Thermal binos

Anybody have thermal binos with lrf that work reliably to 500 yards, I have a pulsar accolade 2 and it is spotty on coyotes at 500 plus, just looking for some user experience
Thanks
 
I can't help u with binos however, after using a thermal scanner I switch eyes constantly to avoid or minimize eye strain. The eye strain with binos must be less than user friendly

I'm still relatively new to thermals so it could be one of those I don't know what I don't know but I bought the Pulsar Merger XT50 binos because I thought they were more user friendly with less eye strain. What am I missing and I'm curious why you said that?

As to their LRF abilities so far so good and they've been pretty spot on. I have a couple other RF's, Sig2200 and BR2, I compare it with and all read pretty much the exact same to one another.
 
When sitting in the dark your eyes adapt to the darkness. Then you immediately look into a bright thermal screen, and your eye adapts once again. The longer you stare through the thermal you’ll get a “black spot” in your vision. One eye will have the “black spot” the other eye won’t. Moving a scanner from one eye to the other reduces the “black spot” in your vision.
 
Your eyes work as a pair and a monocular will take longer to recover from vs a binocular where your eyes are working together.

This was my thinking before I bought my XT50's but like I said before maybe I don't know what I don't know. There are obvious trade offs to both mostly being a monocular scanner is going to be smaller/lighter and cost less but with regard to eye fatigue I'll take my chances with a bino setup over a monocular every time.
