Thread: FLIR Thermal Vision Gear

Thought I'd show everyone a new toy I have coming - these were talked about a few months ago

FLIR Scout PS Series - Thermal Vision

Detection range of a man sized object is 315m to 450m for the PS series - other models will do up to 2.5k's!!

I have the PS32 model myself - I also demo this unit as well

They start at $3499 - could do a bulk deal too




More info - see
FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras and Night Vision

Anyone wanting a demo - let me know

Wow! Want. How much for the 2.5k model? That's a poachers dream right there. Can it be attached to a gun and used like a scope?

Heh could also be a poachers nightmare,

or a poachers nightmare - try hiding from that -

The TS-32r is 9699 - 1,450m
for the Bi-oculars BTS - XR - $15,998 - 2,450m - this one has different lens - the 100mm model is the long range - also a 35mm and 65mm - the 65mm is $11,998 - and 1,900m

They aren't mountable to a gun though

I'd be keen on PS32 demo if your ever in Hamilton ...

What is the refresh rate there FG?

here are some spec's

System
Focal Length 19 mm
Field of View (H × W) 24° × 18°
Waveband 7.5 - 13.5 μm
Start-up from Stand-by <5 seconds
Focus Automatic
Diopter Adjustment +2
Image 9 Hz Refresh Rate

I'll video some images from mine

I had a play with one when was in the US. 30hz version IIRC.
It was good, however I couldn't/wouldn't buy a lower refresh one.
Same with NV. Once you've had a play with good Gen 3 stuff the rest is just urrggg

Certainly a difference from $3,500 to 12,000 + models; comes to what is practical for your usage

If wondering try one; i'm collecting names for a demo

Found this on you tube, not sure of the models

Keen for demo

Great bits of kit and I would like to have one.
But I reckon hunting is just turning into a huge techno game these days. Electronic callers, LR shooting, thermal and NV, trail cameras, feeders, and GPS.
Poor friggin animals have no chance. One of my all time pet hates, is a game caller, of any sort.

If ya cant roar, squeak or mew, IMO, you aint a hunters asshole. If ya cant blow a caller you are not a bird hunter either.

Cattle on a hill, about 800m away - Black is hot is this mode



Around the house,

Nice .. what model is that Faregame?

Had a TIG-7 60hz Set of Thermal goggles here a while ago and have to say wasn`t impressed with thermal over Night vision and hand held would be an inconveniance.Set was for Coastguard and over $15K, Great for their situation but for hunting Id pass it over.
If you look at the pictures carfuly you will see the animals still have to be clearly seen to be Identified. How many of you thought the first picture was of Pigs and not Cattle until you read the caption.
The 2 guys I know who bought Thermal for hunting got rid of it pretty quick and replaced it with Night Vision Goggles.
Just my 2 cents worth but I am pretty experianced with this sort of equipment.
