I just saw this video on Instagram. I'm not saying that I like it. My curiosity has been generated. I can see some advantages and disadvantages to this set up.
I would not use this in a combat or self-defense situation because of the backlight from the screen. With animals that need dispatched at night that's a different situation.
A person can avoid a lot of eye fatigue that comes from looking through an optic with an eyepiece. With an eyepiece equipped thermal scope there is basically a small television screen an inch or two in front of your eye.
As a scanner for non-combat situations this would be great because you don't have the television close to your eye.
Then there is the fun factor of shooting suppressed handgun at night. I didn't say it was necessarily practical but just fun.
Anyway, posting it here to see what others think. Is it worth $2000?
