My 3 cents: 1. Uni-T has paralax compensation, which PC210 poesn't have. 2. PC210 can be set to constant thermal range (e.g. -5...+10 deg), while in Uni-T image is constantly "fitted" into full registered themperature range all the time (if I am correct).
@ridewithl0ve2 жыл бұрын
The temperature thermal range lock is a very cool feature. Please make a video of how it works in practice. This will probably save you from very cold sky, when the gradient of warm objects is completely lost.For example, when viewing the facade of a house, in the evening and a clear sky.

what kind of lag are you refering to...when you say less lag on the potplayer? If i remember the 260b had horrendous lag, like a second or two, and made "live view" quite cumbersome. what kind of refreshrate do they operate with.. still the ITAR regulated 9hz. but they should really put a manual focus on these handheld units. Flirs older more expensive units had manual focus, like fx E60 and also the ex series if I recall' and many of the current dongles to a few hundred likewise, also manual dial focus... It makes a big difference.. sure an added 10USD Chinese ZnSe lens in a 3D bracket, can change the Focus point. and it goes without saying the Guide210 had way clearer image.. the 260B almost looked like it was misaligned, or geared to a focus point farther away. If i work on electronic I tend to use such a setup here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jamcdKSrvJPcmIU.html

The UTi260B/C200 has 25Hz when not streaming, but when streaming it drops to 15Hz. I bought the 260B with the original macro lens and it has very clear image up close. Without it the focus is about 2m away.

PC230 has autofocus and the lens is more a tele lens than the PC210. We think in most situations the PC210 is a better choice. The focal distance range of the PC230 with the macro lens is very small, so it beats the purpose of autofocus. We have added the PC230 to our website. One of the images shows photo's of the PC210 compared to the PC230 with and without macro lens.

@EleshopVideo Жыл бұрын
The target distance where the PC210 can achieve dual-light fusion is 0.5~8m. Within this range the alignment is calibrated to 1.5m. So to achieve the best calibrated overlay of IR and VL images use a target distance of 1.5m. The alignment is not (yet) adjustable.

It is said that it has a serious problem of the manufacturer. When charging it just burns. I found no evidence of anything burned inside it. Is your camera still working for you? There are no spare parts at all for her.
