Accurate temp gun needed

[Radium_Angel]

You know the kind they point at VRMs and get temps of things?

I'm in need of one, but I"d like a recommendation for one that has some quality/accuracy built in.

Anyone have one and can vouch for it?

I've used contact thermocouples for a lot of stuff and those would really be best next best option would be an IR camera or module like the ones you get for phones as a more budget friendly option. For IR guns that aren't overly expensive I use a UNI-T 300S and it's been very reliable for the most part long as it's able to get a reading off a non-metallic surface. A good way to cheat is to apply some painters tape to the surface.
