Thermal scanner

[speck_slayer]

What’s scanners have you had experience with? I’m trying to find one that is the best bang for the buck.

I've had a FLIR scout for many years, works great but pricey.

 

[dirtytough]

I think one of the best priced scanners out there is the Bering Phenom. (For coyote hunting where/how I hunt)

It really depends on what you are using it for. You might be able to get by with a super cheap scanner. And you might need something like a Trijicon or Nvision.

I run a AGM ASP TM35-384 and its been awesome, buddy runs a pulsar axion XM30 and we both agree my AGM has better image & performs better in high humidity. If i was to do it again i would pruchase some sort of 640 scanner whether that be a bering phenom or pulsar Helion 2 or somthing along those lines. Only reason i say this is because you spend 95% of time behind the scanner and maybe 5% actually looking through scope

I use a Bering hogster 35 to scan n vision to shoot

We need more info to give you a better answer. What do you plan to do with? How far away do you want to detect a heat source?

I have the helion 2 xp50. Great image, awesome battery life and super durable. I got an awesome deal last year on it, I’d imagine some deals will be had with the helion pro coming out

Does anyone have an agm scope?

I have the Bering optics Phenom. It’s an amazing scanner. This is just holding my phone up to it and taking a picture. It’s way better through the scanner than my phone shows. This was a chicken house raiding fox the other night

What would you say the effective detection range is for your AGM on an average night?

 

[SuperDUECE22]

What would you say the effective detection range is for your AGM on an average night?

specs say vehicle sized objects out to 2 miles which i would agree. human sized objects 1,125 yards which i think is a little on the short side, can easily detect deer out to mile, id say ID range will vary depending on user experience level but i feel like i can ID a coyote at 400 yards easily in open terrain in good conditions

I have the Bering optics phenom as well. Does a great job

I assume this is a 640? This is available in a 384 for around $2100 (budget). I have a Super Hogster and it works great. I scan with a Pulsar XM 30, when conditions are poor, the Hogster is much more clear.

Yes it’s the 640

i've decided to try sell my AGM thermal scanner to upgrade to a 640 unit with LRF. Unit is in excellent condition. My loss is your gain.

Helmet mounted or handheld? For helmet I would look at a NOX-18. If on a budget for helmet mounted there is always the Flir Breach. If you have a large budget I would look for a Skeet.

The Phenom seems like a solid option for hand held.
