So, $369, resolution 256 x 192, I used a similar one for a/c work, didn't have the handle or scope mount. Thermal uses different optics than a scope, or binoculars. 👍👍
Impressed by the frame rate! I have a normal thermal camera, like the handheld ones... and this beats it. While mine is already really well spec'd. Very nice! Although mine is use for hot parts on PCBs but still impressive!
Evening Gray, interesting gadget. My question...does the phone need to be connected to data or WiFi for the app to work or is it standalone...just download and go? Yes would be nice to have a an easier way to focus than big fingers turning a small lens..😂, but all said, I like that you hook up to phone, which we all carry, and don't have a separate operating device. 👍
Hey brother 👋 Yep no wifi needed it's a standalone app and that was my thought as well. I've even seen folks using this on tablets which had a bigger viewing window than your standard phone. I was very impressed with it especially the size and capabilities. 👍
I'm looking for a night vision camera to run safely across the lake before sunrise when bass fishing. This unit looks like it would work mounted to the boat windshield and connected to my phone in its console mount. If I have a wide view about half a mile forward this would be all I need.
How accurate is the temperature reading. i'd like to see a comparrison between temperature readouts on the expensive thermal cam you have and this one. Usually if it's that small you can't really put a lot of technology inside it there has to be something that's lacking on the small little camera. If you have a Flir One pro it's at a similar price point maybe compare it to the Flir.
Great video! You mentioned the range, or distance it would detect, then used an airplane 2 miles away…. Is it safe to assume that this should detect an animal at 300,400,500 yards? Maybe a coyote, deer, elk?
Thank you, and yes, absolutely. Since this video, we have gone out and seen deer in the fields as well as rabbits in the glen when we went up to north Georgia.
Easily. The only limitation is the size of the object and if something is in front of it. For example its hard to use in the woods because the trees block everything and you cant really use it to walk towards something cause it has a fixed zoom of like x2.
This is a wonderful camera and it works as good as the one of the name brand ones that I have at work. Like you said for the price point it's quite amazing.
sweet video, you had me 90% sold with your footage. i have been wanting one of these for like 10 years, and it appears that they can finaly do everything i want, i want to look at circuit boards, fuse boxes, warm foot steps, people in the woods, birds in the trees, live stock in the fields, the outside and inside of our homes for hvac purposes, my wired for my solar pv system and battery bank/inveter and the until i ordered came with a gun mount. when you showed the jet going over head i was like yep, this may be what i am getting. i have a pretty good size drone. i may mount the camera and a small phone on it and remote into the phone to access the infrared camera and app, but that manual focus could prove to be a problem in this application. but i got to start some where. i had to dig a bit to find the android version but i found it and the discount code worked too, the camera kit i chose was $429.99, the discount code was for $42 off, so a tad under $400 plus tax, will be here tomorrow thanks again
Why people are surprised about the price? Good thermal cameras have never ever been cheaper than 300$. It is expensive to manufacture them. Just like You can't buy a good phone for a cheap price. I personally would buy a used one to save money. I dont mind if the device has scratches as long as it works.
My pleasure, and they are out of stock again! The one I have is part of my kit now, and it is the older variation. They have since updated the product. Hopefully, they'll be back in stock soon. It's a very intuitive device and has come in handy multiple times.
So what’s the difference between the X2 and T2? This looks amazing? What’s the catch? Does it eat your phones battery or does the unit itself have a battery or what powers it
I ran that camera for hours with a samsung ultra 21 at the time of filming and it barely consumed any power. I have updated the links as they rebranded the name of the camera. I'll add that information down below. As for the T2 I'm not sure never used it. The camera has been renamed to the "Xinfrared One XH09" www.infiray.com/xh09-all-in-one-thermal-camera/
@@GreyManPrepping seems The hx09 is a manual focus and has a smaller view. Vs the t2 has auto focus and manual and has a wider view. I am Gonna go with t2. I ain’t when things don’t auto focus
@@xGR1MxREAPERx Agreed autofocus would definitely be much better! I reached out to the company today for some clarification and possible more collaboration options for comparison videos.

Question: the new iphones use a USB-C connection, so should iPhone owners buy the Android version, and will the unit function ok or should we wait until an iPhone USB-C version of this device comes out?
