Just wondering if anyone has had any experience of this thermal scope? Looks impressive for the money and I know the brand makes cheap nv gear but the specs on this thing looks pretty good if it can live up to them. I don’t think it’s available over here or if it even will be but quite like the look of this.

Looks very nice going by the sales pitch...proof of course will be in real time usage in the field,and price etc.
 
Seen slot on YouTube mainly across the pond but there's a couple of lads in the UK with them also.

However same old "free for the purpose of review" etc and with no representation or distribution in the UK your left with the decision of do I risk my hard earned?

Sub £1500 640 with lrf and balistic wizardry or not no dealers or representative your on your own so for me unfortunately it's a pass.

Shame really because a decent importer and UK stock they would do very very well with this, from what I've seen it's a decent scope, that said not sure what the after sales and warranty and test of time is like 🤔 pretty sure one leaf made ecigs too at one point 🤣

Thats all I could find....tbh I wasn't impressed with the clarity on the recordings but then again it may be better when viewing with the old mince pies.

Yh the recorded image is definitely different to what you see through the view finder, agree it's not pulsar or hik 640 quality but for the money I think its definitely acceptable it's comparable to the pixfa image imo
 
I have one of these coming my way so will be able to report back how it performs in the field.

The spec is impressive for the price point there being sold at, a lot of bang for your buck as they say.

I will throw it on my .17HMR and see how it fares out to 150+ yrds before putting it on the .223 to see if its upto foxing duites.

Can’t wait to see it on mate.

Me to mate its certainly something that could open up thermal to more peoples budgets, I've got both the 34mm and 50mm lense coming with it.

Hopefully it will be here by the back end of the week🤞

That’s good mate as that’s the option I was looking at when we were chatting about this. On paper it looks to be very good specs for the price.

There is a 70mm lense due to come out very shortly.

Cant think of anything that offers the same specs for the price
 
I've got one here now. It's damn impressive for the money.

Its not over intuitive on the controls and took a little while to get used to the dual function buttons but after an hour or so it was fine.

It's quite peculiar when compared to some of the older pulsar stuff I've used. Its far easier to notice if for instance there's a bit of mesh fence between you and the heat source. I notice a lot more of the fine details that matter with this.

It needs a coaster on the zoom ring for sure..

The heat detection range is also way better than anything I've seen previous.
I was watching some mice on the bird feeders the other evening and could for a short while see where they were standing (heat transfer or could have been where they peed 😆)

I've not had it on a rifle yet just using it as a spotter as we want to go and find some owls next week but it's noticeable that it's going to be plenty useable in the heat/daytime

That's really reassuring to hear!
I've seen heat transfer before when @Drake267 had a 35mm gryphon LRF we could see where the rabbits had used the toilet 🤣 that was a good bit of kit, will have a check to see what sensor was in that so I have some idea what to expect.

How do you think it would cope at centerfire ranges if out foxing at night?
