    Cheap thermals

    Anyone used one from temu or the likes.
    Just looking for something to spot possums with up close. Not interested at seeing deer at 1000m

    I have one of these. Excellent value for money. Will actually spot deer at 1000m haha. Works great for picking up possums, will see them a couple hundred meters away. Excellent option now that thermals are legal on public land as they take up no room in a pack, and I am generally carrying my phone anyway. Also comes with a rail mounting system so you can mount the phone and camera to the rifle to use it as a thermal scope. Ive not tried this yet but would be a good laugh (not on DOC land obviously). Phone screen has the advantage of its very easy to point out to your mate where a hot spot is compared to a monocular.

    Being an NZ retailer at least you know they stand behind the product and there are options to sort out replacement if it fails etc. There are similar looking ones on temu etc but most likely just knockoff copies so no idea how they would work.

    Would have to agree. Had a good nosy at them at the Rotorua Hunting and outdoor expo a couple of months ago. For a thermal that someone wanted 'just for shits and giggles' its a high quality bit of kit that's use and compactness goes way beyond what you pay for it.