@thephototour1615 So, from talking with other viewers in the comment section, most have bought the type C option and are using the Apple app and stated the product works just fine. By ordering through the Amazon link, if for some reason it doesn't work, you can get a refund back within 30 days if I recall correctly. But I'd double-check on the Amazon Store front.
That's a badass little camera. I may look into that as a backup. When I was shopping for a new phone I found one that has night vision (and I think thermal) but I haven't played with all the features yet.
I was ready to jump in BUT, last week, I upgraded my IPhone 12 to the 16, which uses a USB-C. So, wondering if the Android IR camera version with a USB-C receptacle would work on my iPhone 16?
From what others have said on this video, they are buying the Android package as it's a type C connection, and it works just fine as the only thing that changes is the app you download to your phone and the connection which for most new apple's are type C
The problem is that the camera is dependent on an APP which will require updates over time. And what happens when the company discontinues the app because the company decides to go in a different direction.
They will never go out, they are the largest in the world and even if then it wont be removed from your phone automatically. And you can find the APK install files on google and just Install. No need for network. And updates are rarely needed except if you get a brand new phone or they add extra functions. Their app just works
If only they did a much higher resolution like 640x 480. That would make a real difference for DIY applications like finding what is behind a wall like wiring.
Maybe newer variations will increase the resolution values. This one was surprisingly good compared to several older and similar cameras out on the market.
@GreyManPrepping great video! one thing I need it to work for is searching for bees behind a wall or a log. Will if work through a surface like a wall or wood?
Thank you! Honestly, I'm not 100% sure as I haven't used it in that manner. That being said, I could see the studs behind the wall as they retain heat or cold depending on the time of day.
So, it looks very impressive. I however do not have even $400 for something like this. There are other, for me, more important areas the i am working on first. When/if those areas become less lacking, perhaps.
how is the performance this model comparable to the one of a built in thermal camera like from the "Ulefone Armor 25T Pro" (~380€) or a similiar phone in this price range? i was thinking about getting one of these phones but the thermal imaging feature seems more like a party gag than actually useful, at least regarding the videos i watched. these external cameras seem to perform way better, unfortunately they cost as much as the whole phone..
I owned the Armor 25T pro. Personally, the quality of this exceeds the 25T from the frame rate to the resolution. Much cleaner picture, and there are way fewer glitches in transitioning from the different modes as well.
I'll put their office location as well as their warranty link here, which goes into detail. Office: 39899 Balentine Drive, Ste 200, Newark 94560, California Warranty Information: www.xinfrared.com/pages/after-sales-service
Understandable, I looked around seems like the going prices for devices that are similar. I found one for about $275 but the reviews weren't great. Thank you for watching 😁👍
Most of the “Infrared/Thermal imaging” cameras that I’ve seen online that attach to cell phones only seem work with Android phones. Occasionally I’ll see one that mentions iPhones/ipads. Some reviews warn about sketchy apps and undesirable permissions so I’m still looking.
Cool little external sensor/add on. Is the app able to function/ display sensor data offline? more and more affordable alternatives and price drops should be coming on existing. I can already see someone rigging a housing from an airsoft dummy nvg using this, a micro lcd display, and a raspberry pi etec w/ external battery pack. That'll be cool to see too.
Yes, I used it with an older no connected phone, as well as a tablet we had laying around to see how well the screen size made a difference. Funny you mentioned airsoft my buddy said the same thing 🤣 Technology just seems to get more and more interesting. Thanks for watching Joe 👍
I have a T3. Unfortunately, its nominal resolution is not hardware-based; it uses some sort of upscaling function. Under certain conditions, this is quite noticeable. Be cautious with Chinese products; there are many instances of fraud and deception
@@tex1297 every single thermal camera is Chinese made. Even flir. By the way, the flir chips are used in some of the top don and other cheaper branded thermal cameras on aliexpress😬
@@itsAkkiii i disagree. One thing if they tell you, this is budget, this is what it can. And an another thig to lie and mislead you. Budget and fraud is two separate things.
