FLIR i7 Review


Released after the Extech i5, the FLIR i7 infared camera is one step up. The FLIR i7 is a great tool for home inspections. What sets the FLIR i7 apart from the Extech i5 is its 120×120 sensor which for the most part, besides having the FLIR name, only costs an extra $400 from the Extech i5. The FLIR i7’s sensor is better for detecting things like missing insulation or any inspection tasks that require the need to differentiate greater temperate variances.


Opening the FLIR i7 for the first time, you’ll see that it comes with many accessories. This is also true with the Extech i5. Here’s what you’ll find inside the box hard case:


512Mb microSD card
MiniSD adaptor
Li-ion rechargeable battery
AC adaptor / charger
QuickReport™ software
USB cable
Built-in lens protector
Hard Transportation Case
Hand strap
User manual CD in 21 languages
