Reviewing and Testing the Vanture T800 Compressed Air Duster

I was wondering how well it would work with a non-coated car. I figured it would work well, but just take a bit more time to clear the water. It’s a pretty powerful breeze maker!
 
That looks like an interesting phone/tablet attachment! The link for purchase is active in the US, and it’s way less expensive than a Flir camera. Curious that it wears a “Vantrue Power” badge - I suppose because it isn’t a dashcam? If you need any people to provide some feedback, @Jeff_Vantrue, I’d be happy to help!
Thanks for the interest! TS2 is actually part of our Vantrue Power lineup rather than the dashcam series. It’s a compact thermal camera attachment for phones/tablets/PC, mainly designed for things like electronics diagnostics, home inspection, automotive troubleshooting, etc.

Perhaps it is good for dashcam diagnostics to see how hot they are when operating?

I’m afraid it wouldn’t be very suitable for diagnosing dashcams. The TS2 only measures surface temperature, and dashcams will normally generate some heat during operation. However, this doesn’t necessarily indicate that there is any issue with the device.

Yes, I understand that dashcams can be warm or hot without there being a problem. If there is a suspected overheating issue with a device, a thermal camera may be able to help diagnose the situation, perhaps by comparison to an identical device with different settings or a different power supply for example.
 
Just a few notes about using the T800. After using it for just a few minutes on its highest setting, the batteries inside the handle get a bit warm. This isn't much of a surprise, the fan motor is pulling significant current out of the batteries, so it's natural that they'll get a bit warm (just a bit above body temperature - certainly nothing to be concerned about). It's always a good idea after using any battery powered device to allow the batteries to cool to room temperature before recharging them again. While charging, only the very bottom plate of the handle gets mildly warm. I presume this is where the DC-DC converter and charging circuits live.
 
How does it compare to the Wolfbox MF100?

It's much more powerful than the MF100.
