I picked up the Seek Compact for home diy stuff like air sealing. Its interesting and will take some practice, but its not as sensitive as I thought it would be. I really wish they offered the hi-lo limit set like on the Pro because the constant changing of the gradient makes it hard to spot stuff like hot pipes or slightly warm wirres in walls. It does reveal how bad my insulation is tho :( I wish I had the budget to test the Flir One right now too.

How do these compare to Qianli super cam or super cam X?
@VCCBoardRepairs2 жыл бұрын
Great question. I've used the first gen Qianli Supercam and it was ok. the problem is the lack of a macro lens option, so you basically have to look at the board very far away. So it's not practical for finding shorts. You can definitely see where the heat is and in many cases see it. But sometimes, it's hard to tell which cap exactly is the short. Plus it's a lot more expensive than a Seek + Macro + Stand and it's a lot bigger & bulkier, requires a PC & can be tricky to setup The seek solution i show in the video is a much better overall solution for thermal detection on iPhone/iPad logic board fault finding.
