[sdiy] Flir One iOS/Android for SMT PCB analysis?

[Justin Owen]

I'm looking for some heat analysis/measurement help that is a step up from the £5 laser thermometer I bought off eBay.

Has anyone here got experience with using this for PCB heat analysis?

I know it's not going to compete with a multi-thousand currency device - but I'm wondering if it would allow enough resolution to show potential problems with individual component/traces/connections on a SMT PCB?

Most of the press images from the company show very large objects being measured. This is the only video I've seen so far where someone uses it for specifically this application - and it doesn't look too bad:
