    Night Vision Bare minimum Thermal scope and mono recommendation

    Yup. But realize, the "sensor" is stuck on to the front end of the core, between the lens and the core. So "sensor" != "core".

    Night Vision Bare minimum Thermal scope and mono recommendation

    There are really only two Chinese core manufacturers out there Yentai-Iray and Wuhan Global Sensors. Cores from both were banned in USA by the State and Treasury Departments on 1 May 2024, though AFAICT have never been enforced. Not sure why that is. All the Chinese thermals use one of...

    Short answer, YES, it is 9db gain in both directions. My truck antennae are "bumps" (on the roof). I also use fox fury lander for taller grass.

    Night Vision Drones: Changing of the Guard

    We use for yotin' and pasture checks. General rule with EVO2s is 30min cycle time. I.E. roughly 20 mins over "target area" with 4 mins travel out and 4 mins travel back and 2 mins for battery change on the ground. So consumption is 2 batts per hour. 8 batts required for 4 hour...

    Night Vision Drones: Changing of the Guard

    I sent in an evo2 smart controller with weak battery and they swapped it out as a warranty repair and sent in back in a week. Exceeded my expectations. That's my sole autel CS experience in 8 years. I've owned 9. Have 3 DJIs they work, but much more "nanny". Have to hacque'em to...

    Night Vision Drones: Changing of the Guard

    Note, my personal drone fleete has been primarily oriented around Autel since 2017. EvoII v1 and v2 thermal mostly. So SOK also has knowledge skills and abilities around Autel as well !

    Night Vision Clip-on decision: Voodoo S or M, or something else?

    Both the Trijicon (formerly IR&D) thermals with the BAE cores ... and the N-Vision thermals with the BAE cores ... are GREAT. The best commercial stuff we can buy and have been for eons. My main problem with the REAPs (and Patrols) has been zeroing with the joystick. The issue...
