Choosing a thermal camera

Hi guys. I’d like to apologize right away if this question is not really appropriate for this forum, but hopefully ifixit community will help me out here as well because I don’t really know a better place to ask. As a rapidly learning fixxer I came to a point when I guess I could benefit from purchasing a thermal camera. I narrowed the choice down to two models: Uni-T Uti260B VS Topdon TC004. I mostly work with small SMD components. Which one would you recommend and why?

Went with a Uni-T because of the ability to use a macro lens with it. Ordered both the lens and a camera. Already got a camera and it's ok, but the software is bad. Like really bad. And there is no way to update a camera firmware. Software doesn't provide that function and there is nowhere to get firmware binary file. I've read that someone had to ask Banggood to send it. Then the process seems straightforward - just put a bin file onto a uSD card and it'll update. But for some reason you can't get the firmware virtually anywhere, which is sad - I got a standalone camera from a longevity standpoint. Otherwise I'd go with a smartphone version.
