Dropped $150 on a thermal camera for my phone, found a hot capacitor in seconds

It paid for itself on the first repair, a TV power board that had me stumped for an hour. Anyone have a cheaper tool that works just as well for finding heat spots?

What brand did you get?

A hundred and fifty bucks for a phone camera? That's a serious chunk of change for a single tool. I would have just kept poking at that board with my multimeter forever.
