I have the Hogster 35mm and all I can say it was a game changer for night hunting. First night 2 hogs I wouldn't have seen with IR or green light method. I hunt from stand with 2 feeders and also suppressed. A cover for the suppressor is a MUST. Daytiime heating alone heats the suppressor enough to distort the thermal. With my old eyes 130yds is the max distance I am comfortable with although I can identify a rabbit at 325. I do wish it had the recording built in but external recording is possible with a jack for an external device. Battery life on the CR123 is acceptable when you use the standby mode. I use an external power source that would last a couple of nights. Lazy thanks for putting that external batter pic up I just ordered 2 also. Much better setup then the one I have. The suppressor in my experience has allowed me to get at least another hog apparently they can't identify what it actually is vs a gunshot that scatters em.
