Thermal spotter recommendations

[Nick1976]

Apologies all, I'm sure this subject has been done to death, but I'm looking to buy my first thermal spotter. Can justify around £1,500. Mostly for roe stalking on farmland/some woodland. What would anybody recommend?

New or secondhand?

New or secondhand?

Would consider SH if in good condition.

I know someone selling a SH one. If not, go for Hik or Pulsar.

I'm selling a Pulsar quadlite XQ23v which had new internals in October

I just spent a while looking into what's available in thermals across the different brands

It seems a decent time to pick up a good (in the price bracket around 1.5- 2k when new ) second hand one at under a grand

4k Habroks and V2 of some of the lines with larger display sensors have come out recently but the sensor tech isn't massively improved so 3-4 year old top end are still a good buy compared to what is out there now

Failing that HIK seems to have the best value for money at the moment

Do have a think about merger or accolade types or separate spotter and binos

All you need. Uncomplicated, reliable and very good at spotting deer…….and foxes.

Blackwoods are doing a deal on a new Infiray FH35 for £1299, I’ve got one, pretty decent.

I have the Habrook 4K 50L but I'm looking for a handheld with a wider field of view for woodland.
Had a look at the Nocpix Lumi H35R at the Game Fair and was very impressed at its performance for such a compact unit.

I have the Pulsar XQ38F and its spot on, good field of view and easy ID, whats not to like

Infiray Finder 2 H35RF: all you’ll ever need to carry in one small and very useable package. Excellent lens. Change for a guided stalk too.
