That looks too good to be true in a way.  Curious for more info.

That's pretty slick looking. Might finally get my ass a thermal if they're worth a shit.

It’d be nice if they had a photo of what the display looks like when being used.

25Hz on a CQB type thermal seems less than ideal.

Steiner CQT for the masses?

15% of the price.

It's not going to be something you want to bet your life on.

As a range toy it could be fun, but thermal is much more useful at range, where you can be hidden and take your time.

CQB type gunfights require split second reactions.

An optic at this price point is not going to offer what you need.

The problem with devices of this type is that (the ones I have seen) present a flat screen without any focus adjustments or exit optics. Which is to say, no "eye relief distance" and no "eyepiece" focus adjustment. Just a small display to stare at.
This leaves you to focus your aiming eye at a distance of several inches while zeroing in on a target much further away where your two eye focus belongs where gunplay is involved. "The target and what is beyond" takes a back seat to the screen..
It is like watching a TV screen that small and close to the eye.
If I were still working the street and wanted a pocketable termal for checking alleys, closets, etc. for hot spots, I'd always have one along.
However, unless one of these devices comes along with both the thermal image and the aiming reticle projected to a large distance, I wouldn't want it on a firearm.
