Suggest a decent thermometer for leaf surface temp readings

I did a search and didn't find anything terribly current or comprehensive, so let's see what people think.

Looking for a decent IR/laser thermometer for checking leaf surface temperature (and other grow related stuff). So grow and gear-head people, what do you like for an accurate, reliable, decent point-and-shoot thermometer mainly for LST?

I have seen some back-and-forth about the sensors on some of them reading an area that's too wide for accurate leaf readings, etc. so points for guys who have experience to back up recommendations.

As always, thank you for your help.

I use the laser one from crappy tire. It’s on for 29.99 this week.

Inkbird also has a couple that they give discounts every once in a while.

I was wondering if that was the go-to one. And I'm comfortable with them in terms of making decent stuff (I have the ubiquitous humidity controller).

Anyone have an idea if springing for the extra $$$ for something like the Fluke is worth it? The Inkbird is in the 20-30$ range but the Fluke 62 is 105$, which is in budget but if it's not giving me more accurate info or adjustability it might be a just throwing away cash.

That I'm unsure of. I know the inkbird seems to be pretty spot on
