Habrok question

[Jh1986]

Would love to share my two cents on this question.

I used to always stalk with a guide who would use the thermal, I would follow up with traditional glass to get my bearings before taking aim.

When I started going out solo I thought it would be easy to incorporate the use of a thermal with my existing set up but unfortunately you’d need about 4 hands. Holding sticks, rifle sliding off your shoulder, binos and thermal add in a LRF your pockets are full and your carrying so much stuff

It is an undeniable truth that no digital scope will rival glass at 8x or 10x magnification

But compromising some clarity at 11x (middle magnification on habroks) is a fair trade off to have everything in one hand

LFR is great, 4.3-22x zoom is great, I have 25s and thermal Chanel is sufficient to spot an animal if I was buying again I would get 35s but not for the increased sensor I would primarily want a wider field of view.

At low light they are incredible and don’t forget they also have night vision with incorporated IR

I will attach two images I took on them on Saturday in pitch black

the rest are to give you an idea of clarity at different magnifications. I enjoy them so much I find myself going out without the rifle a lot more

This. Exactly this.

This bit especially, spoke so much to me (before I got Habrok)

Is the thermal function in the Habroks as good as a stand alone thermal device. I have a Pulsar XQ35 and it’s incredibly unreliable so just want to know if the thermal function in Habrok is just as good

not bashing, just for sake of curiosity, but I wonder why the xq35 doesn't fit You qnymore. I have both Xq35 and Habrok hq35o (upgraded model with 4k optical sensor). For stalking I obviously prefer the Hikmicro as I can have on handy everything needed for a fast identify and shot. but I didn't got reed ot the pulsar althought mine Is the non pro version. I always have it in bundle with my leica binos when goig roes. thermal wise the pulsar has a lower sensor than the Hik but enaught to know what is around you and tackle It with with the binos and the scope as soon as there is enaugh light l. In foggy and misty weather It seems to me able to pick up also pale termals shadows. mind we cannot shoot roes with thermal or night vision devices here. so having to use only an optical scope on the gun I must accept some limits. No restrictions on boars or other critters