@@itsAkkiii infaray is a known brand in Australia the scopes are $4-8k. These are just a lens/sensor package. You can get them with a weaver housing to mount on your firearm. And get a recital on them. You have to supply the computer/phone to drive it and give an image. Just don't buy from a sketchy source. But from infaray
In some of the video clips of homes, you can see the metal supports through the walls. Especially if it was a hot day. In a cold environment, I'm not sure. Maybe if the home is being heated and the metal is a higher temp than the drywall, it would contrast from the cooler drywall itself. 🤔
@@GreyManPrepping ok, thought so. I’m looking for flir to be used when driving in fog/darkness etc. for detecting animals on the road. So far found only devices costing USD 2-3000
You could mount the camera outside the vehicle, possibly to the top or bottom of the windshield in front of the driver. Then run a USB extension cable to the interior and plug into a phone or tablet. I use a snake camera with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 that sells for around $200 and suspect this would also work. You might need to find or fabricate a weather proof housing. The tablet might even work as a HUD with a semi-mirrored screen if the app allows image reversal. Good luck!
@Robert-Wilson Correct they keep both in case you have an older iPhone. I use the type C variation with my iPhone 16. The software "App" is still the same.
@dongkapuyawn5107 I haven't tried it, so I can't be sure. In my opinion, I think it wouldn't as metal could hide heat unless the metal itself was emitting heat.
Do you mean the FOV 19.63*14.71 Observation Distance 1.8m*2m i.e. deer at 551 yards (504 meters) Also the Thermal Sensitivity "NETD" is 40mK hopefully that helps if not please let me know.
As far as the research I've done OTG support is available but some devices do have issues. I have not tried to livestream the video from my phone. Something I should look into it. I know I can cast to a smart TV but the resolution wasn't as good as I'd would like. I reached out to Infiray for more technical information on this micro infrared camera, outside of the paperwork that it came with. My apologies for not being able to give you all the information you were looking for.
@@GreyManPrepping Thank you. The pixel 7 pro does not have OTG support, not even an option for it after entering developer mode. There are some faked videos on YT that say it does have it but it doesn't. These devices that use video or audio from the phones USB port generally don't publish if they work with all Android phones past a certain OS release and returns are high. They just say it works with Android phones. It's disingenuous at best. I don't buy products that can't give me a clear answer and they do know if it works or not. They just want to make the sale. I want to buy this camera but if the reviewer doesn't even know if it works then it's a no!
@@jaysunkreuze1466 I truly understand that. I agree I'd hate for you to purchase something and it not work for you. I do appreciate you watching the video. I hope you eventually find something that works for you. Have a great evening. 😁👍
@Josue-rd5gt They must have updated to the T2 it seems, but I did find it here. Walmart?

Have you played with it on a rifle? I would mount in on a 357 lever rifle for those pesky coyotes. --------------------------- You did an excellent job on the video coverage too.
@boogermeats Thanks! And yes, I set up a rig on a varmit. 22lr rifle for squirrels & and rabbits, and we've used it with possums & raccoons. Comes in very handy.
@everythingloud4068 Understandable, Yeah, I have used the two I have on phones that have no service and kind of dedicated them to running these devices. One phone is about 5 years old. So far, there are no issues on my end. Have a great day! 😁👍
Idk, if its only in the US but that the standard for the cheap phone ones, i have onde that's pretty much the same image quality and 100 dollars on aliexpress
@VirtualGobllim47 Possibly both from China regardless. I have an $1800 thermal scope on my rifle that's definitely much higher quality. But I was impressed with the size and capabilities of this unit. The ones on Temu are horrible.
I had that setting off while recording and had filmed already. So I just went with it instead of trying to start over. I had 4 days into this when I noticed it off. 🤦
It looks great. I used to have a phone-connected thermal camera from FLIR, but after about a year it simply stopped working, including the app. I'm also concerned that it looks to be of Chinese manufacture. Does the camera secretly send whatever you're viewing back to the mainland, so they can sort through various images, say, of military or utility installations, etc.? Yeah, I know, suspicious mind.
Funny enough, I had a similar conversation with someone else not too long ago. Most, if not all, electronics come from overseas, I did a deep dive on FLIR and saw that multiple companies have been involved with it several in China. It's a follow the money game. I think due to our governments decisions over the past several decades dang near everything comes from China or some shell company affiliated with them. Even our medications were shocking to me personally.
@@GreyManPrepping Glenn Beck and others have been railing on that point for several years. For your own peace of mind you might want to check out Jase Medical., particularly for antibiotics.
