When I first took this out of the box and used it I stuck it up to my eye like I would a flir monocular. Which I have used all of their scout line. This device is actually held away from eye looked at not looked into, That took me a little but once I got used to it I really liked. If I am still hunting, Or just in a stand or watch, and trying to be still, I can take this out, turn it on, And scan an entire area, Without doing anymore then slowly rotating my hand, and looking down at screen. If your point it over your shoulder looking in back of you and simply looked down, you can see directly behind you without moving anymore than your eyes really. I found this to be very pocket friendly too.
This gave me the ability to see things around dusk or even mid day that I wouldnt simply have a hard time finding with binoculars or naked eye. I can usually always pick out an animal before walks into the clearing. If you are a Whitetail hunter like me in the woods or looking out over a meadow, or your having having animals come out of woods, it’s all you need. I have a $3000 flir, I’ve found have brush or trees around It doesn’t matter what you spend it openly limited by the physical properties of thermal waves. All of these have issues if it’s warm out, the cooler i is the better warms shows up, it doesn’t matter what you spend. At 50 100 200 yards Probably more there is nothing a high-end one can tell you that this can’t. It’s an advantage , it’s a super power, no matter how you slice it. Battery wise I’ve still never changed it or look up how do assume at some point I will, But I’ve hunted in the cold since October and it showed no signs of dying. The Flirs don’t last long And they are a pain to cha.rge I don’t have a dime in either company, I probably sound like someone who is writing a review for Leupold, Just a Deer Hunter. I did a complete 180 on it , and I got used to this I really liked it, So I decided to review. I do think it was far clearer the low end scout I tried, if that helps, 5 stars for its ability and price point vs competition
