Comparison Summary
Both the FLIR C2 and Seek Thermal RevealPRO are advanced handheld thermal imaging cameras. Each has a small form factor which makes it easy to fit these cameras in a pocket and carry with you comfortably all day. There are, however, some big differences between the two.
The C2 is backed by FLIR, one of the biggest names in thermal imaging technologies. FLIR backs up the C2 with a 10-year warranty on the thermal detector – no one else in the industry can compare to that. The C2 also includes FLIR’s proprietary MSX image enhancement technology, giving you unmatched visible details in your thermal images. Before MSX, you needed a visible light reference image to compare side by side with your thermal image – FLIR MSX has eliminated this by blending visible details into thermal images.
The Seek Thermal RevealPRO has a 1-year warranty and does not include any image blending or enhancement technologies. That said, the RevealPRO does have some impressive specifications. It features a 320 x 240 pixel thermal sensor resolution, compared to only 80 x 60 pixels on the C2. The RevealPRO wins again when comparing temperature range – it covers -40 to 626°F, compared to 14 to 302°F on the FLIR C2. Seek also says the RevealPRO has a 32° Field of View, compared to 41° × 31° on the C2.
Other notable differences include frame rate or image frequency, where the RevealPRO features a 15 Hz Frame Rate when using FastFrame in Normal Mode, compared to 9 Hz on the C2. For thermal accuracy, the C2 comes in at ±2°C or 2%. Seek Thermal has actually not published the accuracy of the RevealPRO on its website or on any of the product’s data sheets/manuals.
The RevealPRO does take the edge in thermal sensitivity at 70mK, while the C2 is close behind at 100mK. The RevealPRO also beats the C2 on internal storage with its 4GB drive capable of storing 4,000 images – the C2 can only store 500 image sets internally. As for screen size, the C2 wins ground here with a 3-inch screen, compared to 2.4-inch on the RevealPRO.
The FLIR C2 also has some unique features which are not found on the RevealPRO. The C2 supports non-radiometric IR video streaming to mobile devices running the FLIR Tools App. With the C2, you can also transfer images via USB to the FLIR Tools professional reporting software for Mac or PC. This software lets you analyze your images and make adjustments before creating professional reports right in the software.
