survivalshop Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Suposed to be available in August for $349. Wonder how that would work with one of those attachments for viewing through your scope ? http://www.flir.com/flirone/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolndie7 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I wonder how well it actually works? given the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I will pick one up , when they become available , just because I do HVAC/R work on the side some times. ( now that I'm retired & being forced to by friends & family ,the bastiges ). Looks like it works , just how good it will work on a scope , well it may not work at all . The price will probably vary , depending where its available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I would get it and pretend I was predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I doubt the system will work on a scope. Just based on the price point of their already available systems... A standard FLIR is $2k-$3k, but their long range system is >$70k... that's a huge difference. There must be more involved than simple magnification.

blue109 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I assume it needs to be able to pick up the lower frequency part of the spectrum directly, not just a magnified visual image. not sure how it works though. guess I have something to look at tonight!

survivalshop Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I would believe it would be the pick up strength of the sensor that would determine how far it would pick up a thermal signature & even the big dollar ones use magnification . This will be an interesting experiment, I believe much better than night vision . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 but will the scope magnify the target in a way the IR can pick up? or will the IR device be blocked by the scope, only seeing as far as the eyepiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good question . What does a scope do , it magnifies to bring seen objects closer , wonder if heat can be picked up with magnification ? Mirage , you see that magnified . A question for someone with more knowledge than me , but its interesting for sure . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirForceAR Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Am I the only one who thought of other uses for this? Lol. "You say you're not turned on? FLIR determines that's a lie!" Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I thought that was what FLIR was invented for. Scanning the club for the females in heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
