Thread: Sytong Thermal Monocular Comparisons

A 50mm lens will have better resolution than a handhelds smaller lens. You’d need to get a spotter with a bigger lens to match the image in the scope but the trade off would be a narrower field of view and a higher magnification potentially making spotting more difficult.

Took it out around the house last night, but not much wildlife to see in the city unfortunately

Cheers for the pic, looks like decent clarity

Do you think the am03-35 would be better than a handheld just thinking if get one and use it as a handheld it will help me to get used to my 50

New to thermals I know nothing about the, have a couple of questions.

Do these range finder have true ballistic ranging or are they just line of sight, and do these units have a non thermal mode, like if it’s sunny out can I still use it as a rangefinder, if I’m looking at a sun baked hill and want to range a certain shrub would I be able to pick it out?

They are line of sight range finding. They are thermal only. The LRF works regardless if its sunny or not. I've tested it out to over 1km during daytime. No problem range finding a shrub on a hill.

Does the 640 model 35mm wifi to yr phone thru a sytong app?so you can watch and control the monocular on yr phone screen while its on a try pod out side.

Yes you can view though the wifi but not control it. It shows the range finder reading too.
We do have car mounted remote control tripods incoming too.

Thanks for yr time answering 55six.

I'm looking at two options.... Pard TA32-25 vs Sytong XS03-25LRF
Not that i really know what i'm looking but for they appear to be the same spec?

What ever brand you get make sure it has a rangefinder

Yep - both have a rangefinder, all the techy numbers look the same except the price.

Anyone had any experience with either of these two units?

Ive just bought the pard you are talking about, had it out a couple of weekends ago and was impressed, spotted 4 Sika stags in a mob 1km away in the Kaimanawa tussock country at 8.30am took a full 10min to find them in the binos and i knew exactly where to look.
Flick me a message if you want to have a look at it. I live just on the outskirts of palmy/hiwinui

Yea I run pard units for work, i rate them and have had zero issues with them

Haven’t used Pard but bought one of the sytongs. Really impressed. On the weekend I was watching deer that were impossible to see in the binos (could tell they were deer as the black blobs were moving). In black hot mode. 400yards away. Others 900y away
Earlier the same morning could see 4 others clearly as white heads and necks moving through matagouri, in red hot mode. Over 600y away

The Sytong has a better sensor with a lower NETD, and a longer LRF distance rating.
