Been a while I know.. I haven't really done any "worthwile" videos while out hunting yet (did one but don't wanna talk about it lol). So far I'm very impressed with the XP series Thermion (I haven't used it since the update though). XP38 has a low base zoom (1.8 I think) & base pip of 3x. I can effectively identify anything coyote size & up out to at least 300 yards without issue (bunnies I've been able to id out to 100-150ish yards after watching them for a bit).
Have a Helion XP50 handheld that SHOULD be here this week also & super excited to see how it does for scanning compared to my Armasight Zeus 640 (what we currently use to scan).
To date I've killed 4 yotes in my front yard (I live out in the country) with it, gotta love "breeding season" for them. With my green hunting light it's always spooked the coyotes & kept them at bay & would pull back. Nice being able to walk out lights off mosey up to something to stabilize & plink (2 of the yotes last night) & 6 hogs. I can't begin to express how nice it is to be able to get out & walk within 50 yards of a sounder lights out & start shooting. I was able to stalk in from the direction I figured they came from so they ran slightly off angle right towards me. Down side - I didn't carry an extra mag out with me :mad: (lesson learned).
