New Thermal Imager

[toddacguy]

I first had a chance to play with one of these units about 3 months ago and liked everthing about it the build and the function.
So i picked one up about a 1 month ago the detection is range is unbelievable.
My son and i went pig hunting this past weekend we were looking at some pigs around 1300-1400yds out.
The unit runs on (2) 123 they will run between 4and5hrs constant on .
It has a digital zoom ,black hot and white hot mode and bright control some have video out.
My video out is not hooked up at this time i was thinking about having them hook it up, it just takes more money .

Todd, since you are in the heat and air business, anyway that you can write that off on taxes as a tool for the business? You know tracking hot air leaks in duct work?

Re: New Thermal Imager

That would be great for coyote hunting. I have only seen the thermal devises you can mount in front of your scope.

Re: New Thermal Imager

I too would like to know where to get one. The only one I seen for around 4500 was good on humans to 450 meters. This is would be a lot better for less money.

Re: New Thermal Imager

Sorry, but can someone please post some details on this, Make & Model, I am not getting anything but "Red Xs".

I have worked with thermals for 10+ years, and I would really like to see something in the 3k-4k price range that performs like that.

Thanks,
M Richardson

ToddACguy saw my own OMGIS 2500 handheld thermal imager several months ago (you can see mine in this thread; mine has an alternate lens with a different FOV than ToddACguy's unit, and the external power and video output options are fully functional).

In response to my thread seeking a custom cordura nylon pouch/field carrying case made for it, SH member SIERRAWHISKEY is helping me design one, which others may also eventually want for their own handheld thermal imager.

Re: New Thermal Imager

If anyone knows where to get one of these please PM me.
I've been looking for his email address for a while now.
I'm not a member of the board listed above. I did a search on AR15.Com and couldn't find where he was selling them.

Re: New Thermal Imager

pretty cool. what does the output (what you see) look like? All B&W image?

the only thermals i've ever used were on a Bradley.

Do they come with any type of warranty? Even if its a good price for the piece it would suck to have it go tits up right after you got it. (seems like they build them from other units that have been parted out?)

Re: New Thermal Imager

I'm actually with the builder right now, and he's on the phone with someone from The Hide who must have gotten the contact info from ToddACguy.

Re: New Thermal Imager

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this only one I can find on the OMGIS thermal.
Also google'd it but no luck.

As I have no thermal experience, but have a chance to get one I am curious:
Can these be used behind/infront of or in compo with a scope/eotec??
Or are they purely an observation device?

Thanks,
_DT
