Overview
The FLIR Scout II and Scout TK are both excellent thermal monoculars in their own right, but have very different specifications and corresponding performance.
The Scout II starts at minimum with 240 x 180 pixel array, going up to 640 x 512 pixels. The Scout TK has a 160 x 120 focal plane array. Compared to the Scout II at the low end, the Scout TK has fewer than half as many pixels. At the high end, the Scout II has a whopping 17 times pixel count. Number of pixels has a direct relationship to image quality, so it’s important, but the cost savings the Scout TK provides more than makes up for its lower performance.
The Scout II will also detect targets much further than the TK, 400 yards versus 100 yards. The Scout II is rated to IP67 and submersible, where the TK is not. You’ll have all of the same features in the TK including image and video capture, selectable color palettes, and long life rechargeable battery. Ultimately, the Scout II is designed for more professional use than the TK, but they both have much to offer.