Honestly, there are several stand-alone products they can be purchased, like the KAIWEETS Thermal Imaging Camera, which I hope to showcase on the channel here in the next month or so. Here's a link if you'd like to look into it at your leisure. amzn.to/3YoxyuP
Absolutely brother, I'm thoroughly impressed with it I've been playing with it for about a month and it hasn't failed me yet. I looked into the company and they do large-scale thermal devices that are way out of my price range lol 😆
@wmnapier unfortunately I'm aware the name of the company was stuck in my head, which, for some odd ball, reason translated to infrared. I occasionally got back on track her and there saying thermal. After about 2 weeks, someone brought it to my attention, and I added a comment in the section under the video clarifying, but many folks don't look through the comments, lol but at this point I just accept my misstep and roll with it and answer any comment that reminds me of my wording 😅
@@GreyManPrepping No Problem just did not realize you were aware of the mistake, I knew what you were saying but just wanted others to know as well. I have done it a few times myself not realizing it until it was to late lol
@deanlarkins5858 I'm not sure if you'll get notified, but I tagged your user name in the comment section where I clarified this.

Most of the “Infrared/Thermal imaging” cameras that I’ve seen online that attach to cell phones only seem work with Android phones. Occasionally I’ll see one that mentions iPhones/ipads. Some reviews warn about sketchy apps and undesirable permissions so I’m still looking.
Cool little external sensor/add on.
Is the app able to function/ display sensor data offline?
more and more affordable alternatives and price drops should be coming on existing.
I can already see someone rigging a housing from an airsoft dummy nvg using this, a micro lcd display, and a raspberry pi etec w/ external battery pack. That'll be cool to see too.
Yes, I used it with an older no connected phone, as well as a tablet we had laying around to see how well the screen size made a difference. Funny you mentioned airsoft my buddy said the same thing 🤣 Technology just seems to get more and more interesting. Thanks for watching Joe 👍
@@GreyManPrepping yes Sir. Thankyou for sharing the find with the rest of us. 💜
I have a T3. Unfortunately, its nominal resolution is not hardware-based; it uses some sort of upscaling function. Under certain conditions, this is quite noticeable. Be cautious with Chinese products; there are many instances of fraud and deception
Thanks for the heads up!
@@tex1297 every single thermal camera is Chinese made. Even flir. By the way, the flir chips are used in some of the top don and other cheaper branded thermal cameras on aliexpress😬
Well, you pay for what you get. It’s the budget range where such products are marketed.
@@itsAkkiii i disagree. One thing if they tell you, this is budget, this is what it can. And an another thig to lie and mislead you. Budget and fraud is two separate things.
@@itsAkkiii infaray is a known brand in Australia the scopes are $4-8k. These are just a lens/sensor package. You can get them with a weaver housing to mount on your firearm. And get a recital on them. You have to supply the computer/phone to drive it and give an image. Just don't buy from a sketchy source. But from infaray
Can this be used in the daytime?
Yes, I used it during the day as well.
Quite a lil camera. Very impressed. Thanks for sharing😊
Thanks for watching Dee 💛🙏
That's amazing I've got to get one or two of these.
Agreed brother, I was truly shocked how we'll it performed 😎👍
WOW that little thing does wonders Grey 🙏❤️🙏
I was truly impressed 😁👍
Would it sense thru drywall to be able to see if theres metal objects on the other side
In some of the video clips of homes, you can see the metal supports through the walls. Especially if it was a hot day. In a cold environment, I'm not sure. Maybe if the home is being heated and the metal is a higher temp than the drywall, it would contrast from the cooler drywall itself. 🤔
Did you have the window down when filming from your car?
Yes, I did being that glass is a poor conductor of heat and does not emit any significant amount of infrared radiation for the camera to pick up.
@@GreyManPrepping ok, thought so. I’m looking for flir to be used when driving in fog/darkness etc. for detecting animals on the road. So far found only devices costing USD 2-3000
NV2 from xinfrared is around $600. No experience with it, just saw it when ordering one of these.
You could mount the camera outside the vehicle, possibly to the top or bottom of the windshield in front of the driver. Then run a USB extension cable to the interior and plug into a phone or tablet. I use a snake camera with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 that sells for around $200 and suspect this would also work. You might need to find or fabricate a weather proof housing. The tablet might even work as a HUD with a semi-mirrored screen if the app allows image reversal. Good luck!
Should be great for ghost 👻hunting and ufo spotting 🛸👽I just bought 1 I never owned one before can't wait to try it out they are cool gadget to have
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
my iphone 15 pro max, uses usb c, but the camera ios version uses lighting, can i use the andriod one, or does it have a different software?
