Here's a $120usd FLIR - how does it compare with a cheap plug in USB phone module?

Guess it's just missing a mounting case?

80x62 pixels, there are already other cheaper sensors in this range. FLIR is way more expensive but has much higher res.

I'm curious to see what the quality is like. If it's a similar case to the Enviro hat, and gives good reliable results for less, fantastic.
If it's like the other cheapie thermal sensors on alibaba, less so.
