Rdennis from United States, OH Public Profile

Product benefits are genuine (it works) however the MSRP on this is a complete waste of money. You can purchase the exact same “ozone generator” online for less than $60 and if you pair it with a $15 plastic tote from your local home store, you’ll end up with a near identical product. The “only” difference is your home-built alternative won’t be Scentcrusher branded. This company has taken a long existing Chinese manufactured low cost product (the ozone generator unit), thrown their brand sticker on it, packaged it with a plastic tote, and marketed it uniquely enough to charge hundreds more than its worth. Amazing marketing but I’d highly recommend you save your cash and build this yourself. It’ll require drilling a small hole and 15 minutes of your time but will deliver identical results and save you a great deal of cash.

I doubt i'm alone when I say that i've been looking at thermal products for years and cost has been my nagging hesitation. I'd been looking for a thermal imager that could aid me in varmint identification within wooded areas of a 120 acre Eastern Ohio plot. After receiving a bonus at work a few months ago I decided it was time to bite the bullet and in comes the Scout 320. Simply said, no regrets.

Pros:
-Built like a little tank.
-Image resolution perfectly sufficient to differentiate objects from people or large animals at 150 +/- yards.
-Red alert image function is phenominal in helping to immediately identify that targets exist. A switch to black or white hot from there and you can detail what that target really is.
-2x zoom function is a nice little bonus.
-Comes with a nice little carrying case.
-Heck, you can use this thing to determine which of your home windows are well insulated and which are not ;o)

Cons:
-Unit can export live video to a display (TV) via an RCA composite cable... A neat idea but pretty much useless unless you're going to tote a battery operated LCD screen around with you in the field! Would be far more useful and beneficial if this unit had a built in SD card for still image or video capture (for later review).
-None other!

If you've been like me where you've carried hesitation due to cost, I can offer you this. If/when you can finally rationalize the cost, your money will be well spent on the FLIR Scout II 320 thermal imager.
