FLIR Scout Lightning Review: IT LETS YOU SEE IN THE DARK, DUDE

As far as major power go , the power to see in the darkness is n’t generally very mellow on citizenry ’ lists . Suckas ! It ’s awesome . And utile ! The FLIR Scout TS - Series impart you those superpowers , Mr. Wayne .

What Is It?

It ’s a thermal monocular that lets you SEE IN THE DARK .

Who’s it For?

Secret agents , security / surveillance professionals , well - list hunters , dispatch leaders , tracker . Pervs .

Design

It feel like military grade ironware : strong , waterproofed , and can be used right or left handed .

Using It

There ’s a lot of wow factor here , and once you ’re over that there ’s screw-loose ergonomics . Buttons are way harder to force than they should be , and the menu system is written like an engine room text edition .

The Best Part

you could see in the crashing dark ! ( And choose between several visualisation mode , which are really handy in dissimilar consideration )

Tragic Flaw

Aside from the butterface menus and unresponsive release : it chew through battery very rapidly .

This Is Weird…

You need a screwdriver to remove the assault and battery , which is screw-loose because a ) They ’re purportedly “ field of force - replaceable ” and b ) The thing eats shelling like they ’re covered in sugar and sitting in a pie ravisher .

Test Notes

• The modes you see in the television are White is live , Black is Hot , and Red is Hot ( with varying sensitivities )

• The ground we spend a penny in the TV was to show that it could be used in animal trailing . That glowing white in the shot after was recorded minutes by and by . Impressively sensitive .

• Look how bright the cell earpiece was when we put it on the dry land . It stayed that way for a long meter , making this goodness for recovering lose object .

• you could record stills and video clip to an SD lineup , but with a maximal resolve of 320×240 . Pretty low - res

• That unknown looking eye - composition you see in the photos is to prevent light - outflow so you are n’t detected , but it mean you have to unwaveringly press it against your eye , which takes a little getting used to

Should You Buy It?

count who are you are . Are you a rich hunter ? Then yes ! Are you a security professional ? Then sure ! Are you an average consumer who is curious about night vision ? Then no , because it costs $ 4,000 . Unless you ’re extend to utilise it for your livelihood , or you ’ve just bugger off scores of money to burn , it ’s pretty hard to justify . If you’re able to justify it , however , have play !
