Acoustic imaging is a relatively new technology, and professional acoustic cameras can cost $10k and up. Fotric now offers one for less than 1/10th of that price, making it affordable for consumers and everyday users. You can find it at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GXKL2PXD?maas=maas_adg_22B7364A216F3369AB5B04B17B4F5EBE_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas

This is a fascinating way to "see" sound sources. I found it pretty useful for looking at engine noises as well as pinpointing leaking hoses in my shop and grill. It's also handy for spotting animals in thick brush or trees. I even discovered that my security cameras make an inaudible noise. Hidden ultrasonic sounds really stand out with this gadget!

In the video I had trouble charging with the USB port, and had to use the included battery dock. Fotric has updated me saying that the onboard USB needs a high-output charger and they recommend using the one included with the device, not a computer USB or 3rd-party USB charger.