@erickkang6385 I run a 16 pro max on my work phone, and the USB C works fine, as the software (App) is based on your app store
Will I just looked at it on Amazon and the one listed for iPhone must be way old. Not the right connector. iPhone use USB C since iPhone 15
@Robert-Wilson Correct they keep both in case you have an older iPhone. I use the type C variation with my iPhone 16. The software "App" is still the same.
Really cool stuff thank you Grey🕊️
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Can it see behind a metal plate? Trying to use it for automotive tshooting purposes
@dongkapuyawn5107 I haven't tried it, so I can't be sure. In my opinion, I think it wouldn't as metal could hide heat unless the metal itself was emitting heat.
so what is the maximum reading for this camera ?!
Do you mean the FOV 19.63*14.71 Observation Distance 1.8m*2m i.e. deer at 551 yards (504 meters) Also the Thermal Sensitivity "NETD" is 40mK hopefully that helps if not please let me know.
The Amazon link is not working
I've updated the link in the description, I'll update the one in the comment section as well. My apologies. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. 👍
Can we use this camera for mobile elektronic short finder?
From what I've researched, that was one of its intended purposes. I have a review coming out, I think, in late April, that may be more effective.
@@GreyManPrepping thanks i will be waiting for it
@@erdemilmenoglu636 My pleasure.
FLIR one Gen 3
have theirs on this months prime sale that just started at midnight for £145
That's a great deal! Thanks for sharing 👍
This could help me on my property.
It truly has a lot of different uses that would come in handy 😁👍
What permissions does the android app need> is it overly intrusive?
@jay_b.. Camera storage as it stores the footage on your phone.
Can I Livestream the video and does this require OTG support. I have a Google Pixel 7 pro which does not have OTG support.
As far as the research I've done OTG support is available but some devices do have issues. I have not tried to livestream the video from my phone. Something I should look into it. I know I can cast to a smart TV but the resolution wasn't as good as I'd would like. I reached out to Infiray for more technical information on this micro infrared camera, outside of the paperwork that it came with. My apologies for not being able to give you all the information you were looking for.
@@GreyManPrepping Thank you. The pixel 7 pro does not have OTG support, not even an option for it after entering developer mode. There are some faked videos on YT that say it does have it but it doesn't. These devices that use video or audio from the phones USB port generally don't publish if they work with all Android phones past a certain OS release and returns are high. They just say it works with Android phones. It's disingenuous at best. I don't buy products that can't give me a clear answer and they do know if it works or not. They just want to make the sale. I want to buy this camera but if the reviewer doesn't even know if it works then it's a no!
@@jaysunkreuze1466 I truly understand that. I agree I'd hate for you to purchase something and it not work for you. I do appreciate you watching the video. I hope you eventually find something that works for you. Have a great evening. 😁👍
I would love to see the rifle adaptor. Thank you!
I'll see if I can purchase one and do a follow-up down the road 😁👍
Looks like link to their US Amazon store is dead.
I orderd my monocular here www.infiray.com/
@@GreyManPrepping do you have a link to the exact one in your video? I’m not finding it, only the T2 Pro😅
@Josue-rd5gt They must have updated to the T2 it seems, but I did find it here. Walmart? Out of all places...

Really impressive 💯👏
Thank you!
Looks like a good option for drone spotting
@@Brykk That's an idea! I'll have to test that next time out. Thanks 👍
How much does it chew up your battery life?
Honestly, it wasn't really noticeable.
Thank you very much
You are welcome 😁👍
Don't forget Ghost hunting. Awesome video my youtube brother.. GregM from EXPLORING DARKNESS Ghost Media.
Thanks, brother! 😁👍
Very impressive device!
@@Warhawk76 Absolutely 😁👍
hi brother..how much is it? i like to have this camera we're always hunting wild chicken at night
The link is in a pinned comment and in the description. I think currently it's not on sale, and the retail price is $369
Yepp! I need one 😂 now to ask the wife lol
🤣 Roger that!
Have you played with it on a rifle? I would mount in on a 357 lever rifle for those pesky coyotes.
---------------------------
You did an excellent job on the video coverage too.
@boogermeats Thanks! And yes, I set up a rig on a varmit. 22lr rifle for squirrels & and rabbits, and we've used it with possums & raccoons. Comes in very handy.
Will this work with no service?
