Review: I've had both this and the Micro 160 for a year now... don't even bother with the micro 160 now that this is $550. I can't remember what I paid but it was $700-800 at the time and I'm not even mad that they're $550 now. You cannot beat this as far as I know for anywhere near this price... and at $550 I'm tempted to buy a second because I want binoculars 😅 My only gripe is that I bought these units SPECIFICALLY to use with an external monitor... and even though it claims that with the correct cable you can use this to run a live real time wired video feed to a normal monitor or TV I have yet to find one that allows this to happen... I've spent around $100 on various cables and adapters trying to get this to connect to anything with a video in and I've basically given up. I'm a storm chaser and my plan was a to roof mount this for SAR wired to a normal backup cam monitor... it works phenomenally with the app for this, BUT I dont want to use the app because it won't let me use it full screen without a border or frame. This thing is 100% functional from 10ft out to 150yds for seeing hot spots and 50-75yds for identifying moving animals... Be aware that sun warmed rocks look just like animals, and there is a specific learning curve to keep you from watching suspicious rocks under certain conditions... I'm still convinced that rock was up to no good. The FOV isn't great for anything less than 10ft if situational awareness is necessary... still works phenomenally to see any and all spots including the squirrels nest sitting on top of the drywall in the attic. Seriously... I can actually see the squirrels nest through the ceiling drywall as well as where they have disturbed the insulation. You can also clearly spot aircraft at .5-.75 miles(my distance from the runway). On days like today where severe weather is doing it's thing, the hot and cold clouds are VERY obvious. It can only see mass, but clouds are just fluffy water and it sees clouds phenomenally when conditions are right. I have no doubt that this could spot night tornados at 1-2 miles, but a more powerful unit would be better suited for clouds/weather. This thing is mostly useful for urban/suburban distances. I can make out regular Texas size feral cats at 100yds exactly. This works MUCH better with a portable tripod as a handle... the stability increase with a cheap folding desk tripod is unbelievable... two hands is much better than one for distance situations. The app works... Either way if you need to spot anything from terrorists to terriers, this thing rocks for the price... BTW you can also see who's doing laundry, both dryer vents and hot water heater stacks are brutally obvious... and on color mode concrete foundations glow at night. Don't forget to look into a mirror and at your dog prints/foot prints/wife prints... warm toilet seats... water leaks... you name it, if you haven't seen the wild world of radiation yet prepare to be blown away.
Review: Wanted an entry level unit that would help me learn about this tech. Really enjoying this unit. Works better than I had hoped. Spotting deer at over 40 meters in heavy forest. Mice at 15 meters. Different modes allow for early warning followed with identification of target. Wireless connection to my iPad is flawless and very simple so you can export images and videos easily. Battery lasts over 4h because it has an stand-by/instant-on feature. The occular adjustment of the viewfinder is strong enough for my +4.0 diopter adjustment. Super easy to use as the four buttons fit naturally under your fingers when you hold it. I got my as a “used” unit from desertcart for about half price. Unit worth it at full price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the range? How many yards ?**
A: Honestly depends on your experience with thermal.  I have used this to Identify deer in an open field over 600 yards away.  This is the video of it!  Farthest about 600 yards out!  I love this product!  Sees through thick brush too at closer ranges too!

**Q: How many degrees of temp does there have to be between the object and its surroundings for it to detect the object**
A: This is a squirrel at about 30 yards in thick brush.  The different settings help for different uses.  Example, I use red hot overlay from scanning think brushes to show large temperature changes.  However black hot shows very sudden changes in temperature.

**Q: Can anyone link me a mount that will fit this and fits a tactical helment ?**
A: This product is not made to be helmet mounted as it has magnification.  But there are a few options available online.  We cannot speak for how well they work. 
- Feral Texas Outdoors Monocular Single Bridge Mount for Sionyx nightcams, FLIR Breach, and AGM Taipan & ASP Micro
taipan-asp-micro
- IRmount TM Adaptive Mount, fits AGM Taipan or Micro TM384 or TM160 thermal
- Spectrum Advanced Manufacturing Nightwatch 3 Single AGM Taipan / Asp-Micro Helmet Mount with Folding Arms

**Q: How do i change the language to english after the initial set up and is en for english ? thanks**
A: Yes, EN stands for English in the device menu. It’s kind of hard to change it once they’ve put it into a language they aren’t familiar with. However, they will need to go into the menu and look for the “A” Icon. Once on the “A” icon choose “EN” for English.
