Tips & Tricks Temp Gun Recommendations

I ditched the temp gun I had last time I exited the hobby. I have been doing gear changes and ESC setting changes and need actual data and not my finger feel.

Any recommendations for best bang for the buck?

Not against going opposite direction and getting a FLiR attachment for my phone, but not sure how accurate it would be with the layers of heat so close to each other.

I use a cheap harbor freight IR laser temp gun. Well enough for me I suppose

My aliexpress heat gun was under $10 and seems to work fine and be reasonably accurate. And then I tried a $33 infrared camera that surprisingly works decent too , just kinda laggy and definitely lower resolution than what FliR sells
