Flir E60/E60bx, E50/50bx, E40/E40bx Review

What’s to like:

Great Built Quality
Great design, slim and ergonomic
Temp range up to 650°C standard
Excellent user interface

What’s not to like:

Level and span adjustment is awkward
Visual and Thermal Image save as separate files
Onscreen colour/palettes not very bright or intense
Need to pay for good software

Otherwise know as FLIR’s Exx Series, these are an impressive piece of kit. For those of you who have read my Flir E30 review you will know I am very fond of this platform. Unfortunately the E30 and E30BX has recently been discontinued, so now the entry level model variant is the FLIR E40 (160×120), followed by the Flir E50 (240×180) and the top of the line model is the Flir E60 (320×240). The primary difference between all these models is the detector performance which I have noted in parenthesis (), each improving in resolution and sensitivity as you move up the range. With the E30 gone from the lineup it’s certainly much harder to determine the “value point” in the range.
