Night Vision Leica Calonox view?

[Ckleeves]

Total thermal newbie here looking for advice. I’m looking to use the Calonox view as a scanner then in the near future either buy a clip on or a dedicated thermal scope.

Lets say a guy could get the Leica for a pretty decent deal, what other options in the under 3k price range should I be looking at? Are there many Calonox out in the wild yet where guys could tell me how they stack up or should I be looking at something completely different? Thanks In advance!

I'm not gonna look that thing up but at 3k you'd be looking at something with a 640 iray core as a likely alternative. 2.5x to 3x with a nice field of view. Seems like a bunch of companies are slapping their names on thermals so you have to look at who actually makes the sensor and core and what the feature set is.

Yeah, Sum Ting Wong has more "brands" to put on thermal devices now days than a top cattle rustler back in the ole western days.

Have you looked at the iRay Zoom ZH38?

I have mostly looked at the offerings from Bering and Pulsar, when it comes to thermal stuff I’m a complete newb so all the suggestions are helpful to at least give me ideas on specs and cost. Thanks guys I’ll keep doing my homework
