The FLIR One Pro

Staff Editorial - The FLIR One Pro epitomizes what science historian James Burke termed the “warm blanket of technology”. Let’s face it, technology makes some things undeniably easier. Yes, there are drawbacks and unintended consequences to some tech, but who could argue with the necessary usefulness say of a CT Scanner in the hands of a medical imaging professional, or a Satellite Telephone for a search and rescue team. The FLIR One in the hands of an HVAC tech or a general contractor, could be deemed necessarily useful. 

The FLIR One Pro connects to an iPhone via the lighting port.

A field tech or a contractor, in many ways, is like a magician; working with things often unseen to please the audience, in this case, the customer is the audience. The FLIR ONE Pro is geared toward finding invisible problems – hot electrical panels, mechanical problems, HVAC issues, water damage, etc. - and this is important - before they become large-scale, highly-visible problems.

Here's the lowdown on how this technological dynamo becomes a tech's magic wand - it comes loaded with state of the art innovations. The FLIR One Pro boasts enhanced resolution through VividIRᵀᴹ which improves thermal sensitivity and image quality, while FLIR MSX® technology adds finer details and perspective to images. And, it has the FLIR OneFitᵀᴹ connector, which extends up to 4 mm to attach the device to your smartphone through many popular phone cases. Pretty cool if you ask us!

Hmmm reminds me of a certain blockbuster movie from the ‘80s.

So why the "Predator" reference in the headline graphic? We admit, it is a bit odd, but we cannot help but see thermal images and set our mental way-back machine to 1987, the year that produced arguably the finest cinematic experience of all time - John McTiernan's "Predator". The movie is as infinitely quotable/watchable as the FLIR One Pro is useful. And who knows, maybe the Predator was using FLIR imaging tech the whole time.

For all you contractors, HVAC techs, field workers out there, the FLIR One Pro allows you to channel your inner "Predator" by hunting for problems before they prey on your project.  Or if the magician analogy is more fitting, with a wave of the FLIR One Pro, you can see that which is invisible to the naked eye, and solve an issue before things escalate. 

Easy to use and portable, the FLIR One Pro is ready to be your magic wand in diagnosing problems invisible to the naked eye.
