I got one of those cool little thermal cameras that plug into your iPhone, only annoying this is that it's Lightning only (the USB-C model is Android only, weirdly)
Has anyone tried a compact Lightning to USB-C adapter to use these with modern iPhones? I tried a random one from Amazon and no luck

@christianselig same with other non-standard lightning and usb-c accessories: Android version (or lightning via usb-c adapter) lacks magic mfi bits and won’t work without new firmware and recertification.

@timo Yeah I wish they hadn't cheaped out in the first place, my DJI stuff just immediately worked with iPhones over USB-C

@christianselig Not particularly helpful, but I was eyeing one of these to solve a similar problem: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D2LT7459?tag=marcoorg-20
I have a few-years-old FLIR wireless clip-on model — got wireless because I suspected a Lightning-to-USB-C transition was imminent — but the wirelessness makes it laggy and prone to dropouts so much that it sucks to use.

@marcoarment My issue with so many of these is that they have horrific watermarks and overlays baked into the video/photo files, so I'd watch out for that. I have a Topdon one that literally bakes the video timestamp into the center of the video file (aaahhhhh!!!). I grabbed an Infiray P2 Pro because it does a great job of turning these off in the actual resulting files (if you want), but yeah, Lightning only it seems. Not sure how Seek compares there

@christianselig @marcoarment Get an old Lightning phone?

@christianselig @marcoarment no overlays or bake-ins on our Seek app. You can turn off the watermark in settings, it’s a simple toggle

@yertle @marcoarment Interesting, even the temperature scale bar? Bigger issue for me personally is you folks seem to not sell to Canadians haha

@christianselig @marcoarment good question on the color bar, I left my cameras at work. Will check tomorrow! I just checked my gallery and every photo has the bar, so I’m guessing you can’t turn that off. Sorry, the Product folks make the calls 🤣
Not sure on Canada, but I thought it was in the country list when I ticked all boxes in App Store Connect. Will we not ship to Canada straight from thermal.com? There are lots of export control laws around thermal, but Canada is generally fine…

@yertle Ah yeah I'm just looking for a clean thermal feed without any overlays unfortunately, like this: https://mastodon.social/@christianselig/113663615833886429
For shipping, the Amazon link on your website just goes to the US page, and it's making me create a business account just to see if it ships to Canada so I’m probably just not gonna bother haha (plus that risks import duties)

@christianselig confirmed you can turn off the watermark and colorbar in Settings.
What about from our website, thermal.com?

@christianselig ah, just tried on our site and it says only US. Happy to ask around about options if you’re interested

@yertle Yeah I'm curious now haha!

@christianselig we sent some to a distributor in Canada, so I’m getting details. Not sure about the USB-C though, because we just recently got MFi approval on that (what a headache). I’ll let you know

@marcoarment @christianselig I literally worked on this camera. Go for it! It’s pretty solid. App is cross-platform, but it’s good enough for what you need

@christianselig “the USB-C model is Android only” - I’ve spent enough time looking at thermal imaging cameras to know exactly what one you’re talking about. 😂

@christianselig Does the one Apple sell work? They made a Lightning to C adapter that I use for CarPlay https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MUQX3AM/A/usb-c-to-lightning-adapter

@alpine I was thinking about that one, but it's the opposite of compact ;_;
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from christianselig@mastodon.social
@christianselig @alpine I can confirm the official Apple adapter works with the FLIR One Pro.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from aspaas@mstdn.science
@aspaas @alpine Tempting, but yeah, looking for something more compact I could just wrap a little 3D printed case around

@christianselig @alpine INNOVATION! 😁

@aspaas @alpine HUH. That's actually not bad lol, thank you! Hmmmmmm

@christianselig its the only one that I know works 100% of the time… sucks we don’t have better options.

@christianselig
If you want data to be recognized get and try apples adapter. Chances are good almost any other random generic cable adapter is going to be concerned with charging only and nothing more.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Chancerubbage@mastodon.social
@christianselig yeah, I can point you to one. I write firmware for these cameras, you could have just gotten ours! Only official usb-c MFI camera on the market 😁

@christianselig I have that device and that exact problem. When I upgraded my iPhone, I tried all sorts of different adapters, but not one of them worked. The thing is now useless.

@davidga You even tried the Apple one?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from christianselig@mastodon.social
@christianselig I guess I didn’t try the Apple one. But I’d be surprised if it worked. None of the others did.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from davidga@mastodon.xyz
@davidga Most adapters (as I've discovered) don't support data, just charging, while Apple's does support data, so it should work for your use case https://www.reddit.com/r/gadgets/comments/16jedaq/comment/k0pibid/

@christianselig I bought two that specifically did support data, including one that specifically claimed to support bidirectional data and it still didn’t work
