Would anyone find a thermal imaging borescope useful for DIY or inspection work?
Hi everyone, I’m doing some early research and wanted to get your thoughts. Imagine a handheld borescope (like those used for inspecting tight spaces in walls, engines, or pipes), but with built-in thermal imaging — so you could not only see visually, but also detect heat signatures behind walls, inside machinery, etc. Would a tool like that be useful to you? If so, what kinds of jobs or use cases would you imagine it being helpful for (e.g., electrical troubleshooting, HVAC, plumbing, automotive, etc.)? And what would be “must-have” features (screen type, cable flexibility, resolution, etc.)? I’m not selling anything — just trying to understand if there’s real-world interest or if it’s too niche. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Breadfruit-Secure [link] [comments]
