The lower resolution has more contrast why is that? But the higher resolution is crisper at magnification

For the price, the 384 works fine for me.

Great video! I have been trying to find one that showed a side by side like this

Good video thank you

Atn = shit

384 for hunting 640 for law enforcement and military

what is the magnification on these scopes? or at least the max magnification? trying to figure out which one i want

Thank you so much for making a video that gets right to the point

AWESOME video, zoom in/out at varying distance, simultaneously captured for IDENTICAL condition & a side-by-side, display for exact comparison. I'm filtering (very hard) to choose my first thermal. Since its my first, I want a good experience, so I need to weigh factors like versatility, type and frequency of use, budget vs overall performance & quality... Is it worth 2x the price for something I may not use all that frequently, or would it well to purchase multiple mounts for use with several units? Do I want simplicity or will I wish I had certain features? This was very helpful and I think ultimately, my effective range of use will be the deciding factor on which is a better fit for me. Thank you!

I love this video comparison. I wish you could have included the magnification/x zoom so I could kind of figure out at how much zoom does it start to look grainy.

Great video

FINALLY. Good job for making a video that ACTUALLY SHOWS SOMETHING instead of talking about specs I can just read on a website!!

Finally a useful video on thermals

THANK YOU!!!!!!👍🙏 you saved ne alot of money as i could not find a good compasrison video and THIS is the only one.. GREAT JOB

If one has a base mag of 4.5 and the other has a 4, then why did you not start both at 4.5 for a better comparison?. Keeping the mag levels the same throughout. But all in all still a reasonably good comparison

Thank you for doing this. Straight to it. Good usable information.

thanks

Dang, and I was hoping to get away with a 256 Thermal...looks like a few more months of PB&J and Ramen Noodles!

Why does the 640 w 40x max zoom look less zoomed in than the 384 w 18x max zoom?

This is exactly what I was looking for. Solid side x side video.

For the cost difference and most shots being wwll within 200 yards just don't zoom in so much

There is no way that reading is correct. Some of the settings were 1/4 turn and some were 1/2 or more.

Tbh depends on size of lens as well a 15mm 384 vs a 35mm 384 the 35mm lens has a 2.5 magnification head start

I sware if I ever hear someone go "wooaho" in the fucking woods theres gonna be a forest fire from all the lead hittin.

I completely agree with most of the comments about the need for honest videos instead of advertisements and a bunch of BS. I actually couldn’t believe how hard it was to find a video that actually showed the difference in the actual field of view. I’m just looking for a thermal monocular that I can distinguish between hogs and small deer at about 100 to 125 yards. If anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it because this thermal monocular business is expensive and can be overwhelming with all the information and or disinformation.

some advice about the ATN thor 4. i bought a thor 4 640 2.5x25, its been repaired or replaced 7 times, you get what you paid for, its better to spend a little more, than less, when buying a thermal scope

Interesting, it seems the 384 produces a higher contrast image that makes finding a target easier, while the 640 once the target is located produces a clearer picture of the target. thanks for this simple side by side comparison. just what I needed to help me decide.

Holy cow, look at all the dead pixels in the 640.

There’s so many thermals better than ATN for the same price or cheaper. Never understood why people would buy one. Prove me wrong and send me one that actually looks good.

Seems counter-intuitive that the lower resolution version has superior sensitivity an greater magnification. It's almost as if your pixel count labels are swapped. Kind of a bummer if the point of your exercise was to make viewers decide to buy the cheaper version because it appears to be the superior choice...

Thank you for this excellent comparison. I now know that the 384 will more than satisfy my needs as all of my shots would be 200yds or less on coyotes and the resolution of the 384 appears to be good enough to identify coyotes at that range.

I am a little bit confused on how the magnification works so differently with these thermos in ratio to magnification number versus how close the image looks

Are the atns still holding up and how is the battery after a bunch of use

Vary good comparison

Nice comparison I stuck to the 640

hi Jake, awesome video but you don't look very manly hehe

I could make that shot with either scope. My 384 288,2x8 shipped yesterday, can't wait.

then put the cheaper Pulsar XP50 thermion next to the Mars 4 4-40 and the ATN goes back to the shop.

Do I still have enough rail space to mount backup Magpul offset pro irons on the upper receiver’s picatanny for a BCM Recce-16 with this mount ? Thanks

Merde

How far was the shot?

Actually the 384 has a better sensitivity, higher contrast

Next, one sight, three profiles, three rifles! Thanks for taking the time.

Am I the only one who likes the 384 better?

I own 2 of the ThOR 4, 640, 2.5x25. I’ve looked through the lower resolution imagers and they’re good, but if you don’t want stuff pixeling as bad, the 640 is a no brained. At zoom powers above 10x, even the 640 imagers will start showing pixels. So, my recommendation is to just bite the bullet and get the 640 imagers. I also have their XSight 4K night vision. The high def on them is great day or night. Slight delay / lag on them, but that’s ok. Drop the resolution down a tiny bit and enable 120hz refresh and that even clears up most of the lag. Thermal has almost no latency (lag) and are amazing. Where we live, we have coyotes, bears and the occasional fox that try to get into our chicken coops. Latency can mean the difference between living and dying if you have a bear charging you.

Thank you for this video. Very informative and useful

DAMN IT! LOL I thought I might be okay with the 384 until I saw this comparison. I guess I need to save more money. 😥

What magnifications are these?
