[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2452512, member: 116439"] I suggest that you do a lot more homework and look at the post on LRH as well as other forums. You may be seeing too many TV shows. What you are looking for is at least $5K. First thing is you get what you pay for. I have seen Thermals from $800 to $10K and there is a difference. If you look at all the U-Tubes they are the best videos and doctored so you there is never videos where the thermal is not looking good. If you get one and think that it will look like a $8-10K thermal you will be disappointed. I have a $3,500 handheld and went out last night looking for Oreo (our cat) and the entire woods were almost a wash due to the temp being the same all day because of rain on the trees and ground. I saw my neighbors house outline 400 yds away through the trees and picked up some "Hot Spots" couldn't tell if they were possum, armadillo, rabbit or Milo. Now when we have a difference in temp during the day to night-I can see trees, rocks, bushes and make out the difference between animals -if within 50 yards. If using my NV D760 I can see what the animal is at several hundred yards. Just saying gain do a lot of homework and if possible, try looking through some Thermals. Good Luck Let us know what you decided on and how it works for your application. Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
