Ti32 versus E-60

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

Jason Kaylor and I were discussing the Fluke Ti32 vs the new Flir E-60

Similar pricing / Similar Resolution, etc. I know Jason's thoughts on them.

Several things that are a plus to him are of no interest or use to me.

Has Anybody looked at them or tried them side by side.

FLUKE will not break when you drop them.

Yea comes in handy when it gets thrown in the back of the truck and rolls around and falls out when you open the tailgate.

Has happened to me at least a dozen times or more...

I have one of these attached to my camera, however if you have butter fingers you may want to consider a different line of work or you will go out of business just paying for equipment repairs.

I found out the FLIR e60 is only being sold at alibaba for $4000 and I just chatted with the following seller:

One piece can be ordered. Is it genuine?

[Jeff Zehnder]

Like Linas I also use a neck strap...
I use more than one I also use another for my standard digital camera too.

Rye -

Looks like they may be in China OR elsewhere overseas.

If so does us no good.

What's the least expensive 320x240 around of any brand? I see prices around $8000 even for Irisys brand. I'd buy a genuine 320x240 if it is around $5000. This is why I got a $1995 flir i7 for temporary use and to learn thermal imaging. Because FLIR e40 at 160x120 costs $4500 and resolution not good enough for serious use.

How about you get some experience with what you just bought, despite the advice that you were already given, then figure out what you really need and go buy that.

Based on your posts, which I suspect are trolls, you have no real use for an imager anyway. You just have an endless supply of inane questions.

Here's the ticket to your cheap imager: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMpgeFoYbBI Have fun. Take a hike.

I ordered the FLIR i7.. but I still haven't received it. Will get it 4 weeks from now.

I live in a country where there is practically zero thermal imaging home inspectors so thinking if this would be a great extra business.

Ok. I'm convinced the i7 is almost useless... so when I get it.. I'd either sell it or even tell the supplier to change order if it hasn't left factory yet.

Now studying the FLIR e60 and Fluke Ti32. I found out the e60 has 10 years warranty on the microbolometer!

But the Fluke Ti32 is shock proof and can survive drops.

So the debate is whether the Flir e60 10 years warranty is more advantageous than the Ti32 drop and break-proof warranty. Have you guys actually dropped your thermal camera? The Ti32 seems to be more better and secure but it's microbolometer is only 2 years warranty. What would you guys choose if you were to weight between these two factor (since both have similar specs in other departments)?

Philippines. We do not have any home thermal inspectors here. Nor any place where to study them inside the country. Wonder if there would be market for it in the population. Do you guys study online course or actually attend physical classes for it?

If I'll create a separate company to inspect houses and teach courses. Wonder if there would be market for it. Is there one in Indonesia, Malaysia or other third world countries.. hmm...

I was in love with a Phillipina, actually around 10 of them. I loved my honeyco's no s h i t. I'll never forget Subic Bay.....or the present my love gave to me. Actually a day after I got a shot my pee pee was OK and ready to go again.
