Best thermal under $10k?

I've done some video work for ATN using the THOR 100mm and the OTS-X with a 75mm, 35 and 19mm germanium... Currently I'm working on putting out a IRD video using some MKII, MKIII and some M250 footage, we've got way to many kills to incorporate into any one video so you will get what we think is the best.

HOWEVER, don't use the footage you see on YouTube as a accurate representation of what you will see in real time through the optic. It's a lesser quality than you will experience when using the optic.
 
I have to agree with skinney here. It's almost impossible to capture the real image quality on film. We've been messing with a lot of different methods of filming in attempt to capture it but just haven't matched the quality yet.



We're getting closer though.

Try hooking up the Go-Pro adapter to the IRD oculars and record in 1080P.


BTW, my FLIR RS-64s and RS-32s have taken lots and lots of coyotes and hogs over the years and still are all working great without a single problem. The new reticule upgrade is freaking awesome too.
 
I'm still going through the 500 rounds of Federal soft points that came with the gun. I have purchased Barnes triple shock 95g to reload but haven't tried them yet. 6.8 is so much better than 5.56 for hogs and in a way, better than .308. Not in knock down power but the fact that you can rapid fire at runners without loosing sight picture due to less recoil.

Skypup, Kindly share more info on the FLIR RS reticle upgrade. I Googled this and came up with nothing. Please let it be a Mil-Dot!
