We have, information will be available on our website next week, including pricing and the full model range. We hope to start selling them in mid-June, and I will also update the information on this forum.
Screen was from Argos Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 and base came from Amazon, setup works perfect and screen clips over the gear stick in motor lol.

Thank you
Very nicely done there.
Harumph - I finally got my dyslexic brain in gear: focus is great on the scopeI The view through the near eye viwer is great. Its the video recording and hotspot thats the low focus I should have wrote.
This should have been a reply to Nick.308 - my brain fade again lol.

Would these work on fixed mag scopes and variable non Parallax adjustable scopes when front mounted?
Only really if the fixed mag is very low. 8x56 would work but generally you want 2.5-4x as a starting base mag with front thermal.
Can't agree with you HJ. I've been using my Thermion 2 with a 384 sensor for 5yrs on a 223 for foxes & no problem at up to 200+ yds. and often on base mag of 3.5 , occasionaly 7x.
So the gents at @Immersive Optics have got their front add‑on hardware nearly ready for sale, but as I already had the requisite bits sitting around, I thought I would have a go at setting it up myself.
First bits I used were the two items from Rusan:
krale.shop
krale.shop
But I believe that you can use the standard Hik‑issued adapters instead, if you can find them.
opticswarehouse.co.uk
opticswarehouse.co.uk
opticswarehouse.co.uk
Or one of these:
waidmann-shop.com
You then need one of the HIK‑issued adapters that allow the scope to become a front clip‑on. It 100% won’t work without one of these, and they are discontinued. I believe that, unless you are random like me, you are going to have to wait for @Immersive Optics to release their version later this month. This little adapter, apart from making the threads all function with the scope adapters above, also has a magnet that tells the unit to go into clip‑on mode.
When I got the whole thing built I had a fully working front clip‑on, but the image was a blur, making the image and menus unreadable. This is where @Immersive Optics really come into their own, because despite me going this alone and using all manner of bits that hadn’t been sourced from them (apart from the actual thermal), they have been providing a constant flow of support by email and phone for the last three days. In the end I had to strip apart the Hik conversion device with a very small Phillips head and a 0.9 mm Allen key and wind the magnifying lens in further to get a focused image. Once this was done everything worked perfectly. A quick image calibration by lining up the crosshairs, and I now have what must be the cheapest front clip‑on going at a total outlay of £504. New front clip‑ons from HIK, Nocpix and Pixfra all start at £1,300+ and you generally need to buy adapters on top of this cost for another £150‑ish.

you have definitely never looked though a senopex a7 then
384 and will id a fox further then most 1280 available
In that case, you are definitely welcome to post a video from the Senopex 384 here.
It just sounds odd that a 384×288 pixel sensor array could somehow capture a scene better than a 1280×920 pixel array. That would be something out of this world — although miracles do happen.
Video, please, if you don’t mind.
The Senopex A7 with it's 7x base mag is a very capable scope and out to crazy ranges. Used one for a good while before moving upto the S10, had no problems shooting fox out to 400 yards
very hard to show you what the image looks like on the senopex as the video quality is absolutely rubbish
. lots of vids on YouTube, just remember the image through the scope is alot better thoughthey have great target detail one night i was looking at a fox 750 yards away in good condition and you could see its tail bone
they have great target detail but a very washed out background detail
How much are they? It would only be fair to compare them £ for £.
75mm F1.0 objective - against 35mm F1.0 , do you think it is a fair comparison to put them side by side? How much is it?very hard to show you what the image looks like on the senopex as the video quality is absolutely rubbish

Not rubbishing the Nordforce love mine and will be getting another, just replying to the above com. they are about the best long range thermal about for not mega bucks.
I never did compare it against the nordforce ?
I think you have the wrong end of the stick
Thank you for explaining, appreciate it.
