Tire temps via IR camera

[Angus]

Has anyone tried the FLIR ONE (for iPhone 5) that was recently released to monitor tire temps?

New Tire Temperature Sensor product coming from Race Technology.

Appears to only be on the UK website so far (announced in an email today from the UK).

That looks like the Texense IRN-RC. They can make it 3-8 channels at different widths. Very cool sensor. http://www.texense.com/en/produits/w...rared_116.html

Any idea on the price range for the Texense system? Or is it a "if you have to ask you cannot afford it" product?

I think it's in the $2,000 area, but I'm not positive. They can do any distance between sensors and 3-8, so the pricing is pretty variable depending on what you need. I have a three spot setup now (inside, middle, outside) and that is plenty of data. You would need a really good tire engineer to make use of 8 spots. The setups that do a 16x4 array are even crazier!
