Just received a nice little 12v digital thermometer (china man) that I've mounted alongside the controls of my shooting rig/platform.
The screen can be alternated between red and blue,, but the red suits me fine.
It is actually intended for in car use,, with an extra sensor for "outside" ambient temps.
I thought that it would be a giggle to be able to just glance down occasionally during the nights and see what the temp is.
Being a chinese import, I didn't expect too much of it, but it surprised me.
# The 12/24 hr clock keeps accurate time.
# I can turn the screen light on or off at will.
# It has an alarm and reminder (not that I'll need that)
# The temp readings also seem to be fairly accurate.
Being mounted in a recessed area it surprisingly shows the difference between the inner temp and the exterior temp readings
ie: it reads the temp in the recessed pocket,,, and the temp from the external sensor which is in the open air.
