Thread: Thinking About a Thermal Monocular – Worth It for the Kaimai's?

A 640x512 sensor with a 35mm lens is pretty a much a do everything formula for nz hunting. Sytongs new brand Falcon has a model with LRF that we will be retailing for $3199. From what I have seen the image is exceptional for the price. We have a sample landing in a couple of days.

Im pretty keen on one of these Ken and will be in touch. Let us know when they are out please.

Does the new model have pip and also can you view video recordings in the field?

We managed to negotiate an even better price for NZ at $2899. I'll know more functionality details next week.

They look impressive, do you find the deer with them at night then use the spotlight on riffle set up to nail them?

Spot with thermal spotter then I use a torch mounted on my rifle (good cheap option), or a sytong nv scope, or a sytong thermal scope. All work but deer do become torch shy.
A good torch will work out to 300 yds on a clear night. A couple of nights ago I got 4 out of 10 before they legged it.
The sytong thermal scope combined with a thermal spotter is simply cheating, but as @Trout says "the deer cheat too 'cos the come out after dark".
