    FLIR 12 MICRON THERMOSIGHT PRO

    Thermal Imaging Monocular FLIR Thermosight Pro PTS533 4-16x50 (30 Hz) AND Thermal Imaging Monocular FLIR Thermosight Pro PTS733 6-24x75 (30 Hz) The 733 looks almost identical to my Zeus 640 HD lens 75mm

    Thermal on a budget... looking for some experienced advice

    I'll tell you what, I've looked through most offerings except Trijicon which I have coming next week. For your budget I would add $2000 and then I would go with a Puslar XP50 from OpticsPlanet using their 10% 'hurry' code for the next few days. $4500 and you're gonna be very happy.

    ATN 'detection' range

    I find this insulting. ATN claims their ATN THOR HD 1x scope can 'detect' out to 600m. This claim's fineprint is that at 600m you get 1 pixel per 1m of height. So, to detect a person at 600m, which ATN says this scope will do, you would have to notice 2 pixels out of 640x480 (307200 pixels)...

    Thermal on a budget... looking for some experienced advice

    With the excellent rebates going on through December 31st you can get a nice ATN scope for the price range. Will it work flawlessly? Some would say it may not but perhaps it will be fine as others seem to have no issues. Can't beat them on price with those rebates right now.

    Trijicon IR Hunter Mark III DVR recorder?

    Well, I guess no one knows but I've come to realize that what UNV sells as their DVR is the exact same thing Armasight sells so apparently I just need a cord to go with the IR Hunter. I was wondering because I have the Armasight DVR already and was hoping it would work well with the IR Hunter...

    Armasight Zeus 640 2-16x50 (30Hz) or Pulsar Sight Trail XP50?

    I can now answer this myself: Easily the Trail Sight XP50. The image quality in detail is nearly identical which says a lot for the Pulsar given it's less magnification and then the Pulsar comes with so much more on board in functionality as opposed to the Zeus 640 75. Furthermore the...

    Choosing a night vision scope

    Okay, good info. Also, I didn't mean 'excessively' in a negative way as in you do it too much, I really meant it as more than the scope thinks it needs it. Anyway, the shutter noise during the auto NUC is fine for me as I am planning on shooting only from afar 50 yards minimum and probably...

    Choosing a night vision scope

    When you say the Trijicon scopes are known for not having good video, do you mean externally captured video just doesn't represent well how good the image is in the eyepiece? I've heard that. I've also heard the Armasight gives you are 'pretty good' video compared to what you actually see and...

    Choosing a night vision scope

    Thanks for the tips. And, yes, I am adjusting contrast/brightness/gain etc. when I do my comparisons. That certainly can improve an image I have found, but I still stand by what I stated in how I found the image quality to be. One thing I didn't mention in my post is the FLIR buyout of...

    Choosing a night vision scope

    It sounds like from the majority of people talking that ATN scopes are not thought to be of the quality level of Armasight, Pulsar, and Trijicon but I do not know this to be true. I think Trijicon and Armasight may be regarded as the highest quality (built very tough). It seems like there are...

    Trijicon IR Hunter Mark III DVR recorder?

    I know UNV sells one that is compatible with everything, but I was wondering if an Armasight DVR will work with the IR Hunter? Are there any other options? Thanks.

    IR hunter vs Pulsar XP50

    Also, is the new 640 boson FLIR design going to be better than the IR Hunter Mark 3 or are we expecting it to match it? I guess the new FLIR will still have some other features (on board video, auto NUC) even if it is just a match for image quality. Does anybody have any idea on pricing for...

    IR hunter vs Pulsar XP50

    Is the IR Hunter Mark 3 60mm as shutter NUC? Is it auto like Zeus? Thanks.

    Quality of Image

    What 640 thermal scopes have 5x mag? I see the IR Hunter Mark3 60mm has 4.5 but man is it pricey. ATN, which I know you don't care for, has the Thor 640 HD 5x 100mm but I doubt it is really 5x based upon the FoV they give for that scope. Zeus 640 Pro 100mm says 4x but is really 3.5x if you...

    So when are these new 12 micron with internal recording Armasights going to show up?

    MK3 or REAP IR?

    I am considering an MK III 60mm. It sounds like with the 12 micron, 640 x 480 resolution imager, they are ahead of the game in pristine views (details). I think I read that the next Armasights to come out will have a 12 micron imager and, I assume, the same 640 x 512 pixel array they are using...

    Armasight Zeus 640 2-16x50 (30Hz) or Pulsar Sight Trail XP50?

    What about a choice between the Trail Sight XP50 and the Zeus 640 3-24x 75mm (30Hz)? Price wise these are about the same right now.
