The HIKMICRO EXPLORER E20 Clip-In Thermal Imager is a radically small, versatile, and powerful device. It slots straight into any Android phone or tablet that has a USB Type C socket and transforms the way the user can see the world and at the very low price of 329.99.

Weighing in at just 26 grams and measuring under 27mm in each dimension, the EXPLORER requires no batteries, drawing only minimal power from the smartphone or tablet. It can be carried easily, ready for near-instant use for spotting birds, animals, people (or indeed any other heat source) in any lighting conditions, including full darkness.
