We will see.... Guys at ******************* set me up with an IR Hunter MKII... The took me out last night and we demo'd it.... I was pretty impressed, I like the controls and image was excellent. I've gotta get this armasight figured out and see how well it runs...

Good news on the IR_Hunter, now we can get (neutral) side by side comparison data!!!
By the looks of that you could go into the hog killin bidness!! BANG BANG!!

Did u have to manually nuc the ir-hunter? And was the nuc 2 layers down in the menu? I've been trying to figure that out from other people's descriptions ...

Nice to see dax. The standard Zeus, Apollo etc are one line, the pro is another line, both use the same core per specific resolutions, etc . Both still sold and will be be available. One is not to replace the other one.
Those interested in an Armasight thermal weapon sight and what is available can go here

There are other sections for monocular, clip-ons etc

On the IR HUNTER you scroll down to position 3 then rotate top turret... It's a lil awkward at first but in one night I had it down....had a reboot after a shot last week... We found that the DVR cable was set up wrong and caused the reboot... No problems with scope at all. I'll compare them tonight... Rainy and humid...see how they perform. I can say this, I would buy an IR HUNTER. There will be video in a few days. At 4am the humidity kicked up and I lost some detail in the background.. But armadillos at 250 yds were easily seen. I'll post more after I get some time with pro line stuff..

So, I'm probably not in the market for an IR-Hunter, since I already have an Apollo, but I am in the market for a q-14 or ir-patrol and I understand both are manual nuc. Per my understanding, the q-14, is a button push coupled with covering the objective, so 2 handed process. So curious what the ir-patrol is, but it might be different from the ir-hunter, though I doubt it.
Thanks for all the data!!
So of the 62 pounds you got an apollo pro 50mm 640 (60hz) and a q-14 640 (30hz) is that right? That sounds like a great combo!!! But I don't see how it is 62 pounds !

My "dream" is to be able to use the q-14 or ir-patrol while in motion and hence as hands free as possible ... helmet mounted.
So, if it takes two hands to nuc ... my dream will be disturbed!!!
And if it takes two hands and thinking about scrolling through menus and pushing buttons and second hand covering objective ... then the buggy I'm driving (with the glass off) will be starved of attention!

cores the same ... but housings different and software interface layers (outside core) different, so opportunity for difference in the way they work from user perspective. But it is in their interest to make them as similar as possible to avoid forks in the code (I do software in my day job ).

Right now my Apollo (standard) is auto-nuc ... and I have started thinking about when it nucs and why ... so I can prepare myself to manually nuc. I do a lot of "360s" ... meaning I am in one spot and I want to scan 360 degrees to see if any new critter has showed up. I am amazed at the number of times critters show up in the area I just passed through. They were waiting for me to go by and then emerged to cross the pasture! And it is rare for me to do a full slow 360 without the device doing an auto nuc ... because in some areas there is dark tree lines and in other areas bright light reflecting off a pond ... so at least one nuc per scan is not unusual in my experience.
