Thermal imaging

I was looking at the ATN OTS XLT 160.

Any others I should consider?

I know the resolution isn't great, but I'm only needing it for around the property. 100 yards or so. $600 is about what I would like to spend but could go a bit more for something vastly better. I heard something breaking branches last night in the woods and I was mad I had no way to see what it was. Whatever it was, it wasn't very sneaky!

I've been wanting it for some time and now I'm getting it.

Just a moncular, not a scope. Mounting it to a pic rail in front of an optic would be a bonus, but not necessary.

It didn‘t get the greatest of reviews. My buddy has this one and likes it.

Thats what they compare that ATN model to. But the Flir gets lower reviews.

It will cost much more, but something cooled is best. It’s a real rabbit whole. Clip-ons are a good option for what you suggested above.

I think this is the one I have. I've never messed with it. Maybe I'll have to check it out this weekend.

Give a review when you do.

Buddy got this one and let me try it for a little bit. So far so good.

I'm liking this one better. 256 resolution vs the 160 of the ATN. For just around $100-150 more. May be worth it. But the ATN has a base magnification of 2. So by the time you zoom the 256 x2 you would lose that clarity.

The refresh rate is better on the ATN. 25 vs 50hz

Clarity or smoothness of scanning. Both sacrifice something for the price point.

I only got it for recovering deer. Same with the drone. So quality and clarity were not a concern. I think I paid around $200 for the unit used. I just wanted to be able to check deer beds and scan a little while tracking wounded deer.
