I currently own a FLIR thermal, an AN/PVS-4 3rd gen, a MK7900 3rd gen ATN and a Pulsar digital. Not a fan of thermal, although the new stuff has gotten a lot better. You can see animals that you otherwise might not with thermal, but that don't necessarily mean you will get to shoot them.
I prefer my 3rd gen night vision with an illuminator. They don't give that away either, but it works flawless.
I have to say though that I am very impressed with the digital Pulsar. If it existed back when I started I probably would prefer it and for the initial layout of cash I definitely would have at least bought it first. You pretty much see the same as 3rd gen NV, but without the green tint.
Biggest advantage besides the reasonable price is the fact that it has higher magnification capability. Hard to zoom up even 3rd gen much over 4 or 5X because the screen gets "grainy". My digital goes up to either 15 or 20X and still looks pretty good. Still uses an illuminator to make their eyes shine. I cant really say about toughness and longevity...I have not had this digital for as long as I have had my NV. Coming up on 20 years of great service.
One final thing, the NV is pretty simple, the digital does a lot I don't need it to do and is complicated. In our modern gadget age some folks like that...I don't particularly need to go back to school to learn to use a scope!!!!

Despite the fact that the newer materials are much better, thermals are not my favorite. Infrared cameras can help you find animals you wouldn't otherwise find, but that doesn't mean you can always take pictures. not. The biggest advantage besides affordability is the increased magnification.

That sounds like an impressive piece of equipment for the price! The 384×288 resolution paired with a 2500-meter recognition distance is solid, especially for something under $1500. The 1024×768 OLED eyepiece and 50Hz real-time imaging are great specs, and having 1-8x continuous zoom with multiple color options makes it versatile for a variety of applications.
Have you had a chance to test it out yet? I'd love to hear how it performs in low-light conditions and how smooth the imaging is at maximum zoom. Also, is the build quality robust enough to handle rugged environments?

Hey guys. Heads up. a OEM, Uni-trendus.com The reason I am posting this is because the monoculars are REALLY crazy low priced, and almost all are increasing 2-3x after the sale ends in Dec 1st. So I am getting the word out. I have used flirs, fluke, and I have the uti325 uni-t and i use thermals at work everyday. The Uni-t ones are worth the current pricing by far. Take advantage of these prices if you are on the fence. The current pricing was a error, and is lower than their manufacturing cost currently. But they are fixing it after dec 1st. but will honor all sales upto that day. Just a heads up from one hunter to another. Check it out and compare specs. They come with warranties and serviced in Texas
