What is not true at all?

Here is a reference to the cable not being in the package, key in on TNVC-Victor's note.

So how does he record without a cable?

Thx


That is simple, he does not record without a cable.

Yup, just what I said previously, but nice that you researched it out and linked to that.

Official video cable announcement and shipments will be forthcoming shortly, as I mentioned previously.

The only cable that came with it was a mini USB to standard USB cable for charging the unit.

This is not true.

They're supposed to include it but they ran out and didn't want to hold back scopes so they are taking a IOU to customers for the cable.

This is not true

Do u have the cable?




I used my Tectronix 200mHz oscilloscope to suck the raw video signal out of the Tau2 core with the special high tech electronic video cable I frankensteined.

Well, the new RS32 FLIR is sighted in and ready to hunt on my AR-15 in 300 blk out. I put a target up at 50 yards and 100 yards, and started at 50 yards to get it sighted in. I put a hand warmer in the middle of the target to use for the heat source. I put one round down range at 50, and it wasn't on paper. So, I bore sighted the old fashion way looking through the bore and lining the cross hairs up. It was about 1 foot left, so I dialed it right. After a few sighters, I had it zero'd at 50, and went to 100. It is a little more difficult to sight one of these in, but it's doable. I ended up getting it printing about 1" high at 100, and dead on at 50! I think we are ready!

We have the RS32(35mm) and the RS64(35mm)in stock.
A few comments:
1)The video cables were supposed to be shipped "the first week of April", but we haven't seen them yet....I'm confident that FLIR will make good on their promise to supply the cables.
2)The video cable looks very similar to a GoPro output cable...but the pinouts are different. I have a couple of working cables...they are pretty simple.
3) Without the video cable, the only way to record would be through the eyepiece...we've done it with one of our iPhone adapters with good results, but shooting with an iPhone is problematic at best.

Totally agree, look for official announcement towards the end of this month for video cable shipments to all current owners....

We took the RS32 thermal scope out last night for the first time. We didn't get any pigs, but we did shoot 1 raccoon and 2 rabbits. The definition is fine for normal hunting distances. We were able to make out a rabbit at about ~100 or so yards, and close in on it for a closer shot. With a steady shot, 100 yards on a rabbit would be no problem. We were able to see 4 raccoons running around the feeder very well from about 75 yards. They were climbing trees and eating corn from under the feeder. The FLIR is a very cool unit, and is a game changer for night time hunting. It does help to go from 1x to 2x for a little more clarity. The 4x is a little grainy, so I like to shoot on 2x.

Cool
BTW, your 300 blackout sub ammo is fantastic!

I sighted the 208s dead on at 50 and was hitting an 6" plate easily at 100 with my pistol build with a T1
They had less drop than I thought they would.

So cool, the thwack hitting the plate was louder than the gun with my Templar can

I shot some through a Libtery integrally supressed rifle, very nice setup and Q U I E T
