This is a quick review of the Foxwell RT280 handheld thermal imaging camera, with screen. It shows the temperatures of different parts of the image displayed. It also has a laser guide spot and can take and store pictures of the displayed thermal image. A good device in my opinion. 2C accuracy typically. Can measure up to 500C ! This is the Foxwell RT280
I try it out here in this review looking at heat emissions from the body, car engines, looking at both a petrol enginean and EV as well as the A/C system. Useful for all. Also looked around the home to see what is wasting energy and emitting heat. Amazon Echo is one of the wasters!
Here is the Thermal Camera on Amazon (when available):

Using these links will not cost you any more than going there without using these, but it does earn me some few coins and saves you a bit of time.
