I was hesitant to get this over the substantially cheaper Chinese optics with similar performance but I'm glad I went with this. For the money you can get a little better performance from the Chinese stuff BUT this is unbelievably small and light and fits right in your pocket. It feels much better built over the Chinese counterparts. I'm also really not a huge fan of internal batteries which most the Chinese models feature. I appreciate just throwing some extra cr123s in the case to change as needed plus it can run on a power bank. In this game you definitely get what you pay for, there's a reason the Chinese optics are cheaper. Buy this, you won't regret it.

I used this for perimeter control at a large outdoor event. The weather was cold, wet, and muddy. This breach unit did a fine job of helping identify people along the fence line, and at one point I could clearly make out a raccoon with her little babies following her across the dirt road about 100 yards away in multicolor HD mode. I'd give it five stars but the battery life was pretty poor. FYI, I hooked it up to my 23000 mah external battery with a USB-C cable and it powered it all night long no problem. For the size, I'd say this little guy performs really well, just get and external battery if you'll be using it longer than an hour or so.

Great product if your looking for thermal imager for close range support. It was not designed for long range scanning and weapon mounting. If you can live with that, then this product is for you. It is extremely light weight and works very well mounted on a helmet. Very great picture definition for a 320 sensor. Not the sharpest sensor on the market or widest FOV, but it does bring a lot to the table for it's decent price. It makes a world of a difference for hunters, law enforcement or military personnel who are tracking a person or an animal. The product has two downfalls in which I hope FLIR fixes with a firmware update.
- The Battery indicator is inaccurate. It would indicate a full battery and then the unit will shut off without notification because the battery died. This is deadly if you are using this to track a suspect as it's advertised to be used.
- The preview selection does not allow you to preview the pictures or videos.

For the most part this unit continues to impress me when I use it in different environments. Very sharp and detailed imaging of your environments. And the outdoor alert setting uses a black hot palette but introduces a red highlight of objects or animals that stand out in the environment. Very cool palette setting.
Also I have been trying to contact FLIR on the water resilience of this product and still have not received an answer back. I found one website that listed it at ip67 which is 3 meters for 30 min.

Cheaper than other helmet mounted units. Maybe not as high resolution, but gets the job done. Outdoor alert mode is awesome and I don't use any other mode. It will dramatically increas your effectiveness compared to just a PVS 14. Well worth the money.

This is VERY lightweight and compact - two features that, apart from functionality really matter. Tried to get it to run "fused" alongside a PVS-14. No luck. I doubt this can be done to most people's satisfaction. More useful as a temporary flip-down deal on a dual-tube setup. The unit works perfectly well albeit at medium resolution and helps identify warm things, critters and 2 legged mammals really quickly.
