Looking forward to fault finding some underfloor heating.

How is it doing now? Is it a normal occurence or is your unit defective? I'm particularly concerned because I haven't seen a FLIR i7 before and wanted to buy one for general use as well as doing quick scan of the neighborhood at night to see hiding dogs or animals and I don't want it to pause every now and then (hope others can share too). Thanks. Hi Mark,

FLIR's i-series now all have a temperature range of -20C to 250C (-4F to 428F). Hi everyone, when FLIR announced the FLIR i3, they updated the temperature specs on the FLIR i7 and Extech i5.

Thanks for the reply. I just spoke with Donnie a tech from FLIR. He said that it could be a matter of ghosting or that the i7 has refresh rate of 9Hz so it might not update as fast as you move the camera. But, he did say that you can contact him directly and ask him. This is his direct number: (978) 901-8356 If there's anything else you need, feel free to give me a shout! Thanks Mark. Hi Mark!
