Datasheet of the flir one pro says 400C. With 160 x 120 thermal resolution, FLIR ONE Pro uses FLIR’s highest resolution micro thermal camera and can measure temperatures as high as 400 °C (752 °F)
Wonder why they still have the 9 Hz limitation? The Seek CompactPro has a >15Hz framerate, and I think it makes a huge difference when actually trying to use them. I know there's export issues, but it is pretty easy to have two models, one for domestic and one for export.
I can't believe how pathetic the resolution is on these. Does anybody know what the maximum resolution available to the public will be in the coming years? Sounds like I'll be passing on this tech if there aren't significant increases in resolution and frame rate.
The technology you want is called QuantumFilm. It had its public-ish debut at HotChips 2016, which means it's maybe still a year or two from commercialization. Basically it's a sensor material that's more sensitive than Si to light, and to IR. Being more sensitive means you can provide more pixels without having to increase the size of the lens.
I know of at least one other company working on the same sort of idea (quantum dots for better camera detectors) but as far as I know they have said nothing public yet. Point is, with at least two companies in this space, hopefully things will happen before 2020.
This is one of the cases where a company is rather vigorously taking advantage of its monopoly on making the sensors. FLIR has a 640x480 sensor, which you can buy integrated into a camera for $13,000.
The military are rather jealous of their high-frame-rate high-resolution thermal sensors, and do not seem to believe that they should be trivially-priced items of commerce; no Chinese company has jumped on this yet, possibly because the sensors are actually hard to make.
Why is the standard 3rd gen model worse (only 80x60) than the 2nd gen model? Even more ridiculous: 2. gen = 249$ = 160x120 3. gen "pro" = 399$ = 160x120 What's up with that?
Can anyone tell me please what format is used for the files produced by the FLIR ONE Pro, and is software avaialble for post-prosessing to get information such as spot temperatures, averages within a specified perimeter, etc? Thanks.

Can you confirm the 450C range for the ONE pro? Their own website still shows 248F being the maximumhttp://www.flir.com/flirone/flironepro/

I will check with them again when I meet them face to face at CES.However, I did double check the 450C number with them when I was discussing the presentation that they gave to the press.

So says web chat through FLIR website:Ashley : -4°F to 752°F (-20°C to +400°C)
Ashley : it goes up for sale in April

Actually, FLIR messed up the presentation. The 400C is for the standalone FLIR C3. The FLIR One Pro is still 248F / 120CAkteni - Friday, August 18, 2017 - link

What's up with that?

true, 3pro looks almost identical to 2, and 3 looks like 1.MHSG - Saturday, May 6, 2017 - link
