Ep. 291 - Entry Level Thermal Scopes Best of 2023
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.

Ep. 288 - Dual Purpose Thermal Optics
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.

Ep. 287 - Coyote Night-Vision/Thermal Season Setups - $3K Budget
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.

Ep. 286 - Pulsar Thermion 2 XL50 LRF *1024* - Full Review
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.

Ep. 285 - Do you need a laser range finder?
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.

Ep. 284 - Deer Season Preview - Fall 2023
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.

Ep. 282 - AGM Adder TS35-640 & TS50-640 Thermal Scope Review
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!

Ep. 281 - Hog Thermal Setups $5K Budget
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!

Ep. 280 Coyote Thermal Season Setups $5K Budget
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.

Ep. 278 - Balancing Family, Work, and Night Hunting
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.

Ep. 275 - Pulsar Talion XQ35 Pro Thermal Scope Review
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.

Ep. 274 - InfiRay Outdoor Hybrid 640 50mm Review - iRay USA
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.

Ep. 271 - Pulsar Thermion Duo DXP55 Day/Night Rifle Scope Review
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.

Ep. 262 - Are Hunting Tournaments Ruining the Sport?
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?

Ep. 255 - Scope Form Factors and Battery Systems
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. Many people don’t know what is going to be best for their particular rifle set up and hunting situation, so for them, picking out a scope, design and battery system is like throwing a dart at a dartboard. On this episode, Hans and Jason lay out the differences in both scope designs and battery pack options. Hopefully this will help some buyers who are confused and overwhelmed with the choices.

Ep. 254 - Pulsar Thermion Duo DXP50 Thermal/Day Scope Review
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.

Ep. 252 - iRay Rico GL35 Thermal Scope Review
While we’re only a few months into 2023 the new thermal optics are already rolling in and we’re reviewing them as fast as we can. This week we’ve got another great addition to that iRay/Infiray lineup with the Rico GL35. This is the sibling to the Rico GL35R with a laser range finder that we’ve already reviewed but the GL35 is retailing at a very affordable $2,999 and offers some of the best battery life we’ve ever seen. If you’re looking for a midrange thermal with a fantastic price, the Rico GL35 needs to be on your short list.
