We had one of the first ones available for some time thermal imaging cameras of Leupold that the Paganini of Turin is distributing regularly on the market. The elegant packaging already shows the six different views obtainable on the outside and the brand with the wording catches the eye. designed * Machined * Assembled in the USA, a reassuring fact without wanting to disdain work in other areas where labor is decidedly cheap.
We remove the device from its seat and the golden ring with the company logo placed on the lens where the sensor is inserted is immediately recognizable; the body, a little less than 14 cm long, is tapered, it almost looks like a minuscule telescope, but this is not the case. The part where the section is enlarged has a corrugation to facilitate the unscrewing and replacement of the batteries; behind are placed on part of the circumference three buttons with a protective and anti-slip rubber cover.
The functions see on / off, variation of image enlargements and change of background color: finally, here is the ocular lens on which the observer's gaze rests and where they stand out with different colors and backgrounds, as mentioned above: the color definitions are listed as follows: red - white hot - black highlight - green - black hot - white highlight can be defined as red, with lighter shades of the subject, evident white of the subject on a black background, again black background and golden yellow subject, green always with subject lighter than the background, black subject on a pearl gray background, golden yellow subject on a pearl gray background .
Possibility of magnification up to 6x, convenient fixed focus, detection up to 600 yards with a field of view of 21 ° horizontally. Less than 3 seconds to start the device and power the batteries for 10 hours of continuous use. There is a 5-year warranty on the electronic component. It is intuitive to use for hunters who can detect thethermal image emitted by the wild fallen in an area with poor visibility thus facilitating its recovery, as it is very practical to use it for safety, for example detecting the presence of people in the dark near a house or, in the house itself with the advantage of not having to switch on the lights.
Just two examples, but in our opinion already amply sufficient for the purchase of this new product: appearance, style and functions all in line with what is well known about the brand of the great L placed in a lattice.
