Bry-M Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Realised I'd left the thermovision camera in my van (was meant to return it to the stores at work!). I've only ever used it during the day (condition monitoring - checking for hot joints) so was curious how it would work in the pitch black looking for rabbits Sadly it was bloody freezing tonight, but I was impressed how well I was able to see just using the camera. It's a weird feeling walking round the fields and paths in complete darkness, relying just on the camera to see where you're going! Unfortunately it seemed to cold and frosty for the bunnies, this field you are normally guaranteed to see at least a couple at any given time: I did however spot this fella on my travels: The distance is deceptive, as the camera has a fixed zoom (not sure how much, enough to make it a bit tricky to navigate with just using it, had to keep remembering 'objects appear closer than they actually are' when reaching out to open gates:p) The rabbit was probably 150yds away maybe. Due to the frosty ground though, every footstep sounded like I was murdering a bag of hula hoops! 'crunch crunch crunch' Little ****** scarpered before I could get him in range :( Quick check on the horses... When it's no so freezing cold I'll definitely be forgetting to return the camera again on a Friday. Just need to work out a way now to use it with a scope...

Bry-M Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I had the visor fitted as well to minimise the screen glow. Just seen how much this thing costs, i'd best be damn careful with it if i borrow it again, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyblanco Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just checked the price too, I think you should steal it and then sell it on cheaply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3vert Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 We use these (all be it a different brand) in the service and they are fantastic bits of kits, they do cost a small fortune though so best not to break it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
