Night Vision Anyone have experience with these thermal binos?

Looking for any first hand input on the ATN BinoX ?

These are the ones: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/8...artphone-control-via-ios-or-android-app-matte

Just wondering about Preformance. Use would be for scanning and ID’ing coyotes.

Thanks

Check out the recent thread here titled 'Thermal Scanner'.

IMO.. I believe those binocs have the same processor/core as their newer x-sights, which had a lot of problems early on. Not sure if they got everything fixed yet or not. It seemed there was a lot of user adaptation that had to happen to get the things working. Then there was ATN customer service.. Again, not sure if that is fixed now, but look into it. They screwed me once long ago with a NV device, never giving them the chance to screw me twice.

If you've got the $$ for those binocs, look into the Pulsar Quantum line. I have a XQ50 Trail scope and HD38 monocular and coyotes are in trouble.. So far the furthest I've seen yotes is about 600yds (due to terrain), and that was no problem.

Then there's the whole 'for ID'ing coyotes' thing. I'd say under the right conditions, and if they are moving, ... tough to say.. I've been sure they were yotes at 250yds.. and I've not been sure it was a yote or a fox at under 100yds.. Thermal isn't NV when it comes to positive ID.

I would also take a serious look at these. https://tnvc.com/shop/n-vision-optics-atlas/ While a bit more money, PM me for best price. They are absolutely built like a tank. Floatable, submersible etc. for the boating types. They also utilize the BAE 12um core as well, not many realize this and only think the Trijicon line has these.

Good kit.

Thanks gents.

The only reason I was looking at the ATN is I can pick them up pretty cheap. Put even cheap is expensive if they don’t work!
