Reviews & Ratings for Armasight Q14 640 1x19mm Thermal Imaging Multipurpose Monocular — 2 reviews — Page 1

The Armasight Q14 provides not only great functionality, but with all the available accessories, it has some impressive versatility too with the ability to be used as a small handheld monocular or as a head/helmet mounted hands-free monocular, or mounted to a rifle with the included picatinny mount, and all this in one of the smallest form factors for a 640x480 thermal imager.

The 640x480 resolution provides enough resolution to make the digital 8x zoom usable for identification purposes. Anything with a heat signature pops out like a neon sign.

In addition, there's an optional screw-on optical doubler accessory available that turns the Q14 from a 1x to a 2x which increases its effectiveness as a monocular or rifle mounted optic.

The native 1x allows for positively ID'ing a hog vs a dog at about 150 yards with detection possible out to 700+ yards. The 2x doubler doubles that effective distance. I can't wait to take this hog hunting down South.

As I was casting round for a present for my son’s birthday, I stumbled upon a Q14 monocular. So, I and my wife thought that this is going to be a great gift for him. The shipment came right in time and the unit was exactly what I expected to see. The main advantages I saw at first sight were obviously Q14’s size, offered imaging enhancements and the kit that comes along with the scope. It includes wireless remote control, Quick release mount, video cable and other really useful components. The first time we went hunting with this monocular, results were impressive. We managed to hunt 5 coyotes at the field by our farm in just couple hours. My son is more than just happy with his gift and now I’m thinking of purchasing another scope for myself.
