TP Logic T12-W & T12-V Thermal Imagers for Airsoft

[Ricochet]

I guess the Scout TK by Flir it is. They're compatible with GoPro mounts apparently, so that's a bonus. Price point wise it's amazing and quality is exponentially better than TP Logic in every way. The only thing the TP Logic had as an advantage was its tiny size and viewing screen, which as Delta pointed out, was actually a disadvantage at night. Mostly this is for day scrims to scout for ambushes and take away some enemy tools. The scout is still small enough to fit in a pouch, plus, I can take it camping and crap and blow my kids minds.

mind posting a quick review of it when you have it?

[Ricochet]

Yeah, absolutely. Don't hold your breath though. I gotta sell a few things before its in my budget. lol. Maybe I'll contact Flir and try and source a group buy. So far I'm trying to get info on its daylight abilities and info is scarce.

Its daylight abilities will be the same as its night time, as its not gathering any light, just heat signatures.

I would have thought otherwise. Shouldn't it's capabilities be slightly affected between day and night? The ambient temperatures during the day are higher so there's less of a temperature difference, resulting in a lower gradient on the display so it'll be harder to make out shapes. Night should be easier because everything's cooled down some, so it's easier to pick out the signatures of body heat against a colder backdrop.

I'd expect this is addressed in good units (probably through programming by using the ambient temperature as a base and using the maximum and minimum temperature range as a max-min for the display gradient) and will only be a very small performance difference, but I'd kind of like to know the answer too.

It should work in daylight, for finding heat signatures, but it could be more difficult to traverse with it. Not that you'd need to.
