Good info on the selfie stick...will consider that. To the OP, I have a Helion scanner, thermal scope, and just recently bought a cheaper Gen2+ PVS14, just to navigate to my stands. I used to scan with my scope and like all have mentioned, it was a royal pain even with a tripod. The Helion changed everything and I hang it around my neck, which isn't uncomfortable at all (to me). What's cool is if my friends hunt with me, we just trade off scanning duties and I connect to Stream Vision and watch on my phone. I've convinced them to buy digital NV scopes (due to price) and with my thermal scanner, it's a great (& overall cheaper) solution for the group. Did I need the PVS14? Definitely not, but as we all know, going completely dark is addicting...so, I didn't want any flashlights at all. Good luck!
