Some of the best gadgets I've paired with my phones are thermal cameras. I've tested every one you can imagine from standalone ones that run off Wi-Fi, to phones that integrate them, and even those that I can attach to my phone’s USB-C port. They all display heat signatures to better see potential dangers in my home and critters roaming around my backyard at night, but they all share a common thing: they’re notoriously expensive.
That’s why I’ve been trying out the Thermal Master P1 for the last month, which is the cheapest thermal camera I’ve ever tested. Similar to the Thermal Master P2, the P1 connects to my phone’s USB-C port and instantly gives me night vision to see in the dark — but it’s much more affordable.
