here’s one popular iphone model: Seek Thermal Compact Imager for iOS-Apple https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NYWABAA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_H-R7Bb4WQW4XH
Yea well Amazon pricing fluctuates, so retail vs sale is a tough metric. The $150-160 price was the big sale, but they frequently drop below the $200 mark. Regardless my point was price of these thermal things is getting quite low compared to where they were 2-3 years ago. Went from a 500-600 dollar investment to try to justify down into the "cool toy" range.

wouldn't be hard to bullshit into existence, either. seek thermal made a smartphone infrared camera attachment that is, relative to most other thermal imagers, dirt cheap. wouldn't be hard to mount that onto goggles, get some redneck thermal imaging headsets going.
I am just a homeowner but bought a seek thermal attachment for my iPhone - it was $218. If i were a pro and the ROI was there I would definitely be looking at a FlIR, but if your use case fits within the performance envelope (or for other non pro subs like me) , I have found for the price, it to be very useful in finding hot water lines in my walls, insulation gaps, air leaks, etc.

Ah, I see what the issue is, I looked and mine is actually another brand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NYWABAA/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_BJWBCbXC2J4SF
Sorry for mis-statement
Like I said, when I bought mine, the handhelds were really expensive, like $500-1,000 and I think this was on sale for <$150. It did not have good battery life with my (rather old and failing phone, which had loads of battery issues so it was hard to tell what was at fault) BUT, on the other hand, even as a bee remover, I found that you only needed it for a minute tops, you snap a few pics, send to customer and that is all you need. I hear you on the port type. If I was buying again, I might do the handheld, but on the other hand my mentor had a lot of trouble with his very expensive handheld having problems later in its life, so maybe it is six of one half a dozen of the other. That reminds me, I have to check and see if my new phone is gonna work with the old heat camera! Swarm season is starting...
