Adder Vs. Adder | Comparison of the 384 and the 640 AGM Adder

[@evanvanheukelom6689]

The side by side comparison is much appreciated. I would love to see more of these!

[@davidsanford2711]

My AGM Adder arrived; I sighted in to 300 yds. with 4 shots and 5 to confirm. I’m sure I could have sighted in with fewer shots if I were more tech savvy however; I was pleased seeing it was my 1st thermal experience. I used the Adder the 1st night for a few hours out back on a corn field just to get some time with the scope, I knew we didn’t have any yotes around the house. The 1st night out about 7:15 a yote came in to my caller however; he didn’t pause long enough for me to get a shot. About 20-30 minutes later a 2nd yote came in about 150 yds out, and he never left. I couldn’t be happier with my AGM Adder TS50-384 the clarity to ID and detect are outstanding and I couldn’t be more pleased. . If you want a badass thermal for yotes the AGM Adder fills the bill.

[@AlabamaArsenal]

They are extremely impressive! I am still loving mine! Thanks for watching!

[@TyThur111386]

Have you looked at game further out say like 500 yards. Would they still be able to pick up the heat signature that far out.

[@davidsanford2711]

@@TyThur111386 500 yds for a heat signature on a yote or deer is no problem. i know I can pick up deer at 900 yds because there's a silo off the back porch at 914yds.

[@BigCityCountryBoi]

Basically 384 resolution is equal to watching 480 resolution and 640 is the 4k of scope thermal

[@AlabamaArsenal]

That’s a good way to explain it! I might say 384 is like 720 resolution and 640 is like 4K, but that is a great way to put it. Thanks for watching!

[@theNfl_Esq]

How do they compare to the XP 38 Or XP 50 Thermions?

[@hooznxt04]

@@theNfl_Esq I have 2 AGM rattlers which are very similar to the Adders in this video. In my opinion the Pulsars have a better and more complete picture. They offer much better background clarity over the AGM. Pulsars also have more options for color palettes and more settings for contrast/brightness. The AGMs do an excellent job for me as my first thermals but when I’m ready for new it’ll be a Pulsar.

[@theNfl_Esq]

@@hooznxt04 thanks for the feedback. I am going Pulsar.

As always, great video. Concur on review of the clip on thermal.

[@stritheor]

I think there's a little added comfort in having the included ADM mount. C_Does did a comparison of four different mounts for how well they return to zero taking it off and on. The ADM did the best of the four. Perfect returns.

What is your top pick for “best” “buy once, cry once” thermal

[@AlabamaArsenal]

A 640 resolution Adder, whichever magnification fits your needs better. But really even the 384 model does a phenomenal job and the price makes it hard to pass up. Thanks for watching!

[@letsgobrandon416]

It amazes me how much better I thought the 380 looked just because it's minimum power was 4 instead of 2

[@joebob4609]

Still looks better to me

[@AlabamaArsenal]

They're both very good. Thanks for watching!

[@buddy7818]

Another thing to mention. When buying thermal the start magnification plays a large roll in the field of view. A 2x mag start and a 3x mag start will have a big difference in field of view. The 3x will have a lot less so consider that when hunting at night if you need to scan

[@paul-upstate-nyhunter7394]

Great video. The Power button etc looks flush on top , was it hard to feel in the dark? Thinking bout getting this scope for coyote hunting this winter, just not sure about those small flush buttons for cold temps in the dark 🤔. Also , do you think the 640 has that much more of an advantage on the 384 to identify a coyote out passed 200 yards ? Thanks!

[@joshuagibson2520]

Wonder if a non recording model would be significantly cheaper. I don't really need recording capability. If they could offer a model without that feature for significantly cheaper would result in a whole lot more sales from guys like myself.

[@AlabamaArsenal]

I really don’t know. Maybe that’s something they’d offer but I’m not sure if that would be a significant on the price. 🤷‍♂️ thanks for watching

[@s00-x2h]

These days the prices of thermals are finally going in the right direction... I just added the AGM Adder TS50-640 to my other thermals the Pulsar Thermion XP50 and the iRay MH25 that I run on a helmet. Thermals are definitely expensive but when it comes to scanning and shooting at night they can't be topped. But both of these thermals are worth the money I haven't had mine for long but so far I've been impressed. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

[@AlabamaArsenal]

Great to hear that from an experienced thermal user! Sounds like you have some really cool stuff. Thank you for watching man!

[@ngaoutdoors4157]

It’s definitely nice to see quality thermals coming down in price but it has open the door for more night hunters stomping on our property’s claiming to be professionals lol, there is a lot more accidental shootings across the night hunting community recently also. It’s a very disciplined sport to hunt with with thermals and we always use a spotter with nods behind our shooters to keep them in there shooting zones and when to stop shooting, anyone who night hunts with thermals and nightvision understand where I’m coming from.

[@arnoldolsen8997]

Thanks for the vids! The vids are a little fuzzy. Is the pic in the scope much better than the videos show? Or, was is just a focus issue?

Adder vs rattler?

[@AlabamaArsenal]

Might be able to make that happen. Thanks for watching!

[@theNfl_Esq]

The Pulsar XQ 35 Thermion 2 640 is around $4k but it’s a bit heavy. The Adder is made in China and is a little cheaper. However I feel like the Thermion is slightly better and may be the better deal. The major drawback on both is there’s no LRF. Which is really mandatory imho. You have to go to the Thermion 2 Q50 pro lrf and it’s over 5k. Also the AGM makes the rattler which is lighter

[@danielthrone6824]

Adder is made in Arizona USA.

[@SouthernShodan]

So thermals for zombies? You said they are better for scanning b/c they highlight anything living. Well the undead are "un" dead, so will it highlight them is the real question we want to know.

[@TheMichiganShow]

Anything “living” meaning having a heat signature. Although a rock is unliving like a zombie but can have a heat signature like a zombie as well. I suppose when that day comes we will know soon enough by the onslaught of thermal zombie killing KZbin videos
