This is the video from a hunt a week or so back, the video will show us through the I2 third gen pvs-14 then will show what I see with the apollo thermal at the same time. It is very dark and humid there is a glow in the sky coming off a power plant that actually makes it harder to see in some of the shots, you will see the ir lasers illuminating the fog also. http://youtu.be/8cSV_szMxUM

Cool stuff. Here is a thermal vs night vision video from a 5X thermal and a 5X gen 2 WPT taken of the same scene at the exact same time

I'd like to be able to translate the opposite configuration to viewers.
Thermal spotters with I^2 gen 3 shooting.
Near impossible to capture action like you're seeing through a recorder with I^2.
Factoring cost the way you show it
Gen 3 pvs 14 with iPhone adapter and phone about 4k plus 5k in thermal shooter = 9k
Other way around, thermal spotter 2k with gen3 m845 or d740 or WPT at 3k = 5k
Good vid, was nice seeing you at SHOT congrats on LWRC ProStaff selection

I would love to own a thermal but us working guys have a hard time shelling out that kind of money to shoot a pig or 2.
Love watching the videos and dreaming how easy it would be.

Love watching the videos and dreaming how easy it would be. Our rental program is for workin guys. You might be surprised how cheap a thermal rental can be. Split it up with a hunting buddy and its less than gas to get to the deer lease.

But I know if I rent one I will end up buying one and then the trouble begins...
