The infrared camera is such a clever idea!

u/Trump_Fan_6969 Feb 21 '25

I thought it was cool lol.

u/db720 Feb 21 '25

You have an IR camera on your phone? What phone is it, very neat

Edit nvm, saw your reply on another comment. External ir cam connected to iphone + app

u/DinoRaawr Feb 22 '25

I used to have a Cat S62 phone that had IR, laser distance measuring, and air quality sensors built in, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work with American cell towers. Idk what was up with that but I still want that phone back.

u/db720 Feb 22 '25

I had an everything -proof phone a few years back. Turns out it wasn't me-loosing-it proof

u/Superseaslug Feb 21 '25

Nah the earbud is actually warmer than its surroundings

286

u/SuperBug45 Feb 21 '25

why is no one asking how the fuck they took an infrared image on presumably a phone ?

217

u/Trump_Fan_6969 Feb 21 '25

I used an external infrared camera, I plugged it into my iPhone and took this image on its app.

u/MikeLeeGG Feb 21 '25

i wanted to get one to check for cold spots in the house. do you recommend the one you're using?

53

u/Trump_Fan_6969 Feb 21 '25

Sure bro, it's the Topdon TC002C. I’d say it’s an external camera, just plug it in and you can take images through its app.

35

u/Rooniebob Feb 21 '25

About $300 for those curious

Commenting for answers

u/mongoose6666 Feb 21 '25

Depending on model it could work for your needs. This looks like a Teledyne FLIR interface, presumably the One, One Pro, or One Edge.

2

u/Trump_Fan_6969 Feb 21 '25

Nah, pretty close but it's topdon, way cheaper than the one you mentioned lol.

1

u/creakymoss18990 Feb 21 '25

I have the flir, it works great but don't get the wireless ones, they are laggy as hell.

u/tractorcrusher Feb 21 '25

Is the camera made by Fluke?

1

u/mongoose6666 Feb 21 '25

Waiting for OP to respond, but it looks like Teledyne FLIR

1

u/Trump_Fan_6969 Feb 21 '25

It's Topdon TC002C.

10

u/theearcheR Feb 21 '25

Finally an easy one lol

10

u/gruven_reuven Feb 21 '25

all the way to the right, mid way up. In the indented crevasse

23

u/Flashy_Doughnut7204 Feb 21 '25

Why was that incredibly challenging

11

u/Budget_Writing2702 Feb 21 '25

Better question is why is the earbud so hot

17

u/dannyggwp Feb 21 '25

Electronics generate tons of waste heat. 64 degrees is comparably cool but definitely warmer than ambient in this circumstance.

5

u/vacwmlol Feb 21 '25

For me, it’s the subtle beauty of the image itself. I feel calm. K goodnight all. Hang in there. On a bench maybe.

4

u/Level-Ambassador-109 Feb 21 '25

The earphone is in the groove of the back of the bench. It is in the shade of the tree, on the right side of the picture.

3

u/lionsarered Feb 21 '25

So you switched your view to thermal heat imagining like in Predator

3

u/millieofthemed Feb 21 '25

I thought this was an extreme close up of the earphone until I released it’s a white plastic bench.

3

u/Buck_Thorn Feb 21 '25

Well, that was sure a different way of finding it!

2

u/havups28 Feb 21 '25

At least it wasn’t too hard to find

3

u/nova8273 Feb 21 '25

I swear I don’t know why they don’t make these things in another color, or a stripe or an apple logo something..,so easy to loose!

2

u/Agreeable_Use_8670 Feb 21 '25

That was purposely placed there

1

u/blueyesinasuit 111¤ Feb 21 '25

right side near centerline on back of bench.

u/shehoshlntbnmdbabalu Feb 21 '25

>! Up top right into curve at the right edge.!<

u/ryanmuller1089 Feb 21 '25

I was a plane once sitting in the window and as we were landing I took my airports out. I dropped one against the wall and clattered to the ground.

Well as we’re getting up I go down to look for it. It’s no where. I blast music and I can hear but can’t see it

Apparently some seats are made with a pipe that runs under the seats that are hallow and open on the end. My AirPod fell into the open end of the pipe and luckily didn’t go too far. It was only an inch wide or so.

Flight attendant had never seen that.

u/Pleasework94 16¤ Feb 21 '25

top section of the bench. All the way on the right a bit above the centre of the image

1

u/Fun_Chart4912 Feb 21 '25

3 o’clock

1

u/Time_Significance 87¤ Feb 21 '25

At the right edge, a little bit above the middle

I think I have that same model.

1

u/everything_is_stup1d Feb 21 '25

ohhh on the headrest(??) area

1

u/Designer_News103 Feb 21 '25

I found it without the infrared pic.

To the right of the pic in the middle section, check for the crevice behind the back rest.

1

u/Melloshot Feb 21 '25

Ok i completely read the caption wrong and was so confused by the comments being so chill. I thought it said something about a picture was airdropped to you of the park bench you left, as if a creepy person took a picture of the bench and the second pic was them being extra creepy cause the heat from where you were sitting was still there. I have no idea what i was thinking im just a tired mom lmfao.

1

u/ducklingboi Feb 21 '25

This was actually pretty easy for me. But when I drop it under the seat, suddenly it's nowhere to be found. 

1

u/Saphibella Feb 21 '25

right edge in the center, it is resting on the top part of the bench

1

u/Outside-End-5706 38¤ Feb 21 '25

>! Right side in the groove !<

1

u/Thor_Batman Feb 21 '25

It’s on the right in the curve like area almost 3 o’clock

1

u/Funky_Smurf Feb 21 '25

I couldn't even find it in infrared lol

1

u/endy_64 Feb 22 '25

that was probably the fastest I’ve found the answer

answer: look on the top

u/PrismaticSass Feb 22 '25

Bro has a pocket UAV 😂

u/PA694205 Feb 21 '25

No, you need a special camera for that. But there are small one which you can just plug into you phones charging port

2

u/TheAsianDudde Feb 21 '25

May I ask what to buy?

2

u/PA694205 Feb 21 '25

No clue I’m sorry. I just saw those cameras in videos sometimes but I don’t know more

2

u/TheAsianDudde Feb 21 '25

That’s alright thank you

1

u/mongoose6666 Feb 21 '25

Teledyne FLIR makes a couple of options. All under $1,000.
