Night vision

[fazza123 517]

Does anyone use night vision to have a look around before putting the lamp on? Thinking of investing in some NV binoculars but cant decide what to buy.

I have a set Yukon tracker 1x24 goggles, use them mainly for sneaking out of dodge quick when it gets a touch warm. With a nv filter on the lamp its just the same as lamping but only you can see whats going on obviously have to take the nv filter off to run the dogs. It keeps using the white to a minimum which attracts less attention in hot areas. TBH though thermal trumps out nv for sneaking about and spotting.

Save ya money, as soon as you find something there's light everywhere anyway, might look good to record some runs tho or for some after hours wildlife spotting

Ok mate I’ve asked the same question on the nv and thermal thread see what’s worth spending your money on but had no reply’s atb longers01

You ain't going to beat a thermal they win hands down lads I lamp with use them ideal bit of kit I'l get 1 one day when I've got cash spare

Ok mate i no thermal is the best out there but I’m like u haven’t got that type of money mate atb longers01

I use a thermal mate. Xq38f. Great bit of kit to be honest . Can walk for hours and only put the lamp on handful of times when your dogs running.Good for lampshy places and if your somewhere your not supposed to be which is handy for me . Mates got an xp 50 which is good aswel. Probably a bit better picture on the xp50 but the xq38f more than good enough for what I imagine you’ll need

Just been out for couple of hours as it got dark local as ground still rock hard and no wind an a full moon but thought I’d take the thermal to have a mooch while we cross the parks and golf courses. Spotted about 5 foxes 1 munty and and a few bunnies in 2 hours. Too light and still to get anywhere near the rabbits but let’s you know what’s really about even if it’s from a couple of fields away as the distance is great on them aswel

Ye every thing lampshy near me already had a look about 3 or 4 times in the last week and even with the dimmer there well switched on mate how much do you pay for the thermal stuff pal atb longers01

Cheers, I didnt know about the night vision threads

Think I paid 1900 for mine from game fair year before last mate. I know it’s a lot of money but keeps you safe that was my main objective

Lke the idea of night vision/  thermal imaging but can't justify high prices on my budget. Anything half decent for a few hundred quid?

I’ll be honest you won’t get anywhere near any good for few hundred quid anything less than the xq38 or the one above your wasting your money mate atb B.B.
