I use mine daily (integrated infiRay module in my phone and love it) finding brake faults, overheating cable connections, defective modules pulling power, diagnosing AC pumps and PTC heaters for both ICE and EV cars, finding bad 12v battery cells when charging (one hot cell =dead or dying battery) checking heated mirrors and rear defrosters and seats, checking catalytic converters if they are hotter on the exhaust side like they should be, and much more private in my house and outside 😅 Also seeing if the tire pressure is wrong

Does the air leak show up as warmer or cooler than the surrounding area? I work with air brakes a lot and won’t give this a try.

I used it for wheel alignment before, where the bearing had a fault and I let the customer drive the vehicle and you can see where it was making more contact. Another is for bearing fault. More friction, more heat

Absolutely love thermal imaging, are they expensive yes but take consideration of labour time looking for faults, not just electronic but for failed pulleys, wiper linkage pivot points brakes... Had one the other day with a misfire and could see the different temps on the pencil coil packs, the list is endless such a powerful tool and a time saver 👌

Great video Darren. I bought a so called rugged mobile phone with an inbuilt FLIR thermal camera a few years ago which turned out to be the perfect choice for me as a mobile mechanic. I needed a mobile phone at the same time I bought it so buying that phone proved to be much cheaper than buying the camera and the mobile separately. Now this phone has been replaced with several never models so the price has dropped considerably. If you buy it now it will be almost like buying a thermal camera with a free mobile smart phone (4G Android 10).

@@MechanicMindset No, it is Ulefone Armor 9 and it has a great Samsung camera too. I bought it with an endoscope and a body cam that has night vision. The accessories have proven to be well worth the money spent. The endoscope is much better than some others that I have seen. Regarding the night vison body cam you can position the phone in front of your eyes and the camera pointed at what you want to see and you can continue working during a blackout for that matter.
