I have hunted coyote and hogs using thermal and night vision devices for 10 years.
The Thor 4 platform does a fantastic job with thermal sensitivity. On this 1-10, I’ve noticed pixelation starts at 6x. It’s reliable, the WiFi connection with the phone works predictably well.
It’s reliable. Definitely worth the money.
I’m new to the thermal world.. I don’t know what you can expect for $2500-$3000 but I would think that the $1000-$2000 stuff would be terrible because this stuff is just ok in my book.. maybe that’s as good as it gets tho.. havent tried it out on live animals yet.. but got it zeroed so should be able to use now..
