The TC001 is a portable thermal camera that plugs into your phone. It's a great way to quickly check your house, appliances, electronics etc for unexpected hot or cold spots. It also has some interesting industrial and scientific features right in the Topdon app, including constant thermal monitoring and graphing.

I found the TC001 to be really convenient and easy to use. It needs very little setup beyond downloading the app, and the controls and settings are fairly intuitive. The only downside is the lack of a dedicated landscape mode. The camera also ships with a desktop adapter cable so you can use it with your computer. The Windows software is a little more basic and doesn't seem to have as many features as the Android app. It would still be handy for classroom or office use.

I used the Topdon imager to spot animals at night, to see heat and cold leaks from my household equipment, and of course to check out my cats in thermal vision! It's a really fun little device. It's also more portable, higher resolution, and more convenient than some of the larger handheld thermal cameras I've tried in the past. This would be perfect to bring camping and look for wildlife. It would also be ideal to put in your pocket and bring to a job site for monitoring building design, electrical systems, or science experiments.
