When choosing a thermal camera, it’s easy to focus on resolution, temperature range and sensitivity — but what about the lens?

From wide-angle lenses for working in confined areas to different fields of view for targets further away, the right optics can make a huge difference to how useful your camera is on the job.

Jason Cargill from Teledyne FLIR explains why interchangeable lens options are worth considering when choosing a premium thermal imaging camera.

What matters most in your work: wider field of view or being able to inspect from further away?

Do you know where your test equipment actually goes when you send it away for calibration or servicing?

Being able to drop an instrument off locally can make the process feel straightforward, but there can be much more happening behind the scenes. In this clip, Test Meter MD Lasse Tonnesen, Business Development Manager Chris Fox and Head of Marketing Mike McCarthy discuss why it’s worth understanding who will be working on your equipment, where it will be serviced, what accreditation is involved and what that could mean for turnaround time.

The clip comes from Episode 8 – “The Forgotten Costs Of Ownership In Test Equipment” of the Talks with Test Meter Podcast, which explores some of the less obvious costs and considerations involved in owning professional test equipment.
