely be as welcome in addition to your diagnostic Arsenal as

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:23.400
it is to ours speaking of being a welcome

00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:25.800
addition to Your Arsenal tunnel bear and

00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:32.000
my notes say something about summer and boarding planes and cars and trains does

00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:34.639
anyone board a car anyway the point is

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:39.360
that tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:44.000
and enjoy a more open internet with tunnel bear turned on a couple of things

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:49.720
happen number one is your connection is secured with AES 256bit encryption and

advertisers who are looking to harvest your data and sell you more like I don't

00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:02.199
know aluminum spoon or whatever some

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:06.800
stupid thing that you've probably seen a banner for recently tunnel bear has a

00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:11.800
top rated privacy policy and does not log your activity and the best part is
