Smartphone Thermal Camera Attachments

Our pick

FLIR ONE Edge Pro

Choose the FLIR ONE Edge Pro for thermal inspections with your phone.1

Why this one

  • The wireless connection lets you place the camera where you need it while keeping your phone in a comfortable viewing position.1
  • Its visible-image overlay helps you identify the part behind a hotspot, and the same camera works with supported Android and iOS devices.1

FLIR ONE Edge Pro

The alternatives

Other contenders

  • HIKMICRO Mini2 V2

    For a light plug-in setup, consider the Mini2 V2: its roughly 20 gram module uses USB-C and supports compatible iOS, Android and Windows devices.7

  • HIKMICRO Mini2Plus V2

    Choose the USB-C Mini2Plus V2 for manual focus in a lighter module: it weighs roughly 24 grams, versus roughly 45 grams for the Mini3.8925

  • HIKMICRO Mini3

    For a finer detector grid on an Android USB-C device, choose the Mini3: it provides 384 by 288 thermal pixels, compared with the Edge Pro’s 160 by 120.19

  • HIKMICRO MiniE

    For a household with USB-C phones and Lightning iPhones, consider the MiniE package, which includes support for both connector types.1026

  • Thermal Master P2 Pro Android with Macro Lens

    For close-up circuit-board checks, choose the Android USB-C P2 Pro package with its included magnetic macro lens.17

  • TOPDON TC001 Plus

    For a USB-C attachment that combines visible and thermal images on Android or Windows, choose the TC001 Plus to locate a hotspot on the actual component.2327

  • TOPDON TC002C Duo

    For a direct USB-C camera used across compatible iPhones, Android devices and Windows computers, choose the TC002C Duo.24

Buying advice

  • Check the app requirements before buying the ONE Edge Pro: FLIR currently specifies iOS 17 or later, or Android 13 or later.1
  • The Nano packages here include Android USB-C, iPhone USB-C and iPhone Lightning versions; match the connector and app compatibility to your phone.12131415
  • The Mini3’s 50 Hz mode requires a mobile device with at least 8 GB of RAM.9
  • Match each wired ONE Pro package to your phone: Android USB C, iPhone Lightning and iPhone USB C versions are separate.34541
  • The Android P2 Pro needs Android 6.0 or later, OTG enabled and the Thermal Master app with its required permissions.42
  • Compare native detector grids separately from enhanced images: the TC001 Max has a 256 by 192 detector, while its 512 by 384 image uses TISR processing.22
  • The plain TC002C supports iPhone 15 and 16 models and USB-C iPads, not Android or Mac; check the separate TC002C Duo compatibility list if you need broader device support.2443
  • For the US Testo 860i package, check iOS 17 or Android 14 or later and Bluetooth 4.0 support; its app connection is wireless, while USB-C is for charging.16
