It boasts a 6.6-amp-hour battery and a 6.3-inch screen that’s double the size of many top units in this category. A fully functional smartphone with an impressive IP69k rating that makes it ready to go to work in just about any environment, the Armor 9 is one of the only mobile devices on the market with an incorporated thermal imager. The Klein Tools TI250 clinched a spot close to the bottom of our list, as a budget-friendly model that may appeal to fans of the brand who are looking for a simple unit to handle basic tasks, and the Ulefone Armor 9 may just have became the most interesting option on our list - though not necessarily the most capable. We also switched out the PerfectPrime IR0002 with the PerfectPrime IR0006 - which is one of the lightest options offered by the company, as well as one of the options offering the best field of view.

The FLIR Scout II 240 lost its place to the FLIR Scion, which costs considerably more but offers wireless connectivity via both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.īelieving that these four choices meant that the company was already seeing a reasonable share or representation on these rankings, we eliminated the FLIR E8, which was suffering from some availability issues, and went on to replace the PerfectPrime IR0019 with the PerfectPrime IR281 – which offers better resolution. We also replaced the FLIR E5 with the FLIR E8-XT – which features a better resolution and water resistance – and swapped out the FLIR C3 for the FLIR C5 - which is a better option in almost every measurable respect, from its temperature range to its thermal sensitivity. We scrapped the FLIR E75, noting that its recent discontinuation was leaving its availability primed for imminent expiration, and replaced it with its logical successor, the FLIR E76. By the time we were done, the only options that ended up surviving our extensive renovations of these rankings were the Fluke Ti100 and Seek Thermal RevealPRO.


But before long, due to an unusually large influx of new and upgraded models that became available over the last year, the situation quickly spiraled out of control and escalated to an all-out gut job.

When I first approached this update, and saw a list full of excellent options that were (almost) all still readily available, I was sure that this was going to be a fast and easy round of updates.
