Thermal scope again.

Seems like a good one at a good price. No range finder but for the price seems like a good deal. Thoughts?

If you spend time thinking about it, it will be gone. That said, I don't a thing about the brand...

The big limiting factor there is the 384 sensor resolution. The 1024 display really doesn’t matter if the sensor can only provide it with a 384 pixel image. The 2.5-10x zoom range will probably be pretty ineffective with the low resolution. The higher the zoom, the worse the resolution and image quality get.

Not saying it won’t work. Just realize the limitation. After using a 640 resolution thermal, there’s no going back.

Here’s another option to consider. I don’t have any first hand experience with one. I’d probably already have one if I didn’t have other expensive things I have to take care of.

The 640 resolution model comes out to $2000 using a promo code. I won’t post the promo code so as not to give the impression I’m pushing a YouTube channel, even though I’m not affiliated. But if someone was to be interested, I’ll PM the code. Or just search the thermal name on YouTube and find the channel with the promo code. It’s a Texas based YouTuber……

I like the versatility idea. Can be used as a stand alone thermal scope or a clip on in front of a LPVO. And it can also be used as a hand held thermal scanner.
