Watch out

  • TC001, TC001 Mini and TC001 Max share the TC001 prefix; check the suffix and supported platforms.

Why people pick it

  • 256 x 192 infrared sensor, the same resolution as TOPDON's higher-tier phone cameras, per the maker's page
  • Measures from -20 to 550 °C with ±2 °C / ±2% accuracy and 0.1 °C display resolution
  • Dot, line and plane measuring modes plus video recording and USB transfer
  • Runs from the phone's power at 5 V, so there is nothing to charge separately

Know before you buy

  • Android and Windows only; no iOS support (TOPDON lists iOS on TC001 Max, TC001 Mini and TC002C Duo instead)
  • No native display or built-in battery: it depends entirely on a compatible host device and its app
  • The phone must support OTG and have a working USB-C port; thick cases can block the connector
