The time has come for the kick off of our "Best Optics of 2023" show series as usual we're getting started with one of the most popular categories that we call "Entry Level Thermal". The issue is that we hate to call most of these scopes "entry level" because the quality is so good but they are on the bottom of the price list for quality thermal. But honestly, the under $3,000 price category just keeps getting better and better and more expensive optics are seeing price drops and getting pushed into this category. On this show Hans and Jason will pick their personal favorites from the list and let you know what they like and why. Stay tuned because they'll offer this same format in all the price categories all the way to the top end of thermal and for digital NV and handheld thermal as well.

As we approach the holidays and the final weeks of 2023 we wanted to squeeze in one final review and we made it a big one! On this episode Jason and Hans are reviewing the new Pulsar Telos XP50 and XP50 LRF thermal monocular. This brad new model line is replacing the very popular and long standing Helion handheld line up.

On Ep. 288 of The Late Night Vision Show Jason and Hans discuss the topic of using a thermal rifle scope as both a scope and a handheld thermal for scanning. On last week's show they talked about more budget friendly options for buying a thermal monocular and a digital night vision scope but many people still prefer to spend their money on a single thermal optic and then possibly buy a dedicated thermal scanner later. On this show they will lay out the pros and cons of using a single optic as both a scanner and scope and also list off some models of each brand that are best suited as dual purpose optics.

Often times we get phone calls from customers who are looking to find a high quality, yet affordable combination of a night vision and a thermal handheld. The benefit of this setup is being able to use the thermal monocular for quick detection of animals and using the night vision scope for positively identifying and shooting the animal. This is an excellent combo for hunters on a somewhat tighter that budget that doesn't quite allow them to purchase two thermals but it still gives them the best of both worlds, identification and quick detection. Listen as Hans and Jason offer suggestions on both night vision scopes and thermal handheld combos.

While we get to review tons of new and improved scopes, it's not often we get to review a scope that we'd say was revolutionary to the thermal or NV industry. Today, however, we can make that claim. Hans and Jason are proud to introduce the brand new Pulsar Thermion 2 XL50 1024x768 thermal rifle scope! Yes that's right, 1024 thermal sensor resolution.

On this episode we are re-visiting a topic we discussed over a year ago but it's such a common question, we decided it was worth discussing again. The question comes up multiples time per day, with customers asking if they should be considering a thermal scope with an included laser range finder. This week we take the time to discuss this topic and offer some suggestions on when a laser range finder is very helpful and when it's probably unnecessary.

It's hard to believe it's that time again already but as fall is in full swing, whitetail deer seasons begin opening all across the US. It's become an annual tradition on The Late Night Vision Show for Hans and Jason to dedicate a show each fall to deer hunting and discuss how digital night vision optics with high resolution, full color day time modes can be used for deer hunting and how adding a thermal optic to your gear bag could change the way you deer hunt. If your curious how any of the optics could help you this deer season, then you won't want to miss this episode!

All 5 models just had a price drop for fall and these already affordable thermals, just got even more affordable.

Sometimes when looking over lists of optics Hans and Jason come to realize they somehow missed reviewing a scope. This time, they found 2 scopes they missed! This week on the podcast they will be playing catch-up and reviewing both the AGM Adder TS35-640 & TS50-640 thermal rifle scopes. These scopes have been on the market for awhile and are extremely popular for many reasons but the common theme you'll hear repeated multiple times in this show is "value for the dollar". When you combine the warranty, the free American Defense mount, the image quality and the features, the Adders deserve a very hard look when it comes time to make a scope purchase. Check out this review and let us know what you think!

We’re back this week with a viewer requested show. Last week on Ep. 280 we gave suggestions for thermal handheld and thermal rifle scope combos under $5,000 for coyote hunters. Then someone suggested we do a similar show for hog hunters. So that’s what we’re going to do on this episode; we’ll list our suggestions for thermal monoculars and thermal rifle scopes that you can combine for a total of a $5,000 budget. We hope you enjoy this show and if you’d like to see a similar show for other price ranges, just let us know!

One critical piece of equipment for night hunting is a a thermal handheld scanner. Because of this many coyote hunters want to buy both a thermal monocular and thermal rifle scope at the same time but fit it into a certain budget. Today Hans and Jason offer suggestions on thermal handhelds and thermal rifle scopes that will compliment each other well and fit into a $5,000 total budget for both optics combined. We hope this gives coyote hunters a good starting place for optics to consider when looking for a monocular and scope combo.

A topic and question that comes up a lot is how we manage late nights of hunting with family life, work schedules and lack of sleep. On this episode Hans and Jason talk about how they try to maintain busy work schedule, family time and night hunting, all while keeping a good balance and not neglecting the really important aspects of life but still getting plenty of hours in the field after dark. Everyone's schedules are different and not everyone has the luxury of hunting close to home, so sometimes that means cramming as much hunting into one or two nights as possible. For others it's possible to get a few hours in several times a week. Hans and Jason offer their thoughts on the subject and explain how they try to keep a good healthy balance in their lives.

