Night scope

[Chris Hammond]

I’ve been watching a Northern lad named Simon Eardsley on YouTube a lot recently. He’s a wildlife tog and all round country boy.

He’s endorsed a night scope, the Hikmicro lynx 2.0, which I think I must now purchase. Best price I can find is £375 on Amazon.

Anybody familiar with this kind of kit? And if so wete’s the best place to buy one please?

A quick Google says the model in his vid is over a grand - https://www.scottcountry.co.uk/products ... mal-imager

Crikey I ain’t paying that for a toy!

This is what I found when I typed in the exact details above?? (I thought that was steep enough!)

That was what I got, too, but I checked his video and he mentions the model number. Looks like it's the 'entry level' one. https://www.scottcountry.co.uk/thermal- ... s%5B%5D=54

That's a problem with freebie reviews, they always get sent the top of the range models.

Thanks Dave.

What do you think that all boils down to? I would only want infrequent use from it, but there are some projects I have in mind with it that would probably be interesting enough to make me consider the lesser model. All I want is the capacity to thermal image subjects. The straightforward white images on black would more than do for me. Do you reckon the £375 model is likely to do that?

I can't help, Chris, I don't know anything about night scopes. Sorry. Might be worth trying to find a review or two.

No worries Dave.
