Reviews & Ratings for ATN ODIN LT 640, 3-12x35mm Compact Thermal Viewer Sensor, Multiple Patterns & Color Options Reticle — 9 reviews — Page 1

This thing is excellent. I love that it is simple to use and learn, and does not need software updates. I would use this for spotting, and then backing it up with my night vision scope. I may upgrade to a high lens in the future.

This thermal monocular has exceeded all expectations. I upgraded from a cheaper mono and am very satisfied with the performance on this new Odin. Can scan fields in seconds and pick up coyotes coming in hundreds of yards out, great tool for your kit!

If you are looking to have a helmet mounted thermal with great clarity than you found it just like I have. You will be very impressed by how light this thing is and how easy and simple it is as well. I can now scan the field the field with this and then switch over to my night vision to take the shot. It is well worth it.

I love this monocular. This is well designed and SIMPLE to use. The menus and interface are intuitive, I didn't need to spend hours going through the manual. The 640 sensor gives a great image at night here in Iowa. I took it out of the box and right to the field.

After looking at a few thermal monoculars, I decided on the ATN odin and I could not be happier with my new spotter. I am able to easily scan a field in seconds and see anything for hundreds of yards, highly recommend! I also recommend picking up the external battery pack, over doubled my battery life

This is not my first ATN unit but the way that ATN was able to compact thermal into this pocket-sized monocular is truly incredible.

The first unit I received was defective. It had a part rattling around inside and would only power up properly 1 in 3 tries. The replacement unit appears to operate properly, however the image equality is poor. While you can see the higer resoultion of the sensor in the greater detail of objects in the center of your field of view, the sensor sensitivity appears to fade as it gets near the edge of the screen. I have tried every combination of Contrast, Sensitivity, and Brightness settings and the problem persisits. You have a high-contrast oval in the center of the image and it fades to a dull low-contrast image at the edges. This adds to the tunnel vision that you get from the already narrow field of view.

When using the Auto NUC function on either of the increased levels of magnification, it NUCs about every 3 seconds, very annoying.

Battery life when using brand-new name-brand (Surfire) rechargeable lithium batteries in cold temps (you know, the temps in which I hunt) was less than 1 hour. That's half of what they say you should get with the single battery option. So my choice is spend the the extra $90 for the rechargeable double battery pack and hope it more than doubles the battery life, or feed this thing $20 of batterys every night that I hunt.

I am returning this and will contintue to hunt with my 320 resolution ATN OTS LT, which costs half as much and works as advertised.
