Guys, these are fun toys bit practically speaking won't be at all useful while hunting unless it's totally dark and your pray is within 10 feet of you in an open lawn with neatly cut grass. Trees and tall grass masks body heat on these units. Anyone who doesn't want to be disappointed hold on to our cash.
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
60 meter range! Grass won't conceal a heat source, would be pretty evident. We've done testing and body heat could be seen through evergreen trees.
My biggest problem with the model showcased here is the slow refresh rate of 9hz (which makes the image quite choppy and laggy) and the narrow field of view at 25 degrees. I am assuming that this is the 2x magnification version.
The 1x magnification version that is 30hz and 50 degree field of view seems far superior for me, seeing as 2x magnification with a 60m effective range seems moot...
Are you looking to bring in their other models?
All 30 hz models are restricted from USA export due to ITAR. That being said the 9hz models aren't slow and choppy at all, they are quite functional.
Most weapon mounted thermals are around 25 degrees, it's not narrow really for weapon sights, the FOV on an ACOG is only 7 degrees for example.
