Reviews & Ratings for ATN OPMOD OTS XLT 2-8x19mm Thermal Monocular — 11 reviews — Page 1

if you hunt with a thermal scope you need a hand held to spot with, this works well enough to id what you can shoot before aiming your gun at it within 200 yards, if you need more range then get a higher resolution

Bought as entry level thermal device. Plan on getting thermal scope if i liked this device. Used several times so far and am impressed with image quality for price point. Definetly would recommend.

This thermal monocular is a fantastic value. Works amazing, did a lot of research on this (tons of youtube videos). Very happy with my purchase

Great imaging bug battery dies in under 5 minutes total trash not useable for more than 5-10 minute gimmick

This is my first thermal purchase.

I set my expectations low due to the sensor resolution being the lowest available but I'm surprised with how well this performs. Having no prior experience I found that I can comfortably identify a child out to 100+ yds through the woods. I also have a 15lb dog that I was able to detect but not identify at that same 100+ yd distance. This meets my intended use.

The display and image quality is not the sharpest but is adequate. Be sure to adjust the objective lense and diopeter for the best results.

I found the color palette options to be extremely useful as your physical location will dictate what looks/works the best. I tend to like the fusion setting which surprised me, as it's my least favorite option when watching youtube videos. Note that if you're staring into an area with little thermal differences using black hot the picture can almost appear as fog. This shouldn't be a problem, just swap to an ideal palette.

To me the field of view is quite narrow, 50 yds and beyond was my ideal range.

Overall this optic is great for the money. If you need sharper/crisper images with greater contrast I suggest doling out more money and getting a higher resolution sensor.

Does everything it claims to do. Easily identifies deer out to a hundred yards. Haven't had the opportunity to stretch it out. Not "rifle scope" sharp, but a great tool for the price.

Really like it. I could identify coyot s, and deer out to 400 yards. Simple to use. Just what I was looking for.

Works good up to about 100 yards. Past 100 yards it is hard to identify what type of animal you are looking at.

For the price of $500 you cannot beat it. It's simple to use, lightweight and compact. The image quality is pretty good. I got it to detect the coyotes near my farm. The battery life is A+. Highly recommended for a good starter therm.
