Both the Fluke PTi120 and FLIR C5 are powerful pocket-sized thermal cameras. In many ways these IR cameras are quite similar, but they differ in a few key ways. Devin, one of our on-staff ITC Certified Thermographers, breaks down every part of this comparison so you can pick the best tools for your needs.
The first thing most people consider when it comes to thermal cameras is the infrared resolution. In this case, the FLIR C5 takes the edge with 160x120 resolution compared to only 120x90 on the Fluke PTi120. That means that overall, the FLIR will provide sharper images. You can see this in the demo sections of this video.
The Fluke PTi120 does offer slightly better thermal sensitivity at 60mk (0.06°C) compared to 70mk (0.07°C) on the FLIR C5. That means the PTi120 will be able to detect slightly smaller temperature differences.
Temperature range is one important area where these two cameras differ. On the FLIR C5, the maximum temperature limit is 400°C. On the Fluke PTi120 base model (shown in this video), the maximum temperature that can be measured is 150°C. Fluke does offer a version of the PTi120 with a 400°C temperature limit, but this model is significantly more expensive than both the C5 and PTi120 base model.
Both cameras offer a form of image blending. On the FLIR C5 you get the powerful FLIR MSX which is arguably the best IR blending technology on the market. It is proprietary to FLIR and provides excellent contrast and context in your IR images. It is not opacity blending, it's much better - FLIR uses a unique algorithm to extract visual details and overlay them on thermal images.
Fluke offers IR Fusion which is a traditional opacity blending technology. With this feature, you can adjust the opacity of the thermal image to reveal the visual image. This does add context and detail but as you lower the opacity, you lose much of the thermal detail.
Both cameras support cloud data upload. On both cameras you can connect to WiFi to automatically upload images to the cloud as you capture them. On the FLIR C5, the feature is called FLIR Ignite. On the Fluke PTi120, it is called Fluke Connect.
Both cameras also include free reporting software. You can use these software suites to edit images and create professional reports for your clients or supervisors.
In terms of side-by-side comparison of these cameras, the menus look different but do largely the same things. Nearly all the same settings can be found on either camera. Check out the interface demo to see exactly how each camera's menu looks.
We also tested each camera in an electrical and building inspection setting. Each one performed well, but the FLIR C5 did get a big boost from its higher resolution and FLIR MSX technology. Check out the demos to see for yourself.
