I’ve been PCMag’s home entertainment expert for over 10 years, covering both TVs and everything you might want to connect to them. I’ve reviewed more than a thousand different consumer electronics products including headphones, speakers, TVs, and every major game system and VR headset of the last decade. I’m an ISF-certified TV calibrator and a THX-certified home theater professional, and I’m here to help you understand 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even 8K (and to reassure you that you don’t need to worry about 8K at all for at least a few more years). The Flir One Pro's 160-by-120 thermal resolution is one of its biggest advantages, with four times the number of thermal imaging pixels as the 80-by-60 Flir One and Flir One Pro LT. The photos and videos it captures are the same resolutions due to the identical visual camera and MSX processing, but they can show much more thermal detail thanks to the extra pixels. The contours and boundaries of hot and cold spots are far more distinct through the Flir One Pro, producing a massive jump in imaging quality and usability from the other versions. Objects that looked like vague splotches through the Flir One are much more easily discernible through the Flir One Pro.

We built the FLIR ONE Pro for serious do-it-yourselfers, contractors, home inspectors and anyone who wants the most power and functionality from their smartphone thermal camera. The FLIR ONE Pro delivers a major advancement in thermal image quality and capabilities available in a smartphone thermal camera. Four Times the Resolution The MSX view can be switched to just thermal or just visual views with a tap on the menu that pops up from the lower right corner of the screen. This menu also lets you choose from nine different color palettes including the default orange-and-purple Iron palette. You can also look at the thermal readings with five other color gamuts, grayscale, and grayscale with the coldest parts of the frame highlighted as blue or the hottest parts of the frame highlighted as red. Both the new third generation FLIR ONE and FLIR ONE Pro will be available worldwide in the first half of 2017 at established FLIR partners and at FLIR.com. Customers can pre-register today for the FLIR ONE and FLIR ONE Pro at www.flir.com/flirone. With its 19,200 pixel resolution and VividIR™ image processing, FLIR ONE Pro gives you the ability to see more detail when it matters mostYou can capture still photos, videos, and time-lapse recordings through the Flir app, all saved at 1,440-by-1,080 resolution. Videos are saved as MP4 or MOV files (depending on Android or iOS versions of the device). The app retains all the thermal imaging data, letting you toggle between MSX, thermal, and visual views; change palettes; adjust temperature ranges for the chosen palette; and meter specific temperatures. Effectively, whatever you can do to adjust the picture while you're taking it, you can also do with the picture after it's taken. However you adjust the picture, you can then save and share a standard JPEG file through any app or service on your phone. Higher Resolution and Hotter Temperatures

With its 19,200 pixel resolution—a 4x improvement over the FLIR ONE® Pro LT—and VividIR™, FLIR ONE® Pro gives you the ability to see more detail when it matters most.MSX and VividIR enhanced image processing and video capabilities give you the sharpest mobile thermal imaging performance

Measure temperatures between up to 400°C (752°F) with up to three spot temperature meters and six temperature regions of interest While the Flir One Pro's thermal core is a much higher resolution than the 80-by-60 cores in the Flir One and Flir One Pro LT, it's still only 160 by 120, and so will only show broad blotches and vague shapes on its own. That's why Flir uses its MSX image processing to combine the thermal image with the larger and more detailed view of the visual camera. MSX analyzes the contours of objects the visual camera sees, and displays them as transparent lines over the thermal image to help you identify what you're looking at. Imaging OptionsThe bottom edge of the Pro holds a power button and a USB-C port for charging with the included USB A-to-C cable (a wall adapter isn't included). The camera uses its own internal battery rather than running off of your phone, so it has to stay charged to work. Flir says the camera can reach a full charge in 40 minutes and can last up to an hour of thermal imaging. Besides the charging cable, the Flir One Pro comes with a hard, zip-up case for storage.
