If I get stuck I will keep it in mind tho. Thanks.

I will get off my ass when back home next and go have a look at some.

There is a 50 on tardme now but it is out of warranty.
@sneeze has one and promised to send it down for me to play with 2 months ago. I think some trail cam pics he has of me has put him off sending it for some reason��

When are you home next? Bout time you came up, that rattly old hilux might get you here.

Who can tell me the actual warranty period for the Yukon Pulsar devices? The Yukon Optics NZ site specifies 3 or 10 years, yet 1 year warranty seems to be the common conclusion from reading here.
Everything I have with a 1 year warranty, is pretty much stuffed after using it for 366 days, and at the price of these, they really are not throw away devices.

My range finder from Yukon has a three year warranty, I had a slight issue after two years and they replaced it straight away.
Great customer service

I have a 38 pulsar really good can see stuff over a 1k away once you get used to it can pick out all sorts of shit yukon has a 3 year warranty and are really good on that would buy a scope in low power like the 19 but dont make them monocular is the way to go as can find game then get close use torch etc to shoot them ment to be able to see where animals etc have injured themselves as area is hotter, cows cycling, and heat loss from house, power boards

Can you use it to see where pipes are located? I wonder if they would have the same depreciation as computer equipment?

havent tried on pipes depreciation plus gst back

Lots of good info here on what to look for. In laymen's terms.
Whats Important on a Thermal Camera

All I know is my mate is carving up the Rusa with one and I haven't been invited, so at this stage thermal is stink

I have played with one a bit, they also reveal you when there is nothing to shoot at in the vaste open spaces you are scanning.
Also as soon as morning sun shines up and warms up the inside of bush or forest, you get plenty of disturbing warm shadows all over the screen.
So much so that sometime you can't make the difference between a deer on a warming slip and it's back ground because the two are at the same temperature.
Water also shows like a warm spot even when super cold outside. So when you are looking down a creek , the warm spot you see through the foliage can be water only.
You can see all the little birds in the trees flying around .
The heat source can easily be blocked by a few dense leafy trees in the way and and you won't see a thing.

Between these and a very good pair of Swarovski or Leica binoculars, I would take the binoculars.

Have the Apex 38 sight love it the 38,50,75 refer to the end lens size ,bigger no more zoom power 38=1.5-3 x 50-2-4x 75 =4-6x Ithink from memory more power more $. Yukon have 3yr warranty and great customer srevice they replaced a digital unit that failed no problems

You guys need to try out for the SAS way if you need thermal imaging what about a well trained kuri?
