On Episode #216 of The Late Night Vision Show Hans and Jason review a type of optic they've never have before.....a thermal clip-on. If you go back over 2 years ago to Ep.96 they released a show titled "Are Thermal Clip-On's a Good Investment?" where they discussed their general thoughts of clip-on optics. Fast forward to now and here we are with them reviewing the new (to the US market) Pulsar Krypton 640 resolution thermal clip-on. The Krypton has been available in the European market for over a year now but it's finally made it's way to the US market and there has been a large "buzz" surrounding this optic. Is it the killer of all dedicated thermal rifle scopes? Is it the best choice for every hunter? Hans and Jason answer all these questions and many more in this review, so if you're even remotely interested in the Krypton, this show is for you.

On this episode we've got a very unique thermal optic to introduce; the iRay Micro RH25 640. If you're looking for an "all-in-one" thermal optic, the RH25 should be at the top of your list. The Micro will function as a handheld, its helmet mountable, weapon mountable and will work as a clip-on in front of a lower power 1x or 1.5x daytime scope. The Micro RH25 has a 1x optical magnification, includes video recording, uses an 18650 for very long battery life and has an amazing image quality. With it's very small size and light weight profile the Micro packs a big punch for such a small package. Check out this review to learn more about this awesome new thermal.

Every once in a while a company has a fantastic product and they find a way to make it better by making small upgrades and leaving all the other great features alone. Bering Optics successfully did this with their new Hogster Vibe 25 and Vibe 35 thermal rifle scopes. The previous Hogster R25 and R35 were awesome scopes and wildly popular but they were lacking two features that many people wanted; internal video recording and wifi streaming. Enter the Hogster Vibes. All the same great features and image quality at their predecessors but now with video recording and stream capabilities and still at a very affordable price. The Hogster Vibes are set to become some of the most popular thermal rifle scopes on the market. Check out this review to learn all about both the Vibe 25 and Vibe 35 and find out which one is right for you.
