For some reason the Red Ryder BB Gun and night vision have always been high on my need want to have list. There is just something amazing about having the superhuman ability to see in the dark. This version uses FLIR or thermal imaging to see heat so you can use the FLIR Scout PS32 from dusk to pitch black. The PS32 is made to be rugged and outdoor friendly while weighing just 12-ounces (with battery) so you shouldn't get arm fatigue while using it. You get a 320×240 thermal imaging detector, viewing LCD display, three display modes, a tripod mount, and a rechargeable lithium ion battery. More details after the break.
With its small form factor, light weight, and powerful optics, FLIR’s Scout PS-Series enables extended, on-the-move night vision use without arm fatigue. Like all FLIR thermal cameras, the Scout PS-Series creates images from heat, letting you navigate rough terrain at dusk, before dawn, and even when it’s pitch black outside. The compact unit fits easily into the palm of your hand, and its simplified operation makes it an ideal choice for sportsmen, hikers, ranchers, rangers, or backyard nature enthusiasts, enabling you to:
- Traverse rough terrain in low- or no-light situations
