It has been well over 10 years since SATIR released the SATIR S160 thermal imager. This pistol style thermal imager made big waves at the time against rival FLIR, and was an instant hit with the new genre of pistol grip style thermal cameras. It provided a level of value and innovation that really connected with users. Year after year this model was re-invented with different names and specifications, each a refinement on the previous design. Fast forward 13 years and the HOTFIND S is the latest incarnation in this long line of industry proven thermal imagers.
