On the manufacturers website it shows an optional weapon mount...
Price is steep for that.
The T12-N does not come with a weapon rail mount, only a hand held mount. I'm not even sure if it's compatible with a weapon rail mount.
It does not come with a rail mount.
Does this actually function as a weapon sight? Where there is a reticle that has wind age/elevation adjustments and can be co-witnessed with other optics as pictured? It looks different in every photo? April fool's... lol?
Yes, has 4 different reticles. They are adjustable for windage and elev7ation. The chevron is our favourite.
Just some thermal facts here fellas:
Because you're seeing radiation, not light, these devices cannot "cowitness" behind any glass optic. You can certainly mount in front, as long as you're comfortable magnifying in on what is essentially a tiny TV screen.
These devices will not work with an IR laser. IR lasers are meant to worth with image intensified night vision (the green stuff) not thermal imaging.
When we talk about detection range, remember there's a big difference between "that is a heat source" and "that is a coyote." An experienced user can pick out hot spots for further investigation through the primary optic.
The 45 offset pictured in the original post is a solid setup for these little guys.
Now the cool stuff: thermal can also see through dust, fog, and most kinds of smoke and camouflage.
For under $1000 these things are miles beyond what you could get in the past 10 years. Especially with the reticle and zeroing software that other manufacturers are so hesitant to export. But 200 yards would be pushing it, unless your heat source is something exceptionally large...like a tank?
I sent in a deposit for one but found out there only good out to 30 yards so it's not going to work for me to bad ther not a 100 yard sight
No. On the maker's website says up to 60 meters
Wrong. It comes with a picatinny rail mount
