I’ve been getting into night hunting lately and I’m curious about thermal clip-on devices that can be paired with Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs). There are so many options out there, and I want to make sure I’m choosing the right one that fits my needs and budget.
What I’m Looking For
I’m especially interested in:
Compatibility: Which thermal clips work well with popular LPVO models?
Performance: How do different brands stack up in low-light conditions?
Price Points: What are the average costs for good quality thermal clip-ons?
User Experiences: I’d love to hear about your experiences with specific products. What worked for you, and what didn’t?
Additional Considerations
I also want to factor in:
Ease of Use: How intuitive is the setup process?
Weight: Will it add a significant amount of weight to my setup?
Durability: How well do they hold up in rugged outdoor situations?
If anyone has suggestions or personal experiences to share, it would be hugely appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
You’ll want to look for clip-ons with a good eyepiece diameter to ensure proper alignment. I recommend the ATN Thor 4; it’s versatile and compatible with most LPVOs.
Quick-release mounts are a game changer! I’ve used them on my LPVO setup and they improve flexibility when quickly switching between thermal and standard optics.
