Worth the money - Pulsar Quantum HD38A 2.8-5.6x 30Hz Thermal Imaging Monocular

Spent a lot of time youtubing the reviews of this compared to the FLIR and glad I went with this model. The other reviewer is right, the youtube videos do not do it justice on how crisp the images are. The 30fps per second is also a great feature. Haven't had the opportunity to check, but I have no doubt can detect a man at 1,000 yards. I got mine for security purposes, not hunting, and this fits the bill nicely.

Complaints are the auto-adjust that makes a whirring sound and freezes the picture for about 2 secs when its first getting settled, about every couple of mins, but once you've been focused on a subject for awhile it seems to go away. And it is so bright that the eye you are using to look through loses any opportunity to be able to see in the dark. I'm looking for a small screen to jack it inot so I don't have to use the eyepiece. Great design choice by the way, having ability to source image to a separate monitor.

My only regret is I think for my purposes the color change for hottest item that is a feature in the EoTech monocle might be a great feature, but it's not a make or break feature since, from what I recall, this has "more power" than the EoTech.

The batteries that came with it seem to last forever, i use it every day for about 10 mins and in a month the charge indicator icon hasn't moved.
