NightTech "XD65 Pro-II" Thermal Monocular (with distance testing)

[@ozziereviews]

Check out our review of the Pulsar Thermion XP50 Thermal Scope: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmUi6KhprOFbaM

[@nate7629]

Is there a quality thermal imaging monocular or binoculars you would recommend for around 500 USD that can ship and sell to someone in the USA?

I long for the day when this technology is priced affordably for customers other than militaries, governments and Saudi princes.

[@tobywilson2133]

Great review mate. I found the same issue with the lens cover as well.

[@stormchaser300]

I use a normal old school binocular 50mm lens cap that goes over the lens attached to my thermal camera with a stretchy cord on my thermal camera so i dont lose the cap. i took off the floppy cap one on mine and threw it away it was driving me mad.

[@jamie00091]

Just as a different approach to the laser to yours ozzie, if your using a night vision scope and have a mate scanning around with the thermal and he picks up a fox or target, we obviously can't see in the dark. Having the laser to see the general location of the target to be able to get on target I would think would be helpful. If they signal they have a target, and in the dark you have no idea where he might be looking, id think it might be quiet handy! Just my thoughts, you've used the unit and would like your opinion. 👍

Oof that price mention reminded me why thermals arent something I play with lol

[@Bambi_Sapphic]

@HOW DARE YOU! half the cost is still 2k for a thing to stare through at night

[@nathanweil5953]

@@Bambi_Sapphic something to “stare through at night” bahahaha Gotta be one of the dumbest comments I’ve read on thermals. Ignorance at its finest.

[@mattrickard3716]

Yeah, I looked it up and just about prolapsed in shock. Not sure if that's a thing, but it was almost my reality. Should probably get it checked out.....

[@Thylaman]

Nice review! Not a bad unit. I would have liked the laser range finder for my Pulsar Helion 2 xp50 pro monocular. The laser range finder allows you to scale the scene and identify the target if it's unknown. The stagmatic range finder is useless for this. I understand there's a difference between shooting and discovery.

Thanks mate

Is it any good for detecting plumbing leaks under a concrete slab?

I’ve been using the Flir 50Hz version monocular for 4 years now. Best investment I’ve ever made. 5K$$$ This one seems a little clearer...

[@EarlyMist]

Mind blowing to me. I'm a newb to night vision though I only have a cheap night vision goggle that is about adequate for a suburban backyard...if that. Is there anything that performs even a quarter as well for about quarter of the price?

[@ThatGuyCalledJames]

You can run a Sionyx Aurora for cheap with a Crytech skull crusher and illuminator for super cheap. I use one in conjunction with a ATN scope and thermal spotter. It's great fun.

[@ollie2sik]

The glitchy frame rate with video , is just a result of the wi fi transfer Would be the same for still photos , they would come through at a lower resolution compared to physically taking the memory card out and into a computer.

[@swishswish386]

Good review 👍👍👍

[@dangeerling772]

For anyone going to buy a thermal, just get a pulsar end of story

[@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh]

Agreed Pulsars best bang 4 buck Quality

[@dangeerling772]

2200 for a monocular

[@nate7629]

@@SpaghettiFPV-tg3qh Is there any from that company around 500 USD?

[@simonjack8122]

Would the laser get the games attention? Maybe if they see it they'll stand still

[@kell7195]

Oh whats its native magnification ie the base lens?

[@stormchaser300]

1x magnification

[@gary8397]

I have a previous model similar price range. I had a problem with it the after-sales service in Victoria was a non-event.. They claimed there was nothing wrong with it. Yet when I received it back it worked? I had to phone them to find out what was happening nobody bothered to contact me. I was really disappointed considering I had spent nearly $4000.oo on this unit. If you are using one of their units in a commercial situation they may try to help as a private individual they just have no interest.

[@snova8033]

Thermals that have lasers are for when you drop a hog or deer in long grass you can see it but the guy with you can't so if you put on the laser you can lead him straight to it.

[@outnaboutwesternaustralia1700]

I’m hoping to get one in a week or so along with an IAiming for the 243

[@glennllewellyn7369]

Go thermal monocular and a NV scope for a good set up.

Hank a good boy! I want play with him and shares my toys, not my new pig tho, him can’t play with that one! 😉🥰🐶

[@herby375]

do you think it would pick up a snake in the grass?

[@davidhandyman7571]

A normal cold blooded snake, not so much depending on how much heat has been retained. Warm/hot blooded snakes in the grass, definitely, giving you time to hide and pretend not to be home.

[@glennllewellyn7369]

Yes. After it’s cooked.

[@ontarget765]

I've checked and in a good thermal you can pick up movement and the shape but that's almost it. Obviously if the snake was basking you can see it clearer. Sometimes you can pick it up as ever so slightly warmer. That was on my infiray monocular and on a friend's older pulsar. Yes - I'm one of those weirdos that has pet snakes so I've looked a bit.

[@herby375]

@@ontarget765 Thanks for that. its very interesting to know :)

[@kell7195]

Its an Infiray made in China, hence app problems with Apple as they wont allow Chinese apps access to their systems.

[@Danger3512]

What’s the sensor ?? 640 ??

[@stormchaser300]

640x280

[@dilligafwoftam985]

So you look through the $4k monocular, see a roo at 300 metres, pick up your rifle with normal scope and ... can't see 💩? What's the point?

[@daveb6345]

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

[@antoniohyp44]

The thermal monocular assists the thermal scope on your gun. Just easier to scan rather then scanning lifting the rifle up all night

[@daveb6345]

@@antoniohyp44 so it's at least a $10K exercise 🙄

[@antoniohyp44]

It ain't cheap thats 4 sure

[@antoniohyp44]

Get 2 night tec ms 42s they are scopes but you can remove the mount off 1 and use it as your monocle. They are 3,900 each so just short of 8k

[@astondriver]

One micrometer is one millionth of a metre or one thousandth of one millimeter

[@GhostEric813]

Too bad, the laser doesn’t measure distance
