Thermal Clip-On Systems

Are you going to go on a night hunt? We advise you not to rush and think over all the details of the hunt in advance. Surely you will not forget about the flashlight, power supply, and other essential things, but there is something that you will not even think about. Night vision devices, thermal vision devices, and many others will be your faithful assistants in the night forest. They will make it easier for you to find an animal among dark trees and bushes. We will discuss how to choose the right thermal imager system and how to use them. And also, what are thermal vision devices and their types.

Main thermal clip-on scopes characteristics

Usually, a thermal nozzle is installed before the day's sight. It transforms it into a full-fledged device for night hunting. For such nozzles, adapters for sights are provided as they may differ in diameter.

You are the most suitable sight for high-precision shooting, easily installed on the weapon. This type of thermal devise vision differs from all the presence of a sighting grid and shock resistance.

It is clip-on systems that allow us to open up new horizons for modern technologies. The absolute advantage of such a system is that it will enable you to save money by using existing equipment, rather than replacing it with a new one.

A correct and deep understanding of your needs will lead you to savings and new opportunities. For this understanding, you need to know the essential clip-on scopes characteristics.

This is not difficult because you already know the basics with the initial knowledge of thermal imaging technology. Clip-on scopes are built on the same invention, but they are still unique. As we wrote earlier, the main difference from conventional devices that capture and visualize thermal signatures is their durability. The fact is that the devices are attached to the weapon, and they must withstand the recoil force. It is this factor that is important.

Another characteristic that is important for any device is its weight. Not because it will be difficult for you to wear it. But because it can unbalance the gun a lot.

Otherwise, you should follow the standard thermal imager selection algorithm. And our tips and articles will help you with this.

Clip-on systems for a thermal devices

We all know that most thermal vision devices have large dimensions and weight. Accordingly, for such devices you need a strong mount on the weapon or on the head in the form of a helmet.

For example, glasses or binoculars can be fixed on the head with a special mount - a helmet, thereby providing the user with the ability to monitor thermal objects, almost completely eliminating the manual use of a thermal imager. You can also adjust the position of the glasses or throw them back when they are unnecessary.

Any kind of sights require a rigid attachment to the weapon, which will be a guarantee of high-precision shooting. For such a cryption, brackets have been created that will not damage the device with a strong recoil. Thermal vision device is suitable for a quick-release type of fastening and a permanent mounting bar. Their difference lies in their appearance and reliability of fixation. The use of a quick-release mount makes it possible to quickly respond to changes in the situation during the hunt, turning the sight into a monocular if necessary. Such models are small in size, so it doesn’t require much storage space. Fixing a permanent view is outwardly more masive, but at the same time it gives you a reliable and tight fixation on the barrel. The swivel quick-release bracket is prism-mounted and perfectly resistant to loads. It is ideal for installing a thermal vision and many other heavy optical sights. The design of the rotary bracket allows you to quickly replace the sight with one movement, while eliminating the displacement of the point of shooting, completely eliminating the need for additional shooting.

Please pay attention to the matrix. It affects the image quality of the picture, the temperature threshold, and the degree of error. If the resolution is high, then the quality of the matrix is better. Nowadays, the most significant expansion of the matrix is 640x480 pixels. And the sensitivity of the thermal should be approximately 0.05-0.08 degrees to be able to see an unmistakable silhouette of the beast.
