On Ep. 411 of The Late Night Vision Show, we review the Nocpix Vista S50R 1280 ultra high-resolution thermal monocular. This is the first ever 1280 handheld thermal on the market. With a 2x base magnification, LRF built into the lens, an incredible image clarity and a surprisingly aggressive price point, this unit is shaking up the thermal monocular market. Hans and Jason break down real world use, ID range, image quality and whether the Vista S50R lives up to the hype.

Tonight on The Late Night Vision Show we’re reviewing the AGM Rattler V3 25-384 thermal rifle scope. This is a compact and affordable option built for hog and predator hunters. With a 384 resolution sensor, 2.5x base magnification, larger higher resolution display screen, and improved thermal sensor, the new Rattle V3 brings several updates over the previous Rattler V2 models. We discuss image quality, real world hunting performance, and whether the V3 25-384 is the right thermal for your needs.

On Ep 409 of the podcast Hans and Jason discuss predator hunting tournaments and the push in several states over the last decade that has successfully led to these contests being outlawed. While this isn’t a trend we think will spread to all states immediately, it is something we as night hunters need to be aware of and pay close attention to. Rights that aren’t defended can be slowly lost. Tune in for this discussion and feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below.
