Alright, from pandemic to social unrest. Options, options, money money. You want night vision capability but you don't want/can't shell out the 3-7k? Plus that device can be used by only one person, so unless you have enough cash to buy night vision goggles for everyone in the family, at least those that can be of assistance if needed... If you're in this conundrum, I'll tell you what I did. I got some night vision binoculars (around $300), a night vision scope (around $700) and thermal imaging (this Flir). For a fraction of the price I have 3 devices that can be used separately, either by one person or by 2-3 people working as a team. Now regarding this particular product: works well, day and night, really light and small, plenty of color palette to ensure thermal acquisition in different environments. Overall, this a relatively inexpensive when you consider the technology. IF you're looking at this specifically for the reasons I mentioned at the beginning of the review and of you have enough ammo, food, water...AND you want to be able to have the capacity to identify if something is out there...AND you're not going to break the bank by purchasing it... Yes!, go ahead and have it. If not, focus on the above. ... show more

Great for the price. Works very well. I bought a "Hiluckey Solar Charger 25000mAh, Outdoor USB C Portable Power Bank" on Amazon to maximize the use of the scope.

  • Be sure you know what to expect and not expect from it - it performs very nicely for its designed capabilities - almost 5-stars
Style: Scout TK
I'm impressed. If you're not familiar with "night vision," be aware that this isn't like the majority of so-called night vision devices out there. First, there is no magnification. Second (and most important to understand), it is entirely passive - it does not operate on "reflected" infrared light, therefore it doesn't need an infrared illuminator. It displays heat differences FROM objects, and therefore can be used day or night. The first day I had it, I was able to clearly see a squirrel on an oak tree about 60 feet away. The tree was fairly dark grey, and the squirrel was a very distinct white (using the standard black/white scheme where white is warmer, and black is cooler). My own preference seems to be just this method of looking at things. The more color that is added in (there are multiple color schemes), the more confusing it seems to be if you want to pick out objects). Black/white (your preference which is cool vs. warm) seems to define the best. Also be aware that this will NOT "see" through glass - such as looking into a vehicle with the windows up, or out through a window. You must have unimpeded space between you and what you're viewing - not the fault of the device, just a function of the technology. My wife was skeptical (understatement!) that we "needed" this device, given the price. The first night turned that attitude around nicely. To be honest, we'd like to be able to "see" in the dark in the event of a power failure, particularly a longer term one. If undesirable folks are out at night with a long-term power outage, it would be nice to see without being seen - most IR night vision devices, particularly the less expensive ones, have a tell-tale dull red glow coming from the IR emitter. Therefore, someone else can spot you quite easily in the dark, due to the sudden red dot that is shining in their direction. But with this device, there's nothing for them to see. Short of them having their own night vision capability (unlikely with neighborhood "bad guys"), you can be standing straight up in the deep shadows and never be detected - yet they will stand out brilliantly. As a test, I had my wife watch me walk well out into the yard (at least 50 feet), and then crouch down behind some bushes. While she could slightly see the bushes, she said I was clearly visible, and if she hadn't known the bushes were there, she would not have known I'd gone behind anything (obviously the bushes have to have plenty of holes between branches or leaves, so the heat differential can be "seen" through the bushes). Just imagine wearing a glowing suit and someone is watching you through a monocular. As long as you're not behind a solid object, they'll be able to see the light coming through any bushes. It's the same with the heat signature this device "sees." The device frequently re-calibrates itself (you'll see it in the view finder), so it adjusts to whatever the relative temperatures are regardless of time of day or temperatures of objects. Obviously, when it's quite cold you'll be able to see warm bodies far easier, and if temperatures are quite warm in the evening (no sun to artificially heat things up more), a body may not show up as easily due to less difference in temperatures, but it's still highly useful. It will be surprising to see how much difference there is in temperatures the first few times you look through it - big trees are much cooler than the leaves. In fact, looking at leaves on a tree vs. the clear sky behind the leaves at night, the contrast is stunning - the leaves are quite bright white, whereas the sky is providing no real heat of its own, thus it's black. Finally, we have a bird feeder about 50 feet or so from the back of the house. The tiny sparrows don't show up during the day, but a few larger birds do show up, such as blue jays or woodpeckers. Obviously we can't check that out at night, but there probably wouldn't be much difference. And as for how much can be discerned, it is inherently fuzzy. A larger animal would definitely show up well within 100 feet, I'm sure, and be identifiable by shape. But smaller animals, even just 25-50 feet away, would be more problematic unless their shape was quite unique - the definition just isn't good enough to reliably do identification at that distance. And obviously, trying to identify facial features would not possible at any significant distance. It's even distorted due to color scheme presentation at a close distance (just a few feet). So if you want identify a prowler, forget it. But if you want to identify the fact that you HAVE a possible prowler, it'll do a nice job certainly out to at least 100 feet or so (the farthest I've tried it). And it is of at least some use for trying to navigate around objects, if that was the only way you could do it (i.e. you had no flashlight, or it was unwise to use one), but if the difference in temperature is limited between nearby objects, you won't see very well. This will be of limited use to us, but of potential significant value in very occasional circumstances (kind of like auto or homeowners insurance - you pay for it in case you need it and hope you never do). ... show more

  • Functional, but short battery life
Style: Scout TK
I've used this FLIR Scout for the past 2 years, primarily for night wildlife and bat surveys. It is functional (within its limits), but the internal battery only lasts for about 10-20 minutes of use. Additionally, there is also a 5-10 second start-up delay when turning the Scout on. If you leave it turned on, the battery will die fairly quickly. If you instead only use it sporadically (to conserve battery life), the start-up delay each time may cause you to miss wildlife that could be visible for only a few seconds. To deal with this, I've started taking a separate powerbank / charger with me for longer field efforts. That way, I can leave the Scout connected to the powerbank for extended use (the powerbank cord is just an annoyance). It is still amazing technology, though. Maybe the next version will have improved battery life. Like all thermal imagers, be aware that it cannot see through glass. It is useful for checking drafts and poorly-insulated areas around the house, though. ... show more

  • Portable, powerful, simple, WORTH IT.
Style: Scout TK
What an amazing tool for the price. I've played with the settings and features for a couple weeks now and I keep finding new uses for it. It's able to pick up- vehicles, people, animals of all sizes, heating and cooling systems for a WIDE variety of things, it can even tell you where you are losing heat in a WALL! Pros- Light weight, easily portable, very accurate, very easy to operate, very user friendly, wide range of uses from tactical to wildlife observation to home and hardware work, rechargeable off a basic micro usb port so you can hook it up to a portable solar rig and charge it while you camp. Cons- distance ( 100 yards is pushing it for man sized objects but vehicles and large game are noticeable), lack of mounting options- More of a personal gripe really, I'd pay more if it came with atleast a head set mount or maybe had a rail mount of some kind. For the price you honestly can't beat it.Bottom line- Yes I would recommend this to anyone looking for thermal who doesn't have $1000+ to shell out at the moment. ... show more
