Yesterday I ordered the above thermal handheld viewer. My old damaged shoulders were starting to hurt for a couple days after a hunt from holding up my 10lb+ rifle to look thru the thermal sight.
This is the newer tech from Pulsar.
It is small enough and light enough to be carried in a bellows type pocket or worn around your neck. The below are some features/specs:
* Pulsar Axion XM30S Thermal Viewer
* 320 X 240 sensor . . . 1040 X 768 resolution
* 12 micron core
* 4.5X "native" power and up to 18X zoom
* 50hz refresh rate
* objective focus 3yds - infinity . . Eye piece (diopter) focus
* detection range -- 1420yds
* weight -- about 1 pound with battery (magnesium alloy housing)
* internal storage of 650 minute of video and 100,000 pictures ( vid rec has a sound option)
* stadiametric rangefinder (the,bracket the animal between two horizonal lines,type) ( pretty crude,but will be "close",depending on the size of the target)
* 8 color modes of target including white hot and black hot
* 5 different pallets (background colors)
* picture in picture. You can zoom in on a single target and leave the rest of the view wide.
* 4 hours per battery (AES3) . . Li-ion 3200 mAH . . I ordered 2 extra,one comes with unit. Comes with drop in charger for two batts. Extra 5000mAH battery packs available from Pulsar.
NOW - - -> will just carry my gun with the thermal off. Use the handheld viewer,which will give me longer range and a better view (resolution) than my thermal on my gun,then when a potential target is detected,and I move into range, can switch to my gun. ( Just like my hero,Bruce.) --- SAWMAN
