First off there couldn’t be a better dude to do this video! Night Crew👍. This scope is amazing. Unfortunately at that price point I will never be able to have one.
Great explanation of the 1280 resolution benefits hunters. It sure is expensive but that's typically the case for the latest and greatest tech products. Glad to see InfiRay raise the bar for thermal in the hunting community and open the door for this next gen thermal for hunters.
What an absolutely incredible video. The visual effect as well as the audio and selected soundtracks really set this apart as one of the best marketing videos I’ve ever seen for a truly revolutionary product. While I will never be able to afford the new thermal scope (I have two daughters in college) I did want to relay my thoughts and congratulations to the marketing team at IRay as well as the executives for a presentation that is not only informative but actually makes me want to watch it repeatedly. Well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have the RH50 and paid the $6k and it’s worth that and I could see $9k or $10k but I feel that Iray is just pricing it because it’s the first and there taking advantage of that instead of making it affordable for the average hunting man
That's exactly what they're doing. And I regards to military contracts. They could easily have two price points...like when doctors, it companies are charging insurance companies for procedures or products, versus charging citizens. Same operating procedure when selling the military something. Make a slight "military grade" adjustment...and double the price. Fo I like that in principal? Hell no. But if it'll keep my prices down... alrighty then.
Most in this case I would constitute as a relative term. Most civilians could buy better than a beater for a daily commute. This is like government level pricing.
Incredible clarity. I bet they are not cheap. I remember my early military days with Starlight scopes, before IR came along, it was like looking through snow and fog on a rifle that was now so heavy and cumbersome, you needed a crane. Seeing in the dark has progressed a long way.
So I wouldn't consider myself an expert in thermal and night vision....but I'm having a hard time thinking of the need for traditional night vision...with thermal THIS vivid. Can you enlighten me?? I feel like I can see literally everything out there in the dark....plus I can see heat too. Thanks for taking the time to explain what I'm apparently missing. 🙏
@@itsaboutTime2revolt I’ve never attempted to walk with just a 1x magnification thermal so I don’t really know how viable that it but you 100% won’t be able to drive with thermals due to the glass, it’s just hard to beat the energy efficiency, no input lag and 40deg view for movement, thermal is definitely the stronger of the two when it comes to kill shots and spotting 100% but they really do work together like peanut nut butter and jelly
I still stand behind you lost me at 2x. As a coyote hunter I want that resolution at 3-3.5x magnification. I scan with a handheld and rarely look through the rifle optic until I'm shooting. So I'm going to be jumping on magnification to shoot and immediately lose that 1280 sweetness. I agree it accommodates a larger crowd. The equalizer of resolution is optical magnification.
Great video wish I had the 18 k to get one. I'm still learning the sightmark wraith 2-16x28 with the IR light set up. Yes I'm just getting into night hunting. I made extra battery packs for the scope. It will kill 4 AA batteries just sitting turned off. How long do the batteries in this scope last? What kind does it take? And does it have an external power supply for it?
soon enough there will be 2560 and 5120's at 60/120/144/240 hz maybe even higher for slow motion capability's at that point because why not anything can be possible when you work hard enough on something and have another force to drive you to keep doing your best
On the pig you missed(11 26) if you slow the playback down in setting you probably gave its chest hairs a trim lol,but what a scope,a spotter with this tech would be amazing
Magnification isn't a 640 thing. 2x is ok but if you restrict your max digital resolution to keep things pretty, you're not helping coyote hunters. With 1280 a 12-14x digital magnifier would be flipping awesome. It's not something we want to shoot on but it gives you a bigger animal to shoot out past 300. I ran into the same issue with the Rico series in both 384 and 640. Not comparing the Halo for any other reason other than target size I am taking a 3.5x base mag and multiplying it x8 for those 300 yard shots. I'm not against your 2x, I'm against your top end. My shots are always going to be easier at 28x. And a dead coyote means more to me than the pixelated image I shot it with. If I'm wrong, please explain. I'm ok with being wrong.
