This New Thermal Imaging Tool is Surprisingly Affordable

  • We Can't Wait to Try It for Ourselves!

    Thermal imaging may seem like something that's only for sci-fi movies, or maybe for use by police and fire departments, but more and more, ordinary civilians are using it for a wide range of purposes, from hunting to home security. As the use of this technology expands, so does its accessibility. In fact, many companies are now introducing thermal imaging cameras designed specifically for the lay person. One recent entry into the marketplace is the FLIR Scout TK, which is designed specifically for consumers.

    This thermal imaging monocular has a lot of cool features, which might tempt you to run right out and buy. However, it's also wise to do a little research first, so you can make a smart shopping decision. That's why we have an introductory guide to this tool that explains just what it does and how it works, along with the pros and cons. It may not be for everyone, but it sure does have some nifty features that will come in handy for some!

      I mean if $599 is what you consider affordable… I was thinking like $100-$150 bucks

      1k-5k depending where you buy…only practical if your bruce wayne or can write it off on taxes

      Saw listed for $599 but reviews say 100 yard effective range at best so serious limitations to this product.

      yes and it works fine, not for long distances. It still works, but then it is difficult to make a difference in shapes. There is no real zoom on it. But the colors are really sharp and clear image. I have been working with Flir’s of over 5000$ before and this little one does the job realy good and that for 1/10 of the price.

      100 yard range. Worthless. Save the $1500-$2000 and get 320-500 yards range FLIR.

      BLAH BLAH BLAH…Sheeiit… Why you got to string us through 4-5 pages just to tell us that $600 is considered affordable? By who? I have to disagree with your assumption that we can all afford this one!

      Might as well invest 3 to 5 GRAND in a better rifle scope then if you thing we all have THAT much cash laying around to blow on stuff like this.

      It’s a piece of crap … I bought it and returned it the next day ….WORTHLESS!!!

      Can get ATN thermal scope for $1800 and it is awesome.
      I am pretty sure this thing has custom integral batteries…one of the main reason I rejected FLIR products when I bought a scope…besides the price which I might have otherwise paid.

      This thing is just a toy , sucks in a wooded environment at a long range. Get what you pay for… spend the money, get what you pay for !

      Do you have an ability to operate the atn optics without any applications or computer input? I’ve been looking far and wide trying to locate a base model thermal optic with and on/off switch and little else.
      Thanks for that tip of proprietary batteries.. You’re right, that stinks.

    12. Bill Martin said:

      At that price point your better off with a flashlight. That I guarantee. Good optics worth having don’t come at 500.. not even.
