Default IR Case For Belt

IR Case For Belt. Buy at wallmart and cut hole at bottom for IR camera handle.
Holds my regular camera as well. I can zip the lid and carry everywhere.

I guess you never know when you'll need it in an emergency. Good to have it right at hand.

It keeps my IR camera at my side at all time so I can see it.
Keeps the dirt and rain off of it, until I need it.

Sometimes I wear it to bed with my Spiderman pajamas.

I have always, kinda, suspected that of you, John.

Not that there is anything wrong with that

Personally, I prefer Ironman pajamas. Goes better with the SD color scheme

Hope this helps;

I carry mine in this pouch made by Husky. It's actually made to carry a cordless drill, but the BCAM fits nicely. . .

How did you guys convince your wives to spend that much money on a IR camera? I'm trying to convince her that the payback will be indirect by the camera helping discover problem(s) that might have been missed (avoiding lawsuit).

If you add just $50 to your inspection fee... the camera will pay for itself in
more or less 100 inspections. How can you afford not to buy one.? You
can charge more than $50, but this is just an example.

Tell your wife that you wear the pants in the family and then see if she hits you...

I like what John said above Here is another way to look at it:

You can lease (to own) a BCAM SD (very nice camera for HI's) for 99.00 a month (first year). If you only do 10 inspections a month, than that is 10.00 an inspection. You can spend more than 10 bucks on lunch in one day!

The camera will end up making you more money if marketed properly. I make close to 2,000 a month in additional revenue just for IR services alone.

Good Luck

Kevin

I actually like my Flir camera holster.

I got mine FREE (with the automobile battery charger) with my B-2 camera purchase.

This is what worked for me: I got her liquored up one night and told her I was gonna go IR and it was only gonna cost $3000. She thought that was too much!!! Sometimes you just have to stretch the truth a little. Or just lie your ***** off.
