Night vision:

Thermal vs. Clip-On

This text discusses a comparison between a thermal imaging device paired with a monocular and a binocular with a clip-on thermal image. Based on a field test by FALCONCLAW, the monocular-thermal combination showed superior performance, although further testing is needed to explore additional scenarios.

A question that is often asked: “What is better, a thermal imaging device in combination with a monocular, or a binocular with a clip-on thermal?” 

Our friends from FALCONCLAW have investigated this question in a small field test and captured it in a very interesting video. Spoiler alarm: in their test, the combination of night vision monocular and thermal imaging performed better, but further scenarios are still necessary.
