Title: Add FLIR capability to your iPhone 5
Post by: Glock32 on January 13, 2014, 05:48:06 PM
I have to say, this is pretty freakin' sweet.  The MSRP is $349, which is less than I would have expected.  Slap one of these on your iPhone and become like the Predator. Shoulder cannon not included.

I don't have a smart phone, but that sure makes it tempting.

It's cool, but with the short life-span of phones, it seems like a lot of money to spend knowing that the supporting technology will be outdated within 2 years or less.

I suppose for this purpose alone, you could just keep your old phone around after it becomes unsupported.

That is interesting. Hopefully a bit less pricey on Amazon.

Cheaper than the $2k conventional unit I've been pointlessly drooling over.

No Android version?

No adapter for rifles?   :D

Dammit. They better hurry on that one. Of course, then I'd have to buy a rifle to put it on...

Those boating accidents take their toll, don't they?
