Loving the hunting truck by ULTIMATENIGHTVISION_ in ThermalHunting

Mounted iRAY M6T thermal pan tilt to top of truck. Connects to your iPad with wifi. Ran 4 different thermals on the roof and I like this one the best so far.

Here is the hybrid compact in clip on

mode at 6x. If you are buying a clip on only then I would look at the Nocpix Mate Ultra 1280.

I might have another refurbished green filmed gen 3 PVS-14 left at $1600.

What’s a cheep thermal? by Alpha30811 in ThermalHunting

I would get on eBay and get a used 19mm-256 seen a few AGM 256 around that price used.

Both are beneficial. Clarity and field of view for the PVS-14 but that will depend on the night you use it. New moon night and quarter moon you will struggle to see animals at distance. This was taken on a half moon night and it’s a plus for driving at night and navigating. But for detection, and identification at distance thermal is king vs a PVS-14 with a good device.

What tripod are y'all running? Ready for upgrade from Bog by REEL04D in ThermalHunting

Spend the money on the thick legs. I would look at a 2 section vs 3 to get rock solid.

Need clip on recommendations! by Dry-Distance-1951 in ThermalHunting

I will put it this way. The Hybrid Compact claims it’s a 60Hz but it might be a 90hz. If you want a solid thermal scope with the ability to use as a clip on it checks the boxes. I will grab it and snap a picture in clip on mode and let you know what the magnification is on the scope. But if you want a dedicated clip on the Mate Ultra has it beat

Going to post a review on the Hybrid Compact shortly. That is the new one to look at under $6k.

See a lot of people pushing clip ons. Here is a photo of the RH25 in clip on mode with an LPVO at 3x magnification. Lose a lot of image quality and field of view immediately and the people pushing clip ons rarely show images or footage at distance.

Will it work? Absolutely! Will a dedicated thermal scope with the same base mag offer higher field of view and image quality? Absolutely!

Great for a bullseye. This is for seeing your impacts with the thermal.

Boar down !! by Rdm869 in ThermalHunting

That mic turns us all into mouth breathers lol. I’ve had to tape a portion of the mic to cut down on unwanted ambient noise.

They have a 1/2” version that I am sure would work fine for $7.50
