    Observations

    • 190 g. The lightest standalone device in this comparison, twelve times lighter than the Fluke TiS55+.
    • ACCURACY ±3°C or ±3%, same as the C5 and worse than the HIKMICRO B series sold at the same price.
    • A full correction chain despite the entry-level positioning: adjustable emissivity, reflected temperature, and atmospheric compensation.
    • Minimum focus distance of 0.10 m in thermal mode but 0.30 m in MSX mode: FLIR's flagship feature triples the useful working distance.
    • The JPEG embeds measurement data at 14 bits, so re-analysis after the fact is possible.
    • Neither vertical field of view, nor pixel pitch, nor NETD conditions are published.
