Making the rent or mortgage payments vs buying thermal and still getting drone striked in the end.

drone striked my buddy’s sister last night 🤣 shouldn’t have passed out on the couch 🤷🏿‍♂️

The periodic calibration is not because the sensor gets "overloaded" - it's because the temperature of the sensor has changed. Each pixel in the sensor has a response which depends on the temperature of the sensor. When the temperature changes, the sensor needs to look at a known uniform target (e.g. the shutter or the lens cap) to re-adjust the offset of each pixel. Once the unit has warmed up, as long as the ambient temperature doesn't change much, there should be less and less need for recalibration. I have a FLIR E50 industrial thermal camera and it does about 5 calibrations in the first few minutes after power-up, then another 2 or 3 within the next half hour, and then it pretty much doesn't do any more.

A convenient colloquial way to refer to this would be "overload."

@sbreheny 6 ай бұрын

@@Hoplopfheil To my ear, "overload" implies that it depends on the input (like you used the sensor to look at something that was really hot). This effect (changing temperature of the sensor) happens regardless of what you are looking at.

Love my v1 rattler it’s been going strong for 3 years now. (It’s a 384) but I supplemented it with a pulsar hand held 640 with a range finder. Often over looked but being able to range find at night is extremely powerful.

Reactive thermal targets are incredibly important. The reality is all targets that you need to train for, whether it's military, law-enforcement, hunting will be hot and thermal is incredibly useful for this. I have been working with a company called IR Tools on a heated steel target. I have been working with a prototype that is excellent and having audible confirmation of a hit from longer distances, up to hundreds of yards immediately at night is extremely useful and really demonstrates the utility of a thermal rifle scope.

i just wish thermal scopes would flash a warning icon just before the calibration. if you are about to shoot, you can opt to pause for the upcoming calibration.

One of the few things I loved about my heavy large ass PAS-13b (HMG model) was that it was a cooled model, so no NUCing.

I don't have thermals (yet) but what if you take an emergency blanket or tin foil and place it at an angle so it reflects the sky - wouldn't that be visible enough?

@quetzocotal36 6 ай бұрын

If you have sunlight, you can actually just use black and white paper. The black absorbs more heat and will be visible. You don't really need anything fancy.

I've been having trouble with the image "ghosting" sometimes like seen in 1:32. Any tips how to get rid of it? Am i doing something wrong?

@Hoplopfheil 6 ай бұрын

You're doing a manual calibration with the lens cap off. Either do semi auto or auto calibration, or close the lens cap every time you calibrate.

The biggest problem with using a thermal for FoF is replacing the lenses are stupid expensive and germanium (you know, one of the few glass materials thermals can see through) sacrificial lenses aren't all that common or cheap depending on the thermal unit. Some companies make killflashes, but those decently degrade your image. And no, you can't just slap a piece of plexiglass or polycarbonate infront of your thermal lol (unless you just wanted to make the optic worthless).

I just take some black and white silhouette or grid targets and leave them in the sun for a few min. The black heats up and the white doesn’t. Voila, insta thermal target

Ofcourse both thermal and nvg are what you should have but if it comes to weapon, thermal sight is way more useful than using nvg (or IR laser) for aiming.