In our opinion the only thing better than a really good thermal scope is when the manufacturer improves it to make it even better. This week we review the Pulsar Talion XQ35 Pro which is the new replacement for the extremely popular Talion XQ38. While maintaining the same great price of $2499 and all the same features, Pulsar put a new upgraded thermal sensor in the scope, giving it an even better image quality than before that will definitely show its true improvement in wet, humid poor conditions. Check out this review to learn all about the new Talion XQ35 Pro.

As InfiRay Outdoor continues to innovate and bring more optics to the market, this week we present to you the Rico Hybrid. While this unique optic looks and functions exactly as any normal thermal rifle scope does, it can also be placed in front of a glass daytime traditional rifle scope and be used as a "clip-on". This allows the daytime scope sees through the thermal sensor, thus turning your daytime scope into a temporary night optic. The Hybrid offers some of the best 640 high resolution thermal image quality you can find on the US market today and with it's 3x base magnification, it is an excellent scope for predator and coyote hunters and even many hog hunters. The Hybrid also comes with iRay USA's 5 year warranty and service. Tune in as Jason and Hans offer their opinions on this new scope and they give an honest review of how it functions as not just a thermal scope but also a clip-on.

One of the biggest perks of Hans and Jason's job is getting to test all the newest thermal technology as it comes to the hunting and outdoor market. On this episode they are reviewing the new multi-spectral Pulsar Thermion Duo DPX55 thermal rifle scope. So what does multi-spectral mean? It means this scope has both a high resolution 640 thermal sensor AND a full color 4K resolution digital daytime sensor in one scope housing. This allows the DXP55 to function fully as both a daytime hunting optic and a night hunting thermal optic. Watch as they review this scope and offer up the comparison between it and the new Thermion Duo DXP50 and let you know the similarities and differences in these two great new scopes.

As we enter into the summer slowdown of night hunting, often considered the “off season” by many, Jason and Hans take some time to answer common questions about how to care for your thermal or NV optic, batteries, how to clean it, store it etc. Some hunters, depending on their local laws or their hardcore dedication to night hunting might not have a real “off season” but there is still good practices for maintaining a night scope to ensure it performs its best for a long as possible.

Are hog and predator hunting tournaments bad for the sport of night hunting? This is an interesting discussion that Hans and Jason discuss on today's show. Some hunters contend they are bad for the sport because they give anti-hunters more fuel to throw at the sport, while others say the tournaments decimate the hog and predator populations. On the other side of the coin many hunters see the tournaments are a fun competition for something they are already out doing and a great way to introduce new hunters to the sport. Where do you fall? Watch this weeks podcast and let us know what you think!

When it comes to buying a new thermal or night vision optic there is a lot of confusion and questions around the different body, styles of optics, as well as the different types of battery pack systems.

On this episode of the podcast Jason and Hans are excited to review yet another new and amazing advance in night optics. This week we review the Pulsar Thermion Duo DXP50, that is the first hunting rifle scope to combine both a high end 640 resolution thermal optic with a 4K ultra high resolution day time optic. With this single scope you have the option of one of the best 2x base magnification thermal images on the market today and/or an amazing 4K full color daytime image at 2x base magnification as well. And if that's not enough, Pulsar built in the ability to quickly switch between the two technologies and even allows you to use both at the same by enabling the Picture in Picture feature at the top of the screen. This lets you view the opposite spectrum in the PiP as what you're viewing in the main screen. Does this sound confusing? Trust us, it's not at all, and it's one of the easiest scopes on the market to operate. Watch this review to see actual footage from the field in both day and night conditions to see what the scope is truly capable of.

On this episode Jason and Hans bring you the full field review of the new but long awaited Pulsar Thermion 2 XG50 LRF thermal rifle scope. So many night hunters are looking for a high end 640 resolution thermal scope with a 3x base magnification and for the last year Pulsar hasn't had a scope in their line up to compete in that category. But now, everything changes.

One of the main missions of The Late Night Vision Show is to bring hunters and shooters helpful information, reviews and news. On this episode we're doing just that. We are glad to welcome back to the podcast Mr. Jim Willi of the Willi Law Firm in Austin Texas. Jim is one of the nations premiere attorneys when it comes to knowledge of the National Firearms Act (NFA), gun trusts, supressors, short barrel rifles, pistols and other NFA items. Jim visits with Hans and Jason today to discuss the recent changes the ATF has handed down concerning pistol braces and he helps explain what the average gun owner needs to know about these very muddy waters and how they can be navigated safely so no laws are broken.  If you own an AR-15 pistol this show is a must watch/listen.
