This looks awesome BUT, I’ve only seen one video of it being used at night and it doesn’t show light being emitted onto the shooter.
I was thinking of picking one up for a hog gun. If it’s going to silhouette me at night, that wouldn’t really be worth it.
If you haven’t seen these, it’s an RMR size thermal that sells for about $700.
I’m also curious if this will work with a magnifier.

The thermal screen will cast a dim light on your face. I have my Infitac thermal  mounted on a Volquartsen 22LR pistol and it it pretty cool to be able to see and easily hit targets at night.

Wont any thermal with its tiny OLED screen essentially backlight/light pollution a shooter?

I would think so but if it’s not too bright maybe it’s not a big deal.

Most thermals have brightness adjustment to mitigate that. Also one of the light sealing eyecups helps.

Something like This.

That’s the reason I wasn’t sure if this would be ok for hunting. Most NV or thermal scopes have that. I use a NV clip on now. It seals up to the scope, but the scope does emit some light. Not very much though.

Think these are cool. Check out the new one leaf mars mini.

kind of amazing what is currently coming to market.  Old school tag on the mars mini - and I was half considering ordering a DNT Hydra thermal with LRF yesterday.  The Hydra has a bit better specs, but weighs 3x as much.
