Clear view. Great readouts!

Amazing device. I used the TC001 for a while, but this one does more. Clear pictures. Excellent thermal readout. You can hook it ro Android, iPhone, or your PC. If used this for automotive repairs, in home repairs, wildlife, etc. It does it all.

Highly recommend!

Impressive and has a huge number of use cases

The topdon TC002C duo is a fun little device that is easy to set up and use. The software is simple to navigate and there are plenty options to tweak and mess around with. The potential use cases are immense and I am still thinking of useful things to do with it. Its great for spotting animals in the woods and trouble shooting electronics. My wifi keeps dropping and using this helped me narrow down any overheating issues. It is even capable of detecting the full moon!

The downsides are the USB c port is too short and you may have to remove your phone case.

If you use the super resolution feature (TISR) this will hammer your phones GPU and draw extra battery power from your phone.

Im also concerned the price will go up more, its already on the concerning side of affordability.

If you buy one of these I'm sure you will find great use with it!

Was skeptical but very impressed

I was skeptical about a thermal camera for a phone. But damn this thing is amazing. In the video you see a clothes dryer, dog, you can see my footprints from where I was standing and the food I heated in the microwave. Excellent little attachment for a great price.

User Friendly…

My energy bill is insane. I decided to get Dow to the root cause. I’m too cheap to pay someone for something I can do myself. Get this camera. It’s user friendly and it works. No this isn’t a portal to hell, it’s my front door!

Extreme DIY

TOPDON TC002C Duo Thermal Camera, Compatible with Any USB-C iPhone, iPad & Android

plugs into my USB-C phone easily and gives a usable thermal image for spotting drafts, checking insulation, and finding hot spots on electronics. The app is simple enough to navigate, and for casual DIY use it gets the job done. I had some issues with temps being of by 20 degrees. Also has a ghost image on the screen the entire time. I did return its so not sure if it was a defective unit. Did the reset and contacted support which they actually picked up the phone. App was easy to download and use.

Everyone who works with HVAC systems needs one of these!

Great tool for half the price of "you-know-how"! Used it to diagnose a steam condensate issue that had been plaguing a hospital for two years. All the techs ordered one the same day! Awesome!

Easy to use and works with iPhones and Android phones.

Excellent and high quality product. I had a recent leak in my ceiling and saw demolition crew using this product to determine the extent of water damage. Love this handy little yet powerful tool. Easy to use and works with iOS and Android OS + USB-C . Highly recommend this product.

Better than expected.

This tc002duo worked perfectly. Very easy to install app, plug into phone, and it was working.

The image better than i expected. I can clearly tell what I'm looking at. The temperature readings are within one degree of any other device I have, so its calibrated. Comes with two adapters. One for older apple plug, and one for using a cable vs direct plug-in to device. This thing has already solved the warped front door mistery. See image with front door hot spot.

AWESOME IR camera finds hydronic tubing inside concrete, pays for itself in 5 minutes!

I needed to mount some steel plates on a concrete slab which has buried hydronic tubing 2" below the surface. I had photos of the tubing before concrete was poured, but I wanted to be absolutely sure of the locations before I drilled holes. I ran hot water through the system and used the TC002C thermal camera to locate the tubing. The attached photo clearly shows the serpentine tubing. You can also see the steel mounting plate in the proposed location, it has a hole in the center. You can see it centered on the tubing; the mounting holes are on either side. This camera paid for itself in 5 minutes!

The Android app installed easily and the camera came right up. The app is intuitive, it lets you take snapshots and videos. To take more accurate images, you can select the "emittance" of the material. The menu didn't have an entry for concrete, which seems like an oversight. (To save you time: concrete has an emittance of .95-.98 per Gemini prompt. The default of .95 therefore is fine.)

Great infared camera

I used it to check wire temperatures in my solar set up. Found out the fuse I was using was over heating. Wouldn't have found out without this. Also shows where I need to insulate the house checking the ceiling for hot spots.

Really useful for the homeowner reports.

Great Value alternative for an iPhone user

So far this has been extremely helpful. I waited forever for the name brand to get their act together on a USB-C iPhone compatibility. This solution works flawlessly, without delays or difficulty in connecting.

The pictures have helped immensely with finding my weak spots in air sealing a new construction house. Already paid for itself in closing up those energy penalties that would have accrued over the life of the building.

Best of all it’s higher thermal resolution and lower cost than the comparable name brand solution.

Amazing camera!

Great product! Fast frame-rate! Works with my iPhone 13 Pro Max as well as my Launch x431 pros v5.0 scan tool.

Awesome addition for a photographer!!

I'm a photographer and I purchased this to add a new perspective. This is awesome. It does have many uses and I don't think photography is always considered.

Great tool for finding insulation issues. Kinda fun to play with too!

I originally bought this to help find problems with the insulation in my house. This is one of those tools that has endless applications. Had to buy a USB C extender so I could use it while keeping my phone cover on. Put the app on my phone and was using it in less than 10 minutes.

Easy to use. Amazing camera.

Super easy to use. Download your app and plug it in. Lots of fun to use. Perfect for when the dogs are going crazy. I can see what they are barking at.

Review with DasTaco

Images should speak for themselves

I bought this to use with diagnosing circuits for my business as well as try to find any pests and ventilation issues around the house, but it's completely unusable. The first issue was that there was this creeping temperature spike taking over almost half of the screen, as if there was a fire of warmth coming in from the side that never exists. Then I decided to try to calibrate the image. Following it's instructions and those 60seconds, we now have an even more unusable image.

Good buy!

Man this thing works like a champ. Bought it so I can see fluid levels out on my leases that don’t have transmitters for the tanks and it’s kept me out of a bind. Mobil, comes with extra cords so I don’t have to take off my phone cover, and also doesn’t break the bank. It just overall has helped me out in my line of work. Couldn’t be happier. lol! I never write reviews for anything so that’s saying a lot. 10 out of 10 for me.

Coolant flow through a heater core.

For the money I think it’s a great camera. Connects really easy with iPhone.

Image starts to blur after a couple minutes of use

The screen on the duo seems to get hung up after a few minutes creating a kind of heat haze or cloudy blurred lines across the screen itself. I got two of these and they both do it. Will try the dedicated iOS device and if that doesn’t work maybe go back to flir. Included two photos, one is clear right after you plug it in and the second d with lines is after about a minute of use and it gets worse from there.

Without an adjustable USB C plug it’s pointless.

For the few that carry their smartphone without a case I suppose this may work. I suspect the majority of users have their phones in a case and so to set the connector properly the USB C plug needs to be adjustable to add 0-2mm of additional length so that an owner can configure the usbc plug to fit their phone configuration (see photo) Otherwise the camera won’t plug in fully and thus is non functional.

feedback is broken

You pay to buy it and you pay to use it.

Every time you use the device you need to refuse to buy AI analysis. Literally every picture you take brings up the subscription box. I just paid them to shove ads in my face. Said no 5 times in the first minute of testing the thing out.

You want me to pay to use the thing then give it away for free. I'm not going to pay this much for a tool then pay to use it.
