The Thermal Master Thor Expert is a handy, standalone thermal camera built for heavy-duty tasks like inspecting home wiring, checking HVAC units and finding hidden leaks. It features a bright 3.5-inch screen, runs smoothly and lets you spot temperature changes easily across a wide range. You don’t need to connect it to a phone to use it, providing a tough, all-in-one tool ready for the job site.

Thermal Master makes two versions of this camera, depending on your needs. The Thor 001 is built for detailed, close-up work — you can add a special magnifying lens to spot tiny heat leaks and inspect small circuit boards. The Thor 002 is an everyday workhorse for general maintenance tasks, such as checking walls, wiring and heavy machinery.

If you prefer a smaller device that plugs into your phone, check out the Thermal Master P3. It uses your phone as the screen, so it fits in your pocket and works great in tight spaces or for quick electronic fixes without the extra weight.
