The Late Night Vision Show

With the list of quality 384 handheld thermal monoculars growing, this year we decided to break down our favorites by 384 and 640 resolution. This week we choose our winners for Best 384 Resolution Thermal Monoculars for 2024! The competition is tough and the category is large but we do our best to pick our favorites!

On this episode of The Late Night Vision Show Hans and Jason put a wrap on the best “high end” thermal rifle scopes over $6,000 for 2024. This year in this category we have not only some of the best 640 resolution thermal scopes but we also have two 1024 ultra high resolution scopes that bring a whole new meaning to high end thermal. If you’re interested in the best of the best for 2024, you will definitely want to watch this show.

It’s extremely rare for us to choose a scope as one of our Best of 2024 before we’ve released a full review. But with a few months of field use under our belts with the RIX Storm S6, we felt no choice but to chose it as our favorite scope under $3,000 for 2024. At just $2,699 this small compact 2x magnification 640 scope is one heck of a great value for the close to mid range hunter. On this review we dig into the specs, the real world use and who it’s good for. Check it out now!

As we move into the higher price scope categories of our Best of 2024 series, the field of optics is greatly reduced. What isn’t reduced is the quality of the optics on the list. This week as Hans and Jason pick winners in the $5,000 and $6,000 price range, the competition is extremely strong! Some of the most popular scopes of the year are in this class so listen in to see who the winners are!

This week on the podcast Hans and Jason bring you their top picks for the "Best Thermal Rifle Scopes Under $4,000 for 2024". With over 10 excellent thermal scopes in this category, the competition is extremely tough. With some of the top 384 and 640 thermal scopes on this list the decision on which models are our favorites was extremely difficult. Both coyote and hog hunters have a great selection of optics in this category. If you're in the market for a thermal scope under $4,000 you will not want to miss this episode!

As we continue our commitment to bringing you the latest and breaking news in the night, vision and thermal industry, today we are here with another exciting announcement.

For our second installment of The Late Night Vision Show Best of 2024 series, this week we bring you the Best Entry Level Thermal Rifle Scope category.

Welcome back to the 2024 Late Night Vision Show “Best of” series! This year we kick it off with Hans and Jason discussing the list of digital night vision rifle scopes and then picking their favorites from the group. The competition is getting stronger in this category as the quality and features continue to increase. If you’re looking to get into night hunting on a budget and aren’t ready to jump into the thermal scope world, check this show out and see which scopes we choose as our top picks for 2024.

One of the most common questions that is asked by people who are looking to purchase their first thermal optic is if it can be used during the daytime. This answer requires a little more than a simple, “yes” or “no”.  Most often Hans and Jason will say “yes but….”, as the answer requires a more detailed explanation. On this weeks episode of The Late Night Vision Show we discuss the realistic uses of thermal optics for both scanning and hunting during the daylight hours. If this is a question that you have as well be sure to check out this episode!

The time has finally come. After many long months of delays, very limited production and some of the highest demand we’ve seen for a scope in years, the review is finally here. This episode Hans and Jason dedicate to the review of the Infiray Outdoor Rico MK2 RH50R. The RH50R is without out a doubt one of, if not THE scope with the biggest buzz and most demand for 2024. Check out this review to see if Hans and Jason believe the RH50R is really one of the best scopes of the year or if it’s just another good scope on long list of other good scopes.
