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?

Are there any of the AliExpress models you'd recommend? I'm just looking for one to spot heat leaks in my house, but last time I browsed, they all looked too cheap to actually work.

if you live near a home depot you can rent one. if you're patient you can just use a normal digital thermometer and take a ton of readings. or see where the smoke from a match blows.
