FLIR Breach PTQ136 - Worth it.

5.0

A great, handheld thermal imager. No magnification, so you can walk around a building, on trails, etc and not trip over everything. Lots of different color options for the views, but I'm old fashioned and like the white hot or black hot best. The size of the unit itself is TINY, it almost looks like a toy when you first take it out of the box. Comes with a nice nylon carrying case with MOLLE straps on the back to connect it to your gear. This is more of a "backyard and immediate area" imager than "wow, see that guy walking four blocks away?" kind. Compared to bigger (and more expensive) scopes it's range is a bit limited. Within about the length of a football field you could identify a target as a person; beyond that and you'll most likely see that."something" is generating heat but have a hard time identifying it. I'm happy with it. It's so small I can just chuck it in my pocket and forget about it, and it will be there when I need it. I've been using "Surefire" brand CR123 lithium batteries and haven't had any power problems or short working times. If you get one, don't forget to register it with FLIR on their website; it's easy and I believe it doubles the warranty time. Have fun!
