On Episode 218 we offered up Part 1 of the Top 10 Thermal/NV Buying Mistakes with our first 5 suggestions of what not to do. This week we're back with Part 2 and our next 5 on the list of mistakes not to make when it's time to buy a night vision or thermal optic. Our list this week has a couple tongue in cheek suggestions but they are still valid and the entire top 10 are the most common mistakes...

 We're back again with a breaking review on an optic that is just hitting the market this week! Hans and Jason have been field testing the all new AGM Adder thermal rifle scopes for several weeks and on this week's show they review both the Adder TS35-384 3x $2,495 and the TS50-384 4x $2,995. The Adder model is the first thermal scope from AGM in the 30mm tube style design and they offer not...

This week Hans and Jason review the Infiray Micro 384 RL25 by iRay USA. This tiny little thermal optic will function as a handheld monocular, helmet mounted optic or a rifle scope. With a 2x optical magnification, focus-able lens, video recording and great run time on a single 18650 rechargeable battery all for $2,999, this optic is definitely a head turner. If you're wondering if this optic might...

As thermal rifle scopes continue to improve, the prices continue to drop and on this episode Jason and Hans review a $3,500 high resolution 640x480 thermal rifle scope. Yes you read that price right! We're proud to introduce the Bering Optics Super Yoter 25mm 1.5x thermal scope. With a 640 12 micron thermal sensor, super wide field of view, 1.5x low base magnification, quick detach mount and all t...

One of the most frustrating, confusing and unnerving things for many hunters is deciding which thermal or night vision scope to buy. Coming to grips with spending the money in the first place can be hard enough but once that decision is made there are so many options, so many models, specifications, unfamiliar lingo, sketchy dealers and the list of concerns can go on forever. On this episode of th...

The Late Night Vision Show is back again with another big review! The Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 Pro is the topic this week and there is no question this will be one of the most popular reviews of the entire year. The Thermion 2 XP50 Pro is the new (for 2022) XP50 in a long line of previous versions. Dating back to 2017, the XP50 has been Pulsar's most popular high end 640 scope year after year and fo...

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 Kr...

It's Thursday and The Late Night Vision Show guys are back with another "listener questions" episode. This is a show where you, the listener/viewer are in control! You get the questions answered that you'd love to hear Jason or Hans address on the show. This time around there are a wide range of questions from hog populations, electronic callers to thermal binoculars. If you have a question for Ha...

On Episode 214 of The Late Night Vision Show Hans and Jason review the latest two thermal monoculars in Pulsar’s extremely popular Axion line up, the Axion XQ35 and XQ35 LRF. These very affordable thermal monoculars have a low 2x base magnification, longer battery life, compact size and an excellent value for the dollar! Check out this review to see if one of these handhelds is right for you.&nbsp...

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, includ...

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;...

Hans and Jason predicted that 2022 would be the year of the laser range finders (LRF) and that prediction seems to be coming true. This week they review two models of the AGM Varmint 640 LRF thermal rifle scope. These scopes have not only a LRF but also use an 18650 rechargeable battery, include an American Defense Mfg. QD mount, have great image quality, include video recording and wifi streaming...

A question that Hans and Jason have been asked many times over the years is, “what’s in your hunting bag?” Its a good question and a logical one since many people have the temptation to carry way too many things in their bag or even worse, they might forget to include some important items. This week Hans and Jason empty out their hunting packs and tell them listeners everything they carry with the...

The elusive, mysterious scope that has been the buzz of the thermal market for over a year has finally arrived….the one of a kind iRay USA Alpha. After a year of supply chain struggles and manufacturing delays iRay has finally been delivered and hit the shelves. With its unique textured coyote tan housing, fantastic 640 high resolution image quality, long rechargeable battery life and a 5 year war...

By far one of the best selling and most popular thermal optics over the last couple years has been the Bering Optics Super Hogster. In early 2022 Bering made a few upgrade to the scope and re-released it under the new name Super Hogster A3 (Anywhere, Anyplace, Any Time). And this scope truly is one of the best all around thermal optics on the market; especially in the sub $4,000 price range. If yo...

If there is one company that continues to improve their optics gear after year and pushes the entire industry to improve and compete it has to be Pulsar. Today we’ll be reviewing the new for 2022 Thermion 2 XP50 PRO LRF thermal rifle scope. The Thermion line up has been wildly popular for many years now but they were missing only one thing….a laser range finder.  Now that wish has become a re...

We’ve been promising some more interviews on the podcast and this week we deliver. We are excited to have our friend Tom Stewart from American Defense Manufacturing on the show. Anyone who listens to the podcast much knows Hans and Jason are huge fans of the ADM QD mounts, rifles and pistols. American Defense has also been a huge supporter of The Late Night Vision Show listeners by offering multip...

The long awaited Sightmark Wraith 4K Mini is finally here! Nearly 6 months after originally being announced and only a small amount of scopes being available then, the Wraith 4K Mini is here and in full production. This is the 4th optic in the ever popular Sightmark Wraith family and this model does not disappoint. Tiny size, amazing image quality, full featured, priced right.....this unit has it...

Laser Range Finders.....does everyone need one on their NV or thermal optic? Are they just all hype? Are they worth the cost? On this week's podcast Jason and Hans answer all those questions and more. The current trend with thermal optics, both handheld and rifle mounted, is for them to include a built in or add on laser range finder. As more and more LRF's become available, naturally more night h...

What does the future hold for thermal optics? Will we have a Jetson-like thermal scope or will we have exactly what we do today? The last 5 years have brought about a lot of changes and advances in the thermal optic industry and on this show Hans and Jason discuss their thoughts and opinions on what the next 5 years holds in store. Listen as they get our their very cloudy crystal balls and try to...

On Episode 202 of The Late Night Vision Show Jason and Hans review a scope that was quietly introduced on to the market a few months ago; the Infiray Rico MK1 RH35 640. They are calling it one of the best high resolution 640 thermal scopes that no one knows about. With a 2x base magnification, excellent image quality, 6+ hour removable battery life, all the bells and whistles and a 5 year warranty...

This week is a milestone for The Late Night Vision Show and Hans and Jason as they cross over the bridge of 200 episodes under their belt. 200 weeks in a row, without ever missing a week, these two country boys from East Texas have published a podcast on a wide range of topics from hog and coyote hunting, countless thermal and night vision scope reviews, suppressor, rifle, ammo, 2nd Amendment and...

It's not often that we can say that an optic we review is "revolutionary" and trust us, we don't use that word lightly. But this week we will be using that word a lot as we discuss the new InfiRay Zoom ZH38 thermal monocular that is truly one of a kind. While providing a great 640 high resolution image, the Zoom offers two features that no other thermal hunting optic ever has....optical zoom and a...
