I'm looking for a chinesium or ITAR friendly handheld thermal with high fov and the ability to record on a microsd. Don't need much more than 300 yards so a 384x28 core is fine. I like a 1-1.5x optical mag range for a scanner.

Budget is 1500-2000$

So far I have the Iray E3+ on the list

I don't like the Pulsar Axion because of the lack of FOV

Any suggestions?
 
Looks pretty good for the coin.

Would you know who’s the OEM manufacturer? I can’t seem to find a source in Canada and I doubt an American company will want to export it even if it’s ITAR free.
 
You can't helmet mount the 19 and having tested both of those unit's, the FOV of the 15 is betterer and FOV is what you want most in a spotter.
The focus is all but useless, unless your sitting in one spot, with a stationary target.
The 15 is lighter and costs less too.

Can't find any AGM in Canada and can't import them from the states but it looks like those guys:


Little better FOV (I think the base zoom is 0.8 as opposed to 0.9 on the AGM15) but seems mostly the same product. And can be helmet mounted. Pretty cheap at 1200$ USD