@@iRayUSA Thank you! I have been asking this for a week and nobody has given me this answer. All video of the 1280 has not shown what it looks like on max magnification. I have asked techs countless times to add a higher digital multiplyer to the Rico series. Deaf ears. I wish you guys the best. It's a beautiful unit and I hope manufacturer costs could bring it down to us fixed income recreation hunter prices. Thank you for the clarification. Wish you guys the best.
Minute mark 12:32 of this video LISTEN to the Man !!!! I see so much misinformation and speculation online regarding what scopes can and can’t do and sometimes user error is taken as gospel by folks who have never held or used a scope. I make it a point to buy a scope and use it and make my own determination on its performance capabilities and then sale it - IF I lose money it’s almost like renting the unit and I consider it worth the charge to have first hand knowledge. This scope would certainly be a bit more difficult to do this with - I understand that - what I’m saying is listen to his advice and take mine and do this with the lower cost thermals and thank me (us) later!
@@shawnshannon1635 I am 100% paying attention. The purpose of me buying a 1280 as a dedicated rifle scope would be to have a 1280 image at a base mag that I prefer which is 3x-4x. For that reason, I think this as a scanner outside of its size would be ideal being you are on a scanner 90% of the time. Again, this is for ME not everyone.
I tried to get my wife into hunting for 10 years and she wanted nothing to do with it. She hated all of the work that goes into it. When she found out she could mount a gun on a tripod, see the animals and shot them without a chance of seeing her and then walk a maximum of 200 yards she was all in. Now she can’t get enough of it! She convinced two of her friends to go and they love it too. The three of them go out
Whatever happened to knowing your target and what’s beyond it. Nice farm house in the background on your coyote kill. Hope the farmer had his daughters tucked away in the basement. Amazing how normally safe shooters loose their judgement when hunting at night. 😢
I knew I shouldn't have watched this damn video. It's insanely amazing. Like boner worthy levels of beauty. It's like test driving the Ferrari you damn well know you can't afford...and then driving back home in your '99 Taurus. It's a dumb idea. But I'd have to get a divorce, to even buy one at the 1/2 off price of $9,000!! Now, don't get me wrong....I'd totally sign those papers as fast as I could, if it meant getting one of these at $9k. But yeah... that'll never happen.
Yeah I just looked it up and 13% of people have 10-20k in savings. They can’t be selling many of these. The markup has got to be insane for these. I get it… it’s HD and first of its kind but c’mon. And I was so pissed they ended at see part 2. Get to the damn point already. People could give a shit less about the theatrics production value of the video. Give me the f’n specs and hunting footage. Pissed me off so bad I was inbetween really splurging for one of these or saving the money and getting a pulsar thermion 2 LRF. Pulsar here I come!
It's a rich man's scope, there's 10 times as many of us poor people that will go buy a 3 to 4 thousand dollar scope and get just as many animals. Your competitors will out sell you because they can afford there products
Please stop discussing base magnification. It is a subjective impression and depends heavily in display size and eye relief. You should be focusing on 2 values, angle of view (e.g. in meters at 100m distance) and the DMR, the resolution of a single pixel. For the Rico (and I don't have the datasheet yet) the DMR is supposed to be 1.6cm per pixel at 100m. This is a result of pixel pitch and focal length, not resolution. Compare it to the Pulsar Thermion XP50 series, they provide a DMR of 3.4cm per pixel at 100m. What does that mean? if you look at an 'rectangular animal' (easier to calculate) with 1m x 50cm then the Pulsar shows 385 pixels. The Rico shows 1953 pixels. That is 5 times as many. Interestingly: the field of view is quite the same with approx. 21m at 100m. THIS is a result of resolution, of number of pixels. And this is why both have about the same base magnification but way different performance. Aside from other factora like sharpness and noise, of course. So please, with sugar on top, stop discussing base magnification. Thank you By the way: amazing video! love it
