    At night vision nz we have some very affordable new gear coming that will blow the market wide open on thermals.
    We have a booth at field days too if you want hands on.
    That sounds very interesting- any specifics that can be shared. Drop me a PM if that works,

    The scopes are Sytongs new PM03 in 35mm and 50mm. They have the same sensor as the more expnsive models - 384x288, 12 micron, sub 25 NETD. Thats pretty much where the better thermals are speced on todays market but these are much more affordable being $2599 and $2999 respectively. A HIK Micro Thunder TH25 is 17 Micron sub 35mk NETD, lower specs and $1000 more.

    We also have something for the tinkerers coming, build yourself a thermal that can be used on a gun, software development kit etc for around $700.
