A thermal imaging camera makes temperature differences visible. Game stands out clearly against the cooler background, even at night, in fog or behind light cover. For hunters this is a great help when checking the ground, identifying animals at night and during tracking of wounded game. Here you will find devices from Zeiss and ATN, along with matching batteries, charging cradles and interchangeable lenses.
Observation device or clip-on
You use a thermal monocular such as the Zeiss DTI 6 or the ATN BlazeHunter range handheld for observation. The BlazeHunter models also have a built-in laser rangefinder that shows you the distance to the animal straight away. A clip-on device such as the ATN TICO-LTV 650X, on the other hand, is mounted in front of your riflescope. Whether and how you may use such a device depends on the hunting and firearms regulations in your country.
Batteries, charging and lenses
Long nights out on your ground are hard on batteries. A spare battery for the Zeiss DTI 6 makes sure your device does not cut out in the middle of an observation, and the charging cradle recharges it conveniently at home. With the interchangeable lens you can adapt the DTI 6 to your style of hunting. A shorter focal length gives a wider overview, a longer one shows more detail at range.
Frequently asked questions
How far can I detect game with a thermal imaging camera?
That mainly depends on sensor resolution and lens. You can often see that a warm animal is there at several hundred metres, but for safe identification you usually need to be much closer.
Does a thermal camera work through a window?
No, normal glass blocks almost all thermal radiation, so you only see the pane itself. Open the window in your high seat or car before you start observing.
How long does the battery last in the cold?
In frost, the running time drops noticeably. Keep your spare battery close to your body inside your jacket, so it is warm and fully ready when you need it.
Thermal imaging for your ground
Thermal devices have changed night work on the ground. You can see wild boar in the field before they cause major damage, spot roe deer in long grass and find a shot animal faster when tracking. Choose from handy monoculars such as the Zeiss DTI 6 and the ATN BlazeHunter models with a built-in laser rangefinder, as well as a clip-on device from ATN. When buying, look at sensor resolution, focal length and battery life, because these three points decide image quality and range. For longer nights, a spare battery and the matching charging cradle are worthwhile. Find out beforehand which rules apply to thermal imaging in your country. For a wider overview or more reach, the DTI 6 can also be fitted with an interchangeable lens. That way you stay in control of your ground long after sunset.
