  • Pleasantly surprised!
Style: Scout TKx
I was not expecting this to work as well as it does! I had some experience with military FLIR equipment in the last so I know roughly how this stuff works and what kind of images you can expect; from multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars(at the time) vehicle mounted units. I was very happy to find this far less costly little hand held gives very sharp image quality in such a compact package. I was in my back yard being able to make out very small details in the terrain around me. So much so that I could easily navigate the forest behind my house in extreme dark during a moonless night away from any artificial light. It picked up small animals from what I would have thought to be impossible distances. It’s very sensitive, but not invincible. Looking out at the bug zapper on my porch the glass blocked being able to see it. Going out on the porch the zapper, lit alone with no other porch lighting, was like a lighthouse. Looking back thought the dining room window was a blank into a fairly well lit room. The glass simply washes out any heat signature inside or out depending on where you are. I have used all manner of NVGs and other night optics going back to the old school Starlight scopes and for the money this a better fit for farm use for me. Sure, the new PVS equipment is actually far better, but I don’t have that kind of money, especially seeing my purpose in this is to see if it’s the raccoon or the bear trying to get at my chickens or if some tweaker is lurking my barn. It would be awesome if I could get a hands free mount for this. ... show more

  • Don't expect too much and you'll be very happy
This monocular does everything the descriptions say it does and more. I didn't need this as much as I wanted it, but I am still very surprised by the capability of the device. Obviously(or at least it should be) ambient temperature affects the thermal view significantly. For instance, a tree that has been in a hot sun all day, will glow at sunset. On cool wet day, anything that has legs shows up and the brush/trees are a cool color. I have been able to locate and video deer at 125 yards through thin brush and rabbits at 50-80 yards. A rabbit at 50 yards, will display brightly, while a rabbit at 80 will be more of a softer white color, but still is clearly visible. I use this monocular every time I hunt. In the mornings, it is nice to see what, if anything is around you and in the evenings, it is nice to survey the landscape to make sure you aren't bumping animals out of the plots before you get out of your stand. I am not 100% sold on the battery capacity, but then, I tend to be very bad at charging things before I need them. Consequently, I always carry a backup battery charger for my phone and also use it to make sure this is charged and ready when I need it. If I lost this today, I would buy another one. It might not be the most important piece of gear in my bag, but it is definitely the coolest. ... show more

  • Be sure you know what to expect and not expect from it - it performs very nicely for its designed capabilities - almost 5-stars
I'm impressed. If you're not familiar with "night vision," be aware that this isn't like the majority of so-called night vision devices out there. First, there is no magnification. Second (and most important to understand), it is entirely passive - it does not operate on "reflected" infrared light, therefore it doesn't need an infrared illuminator. It displays heat differences FROM objects, and therefore can be used day or night. The first day I had it, I was able to clearly see a squirrel on an oak tree about 60 feet away. The tree was fairly dark grey, and the squirrel was a very distinct white (using the standard black/white scheme where white is warmer, and black is cooler). My own preference seems to be just this method of looking at things. The more color that is added in (there are multiple color schemes), the more confusing it seems to be if you want to pick out objects). Black/white (your preference which is cool vs. warm) seems to define the best. Also be aware that this will NOT "see" through glass - such as looking into a vehicle with the windows up, or out through a window. You must have unimpeded space between you and what you're viewing - not the fault of the device, just a function of the technology. My wife was skeptical (understatement!) that we "needed" this device, given the price. The first night turned that attitude around nicely. To be honest, we'd like to be able to "see" in the dark in the event of a power failure, particularly a longer term one. If undesirable folks are out at night with a long-term power outage, it would be nice to see without being seen - most IR night vision devices, particularly the less expensive ones, have a tell-tale dull red glow coming from the IR emitter. Therefore, someone else can spot you quite easily in the dark, due to the sudden red dot that is shining in their direction. But with this device, there's nothing for them to see. Short of them having their own night vision capability (unlikely with neighborhood "bad guys"), you can be standing straight up in the deep shadows and never be detected - yet they will stand out brilliantly. As a test, I had my wife watch me walk well out into the yard (at least 50 feet), and then crouch down behind some bushes. While she could slightly see the bushes, she said I was clearly visible, and if she hadn't known the bushes were there, she would not have known I'd gone behind anything (obviously the bushes have to have plenty of holes between branches or leaves, so the heat differential can be "seen" through the bushes). Just imagine wearing a glowing suit and someone is watching you through a monocular. As long as you're not behind a solid object, they'll be able to see the light coming through any bushes. It's the same with the heat signature this device "sees." The device frequently re-calibrates itself (you'll see it in the view finder), so it adjusts to whatever the relative temperatures are regardless of time of day or temperatures of objects. Obviously, when it's quite cold you'll be able to see warm bodies far easier, and if temperatures are quite warm in the evening (no sun to artificially heat things up more), a body may not show up as easily due to less difference in temperatures, but it's still highly useful. It will be surprising to see how much difference there is in temperatures the first few times you look through it - big trees are much cooler than the leaves. In fact, looking at leaves on a tree vs. the clear sky behind the leaves at night, the contrast is stunning - the leaves are quite bright white, whereas the sky is providing no real heat of its own, thus it's black. Finally, we have a bird feeder about 50 feet or so from the back of the house. The tiny sparrows don't show up during the day, but a few larger birds do show up, such as blue jays or woodpeckers. Obviously we can't check that out at night, but there probably wouldn't be much difference. And as for how much can be discerned, it is inherently fuzzy. A larger animal would definitely show up well within 100 feet, I'm sure, and be identifiable by shape. But smaller animals, even just 25-50 feet away, would be more problematic unless their shape was quite unique - the definition just isn't good enough to reliably do identification at that distance. And obviously, trying to identify facial features would not possible at any significant distance. It's even distorted due to color scheme presentation at a close distance (just a few feet). So if you want identify a prowler, forget it. But if you want to identify the fact that you HAVE a possible prowler, it'll do a nice job certainly out to at least 100 feet or so (the farthest I've tried it). And it is of at least some use for trying to navigate around objects, if that was the only way you could do it (i.e. you had no flashlight, or it was unwise to use one), but if the difference in temperature is limited between nearby objects, you won't see very well. This will be of limited use to us, but of potential significant value in very occasional circumstances (kind of like auto or homeowners insurance - you pay for it in case you need it and hope you never do). ... show more
