    Discrepancy to flag. FLIR advertises an IFOV of 6.3 mrad, while recalculating it from its own 54° field of view and 160 columns gives 5.89 mrad, a 6.5% discrepancy. Both values appear on the datasheet.

    Observations

    • Degraded accuracy. ±3°C or ±3%, versus ±2°C across the entire HIKMICRO B series sold for less. This is the worst accuracy among the standalone devices in this comparison.
    • Minimum focus distance of 0.10 m in thermal mode, but 0.30 m as soon as MSX mode is enabled: FLIR's flagship feature reduces the useful working distance.
    • Explicit export notice from distributors. Sale and export banned to China, Hong Kong, Russia, and Venezuela.
    • Thermal Studio Starter is free; the Standard and Pro versions are subscription-based.
