There is always a newer better item around the corner.

I expect to see the prices fall even further over the next year.

Murphy's Law in regards to technology guarantees that you will always be able to buy it for less the day after you purchased it.

This is the camera I use. It has everything you need to get started, but
the proper training. (you may want to order a spare battery, they come
in handy but the camera can be run on the cord if needed).

I am establishing myself as the leader in this area for those who look for
thermal imaging. This is why I did not wait for my competitors to buy
their cameras before me.

These IR cameras do not have the demand like personal computers
do, so do not look for this technology to drop in price quite as fast.

I just found moisture behind a fireplace mantle (unseen) and an electrical
hot spot (280+ degrees) under one of the breakers in a panel.

It works for me. I don't not leave home with it.

I can not believe what I am reading Roy Cook going to buy a B-Cam and been giving me a hard time for using an amp meter on an electric furnace What gives Roy are you going Hi-Tech. Glad to hear it congratulations. I am a of the opinion that we all in the HI business should provide our clients every advantage and or tool we can afford to allow us to provide a better service.

Keep it up

Thanks for the plug I just tried to give you a green and it said I had already given you my quota and that I had to give some to others first.
NACHI is great we can at times disagree and still like each other .

When you think about it Flir should be giving us the extra battery with the purchase of the camera. The case my camera came with has a slot for the extra battery when I asked about the extra battery I was told it costs $300.
IMO It should be included with the purchase. I guess it's a money grab from Flir just like the cost of the courses. Level 1 cost me $1900+ Tax [less discount]!!! WOW!!
Maybe I should buy some stock.

Buy now!!
Will the camera cost $1000 less 6 months from now? You can actually make more than that using the camera in the next 6 months.

BTW I don't know how they [Flir] can improve this camera, it works great the way it is!

Live from WAHI

I'm listening to Steve Ramos from HGTV give a presentation on Infrared for Home Inspectors.

Good stuff, more later.

Want to see Darwin's natural selection at work? Here's a post on another board that shows why some folks just shouldn't be business owner's:
Quote:
I recently purchased the FLIR B-Cam SD. I paid $6,750 plus sales tax for a total of $7,200. I find myself in a serious cash flow situation and can't really afford the travel and training to become certified. Too many irons in the fire.The camera has never been used except to try it out around my home. I am willing to sell for $5,900 and I will pay the shipping.
