Seek CompactPRO Smartphone Thermal Camera (Android, USB & iOS)
The LQ-EAAX model must be used in conjunction with the Apple USB-C to Lighting Adapter Cable. The Apple cable is approx. 10cm long (Apple Part Number MUQX3ZM/A) and can be purchased from the Apple Store or Apple dealers. The Compact PRO is Seek Thermal's most powerful thermal camera available for iOS and Android* smartphones and tablets!
Boasting a number of improvements compared to Seek's Compact and Compact XR models, this camera is ideal for a wide variety of professional inspections. Use it to detect problems with electrical components, use it to find building defects or even use it outdoors to track animals. There's nothing the Compact PRO can't do; if you've been looking for an affordable, high-quality solution to get you into thermography, this is the product you've been looking for.
The main difference between this model and the Compact and CompactXR is vastly improved thermal resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. This means that the image taken with the Compact PRO is higher quality than the same image you'd get with the other models. Similarly, the frame rate of the Compact PRO is also improved to above 15Hz, an improvement on the 9Hz offered on the Compact and CompactXR. This will give you a smoother image when moving with the camera.
