The $38 thermal camera attachment that found my cold air leak in one afternoon

I bolted that little FLIR unit onto my phone last weekend and walked the whole main floor, it immediately showed the cold draft coming through the outlet boxes on the exterior wall, has anyone else found hidden leaks with one of these or am I just late to the party?

@spencer_coleman found three leaks in ten minutes with mine. Hand test misses half of em.

Honestly you just spent 38 bucks to find a draft you probably already felt with your hand. Call me old school but a wet finger and a little patience does the same job for free. Now you gotta charge the thing and mess with an app every time you want to check a window.