@everythingloud4068 The phone that I use it with has no service. You do need a way to download the app, like your home or public wifi.
@GreyManPrepping ok, I just wanted to make sure it would work up in the mountains before I purchased it
@everythingloud4068 Understandable, Yeah, I have used the two I have on phones that have no service and kind of dedicated them to running these devices. One phone is about 5 years old. So far, there are no issues on my end. Have a great day! 😁👍
This is impressive for $400.
@@Uncleprepper1 Agreed, I was thoroughly impressed. 👍
Idk, if its only in the US but that the standard for the cheap phone ones, i have onde that's pretty much the same image quality and 100 dollars on aliexpress
@VirtualGobllim47 Possibly both from China regardless. I have an $1800 thermal scope on my rifle that's definitely much higher quality. But I was impressed with the size and capabilities of this unit. The ones on Temu are horrible.
It's a dfib...might come in handy
thermal or ir hih one is it?
@@aass-q6k I addressed this in the comments 6 months ago. It's thermal
Doesn't show temperatures?
I had that setting off while recording and had filmed already. So I just went with it instead of trying to start over. I had 4 days into this when I noticed it off. 🤦
05:02 you can even record ufo by accident with this camera 😂
@konradm.374 Absolutely, lol 😆
It looks great. I used to have a phone-connected thermal camera from FLIR, but after about a year it simply stopped working, including the app. I'm also concerned that it looks to be of Chinese manufacture. Does the camera secretly send whatever you're viewing back to the mainland, so they can sort through various images, say, of military or utility installations, etc.? Yeah, I know, suspicious mind.
Funny enough, I had a similar conversation with someone else not too long ago. Most, if not all, electronics come from overseas, I did a deep dive on FLIR and saw that multiple companies have been involved with it several in China. It's a follow the money game. I think due to our governments decisions over the past several decades dang near everything comes from China or some shell company affiliated with them. Even our medications were shocking to me personally.
@@GreyManPrepping Glenn Beck and others have been railing on that point for several years. For your own peace of mind you might want to check out Jase Medical., particularly for antibiotics.
I'm affiliated with Jase 👍
What are you supposed to use if I don't have a phone
Honestly, there are several stand-alone products they can be purchased, like the KAIWEETS Thermal Imaging Camera, which I hope to showcase on the channel here in the next month or so.
Here's a link if you'd like to look into it at your leisure.
amzn.to/3YoxyuP
It doesn’t appear to have the range. That’s what typically separates the expensive tools from the cheaper tools.
@inter-linked The range, like dynamic, resolution, or distance. I did pick up that plane at night that was truly surprising to me personally.
Have to to say it's impressive for the price point. Would be a great tool to have .
Absolutely brother, I'm thoroughly impressed with it I've been playing with it for about a month and it hasn't failed me yet. I looked into the company and they do large-scale thermal devices that are way out of my price range lol 😆
Where can I get this
I put links in the description as well as a pin comment.
You keep saying Infra Red, its Thermal not IR. IR use's a IR flash light or other IR source.
@wmnapier unfortunately I'm aware the name of the company was stuck in my head, which, for some odd ball, reason translated to infrared. I occasionally got back on track her and there saying thermal. After about 2 weeks, someone brought it to my attention, and I added a comment in the section under the video clarifying, but many folks don't look through the comments, lol but at this point I just accept my misstep and roll with it and answer any comment that reminds me of my wording 😅
@@GreyManPrepping No Problem just did not realize you were aware of the mistake, I knew what you were saying but just wanted others to know as well. I have done it a few times myself not realizing it until it was to late lol
@wmnapier Np at all, I appreciate it, really. 😁👍
No matter how you slice it, thermal and infrared, are two completely different things.
@deanlarkins5858 I'm not sure if you'll get notified, but I tagged your user name in the comment section where I clarified this. Sometimes, with all the information at hand, we "humans" will miss speak and add the clarification in an added comment or in the description of the video. As they say 💩 happens sometimes, lol 😆
Neat
It really is brother 😁
Will it fit a galaxy a14 5g phone
If it takes a type c input, then I'd say yes, but double check on the sight if anything. I know they have a type c version and an apple plug version.
Cheap alternative or backup for nods/thermal. Now imagine coupling that with a laser for showing location of targets, i mean hunting.
🤣 yes hunting and I agree a nice cheap compact backup. Thanks Wolf 👍
