Fotric Tk7 as a mid-range thermal cam?
It seems like fotric still doesn’t have a bunch of user feedback online. I thought I might ask in here before spending a ton of time comparing specs.
I have been looking at the Tk7 as a mid-range thermal camera. It’s not super cheap but also not the FLIR E-series pricing either. The main things that caught my attention were the 384x288 resolution, 30hz refresh rate and the fact that its focus free.
For building, HVAC and electrical inspections - that honestly sounds more practical to me than consistently adjusting the manual focus while walking around all day. But guessing it’s probably less ideal for really small targets or PCB-level stuff.
I’ve also been comparing it against cameras like the FLIR E8 Pro and Fluke Tis75+… FLIR obviously has the better reputation and ecosystem, but going back to 9Hz imaging sometimes feels sorta rough once you’ve used a smoother camera.
I’m curious if anyone has actually used the Tk7 or other Fotric handhelds for an extended time and wondering about their: build quality, software stability, temp accuracy over time and support/warranty experience.
Spec wise it seems pretty solid enough, but just hard to tell how they hold up long term in real life maintenance work. Thanks
