[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2532880, member: 8907"] I get buying American but, with out-sourcing that really isn't possible in a practical sense. With their[B] 'surveillance society'[/B] mentality, don't kid yourself into thinking the relatively small number of thermals sold in the USA are a significant effect on their NV technology. I dare say Walmart is a bigger threat in that sense than us purchasing Bering Optics products. USA consumers at large are enabling a big part of the Chinese evil-empire technology with the consumer-military fusion factories producing the vast majority of stuff people buy every day in terms of general consumer goods. Apple? Intel? Disney? ... I have personal experience with some of their surveillance cameras and the AI-based technology in them is impressive and SCARY! When I can get a ~$200 4K/8MP camera that will record COLOR at night without artificial light, there is a lot to be concerned about IMHO regarding abuse. Telling me I moved a box or that a box hasn't been picked up ... That's the tip of the AI iceberg. On a more related note: After trying the consumer side of FLIR, I'll take Bering Optics any day of the week! For the price, I haven't been impressed with Pulsar. YMMV I would be all for a domestic US company making an equivalent sensor and thermal to Bering Optics at a similar price point. The Bering Optics sensors seem to work better in high humidity than most of the competing sensors which is a big discriminator for me. [/QUOTE]
