A Review for Thermal Xeye E2n Thermal Imager

In summer 2019 I received the Thermal Xeye E2n thermal imaging camera from Haptner Jagd.


When I received the package excitedly, the first thing I noticed was that the camera only had a nylon stocking to transport the camera, for example in a backpack or in a pocket to store it. This amazed me because the thermal imaging camera is actually more of a high-priced purchase.


Of course, I first had to charge the battery with the supplied cable for the camera, which made waiting even more difficult. The same evening, of course, I made my way to the nearby fields of our community. The first animal I saw was a stray domestic cat, then a fox and the fenced-in cows.


With the different settings you can adjust the colors and brightness of the camera, which makes the whole thing even more interesting. The camera's moon function turns night into day. This function impressed me a lot about the Xeye E2n. It can be so dark you can see perfectly.



I noticed that distant animals are only shown with a "red" spot. But you can be sure that there is something there. At normal distances, for example from a high seat, you can see the objects quite well. I had also tested the thermal imaging camera during the day's hunt. In front of me was a deforested beech forest, in which there were always deer. Except for tree stumps, branches and dry beech leaves, nothing was visible to the naked eye in this area.

When I used the Xeye E2n thermal imaging camera and scouted the area in front of me, 3 deer could be found there. It was a roe deer and two fawns that rested comfortably in the morning sun.

With the naked eye it was almost impossible to see these animals. The deer camouflage was far too good in this cleared forest. The distance was 140 meters.

The camera can be used very well both during the day and at night.



My conclusion about the Xeye E2n thermal imager: A suitable camera for the hunter for his passion to observe wildlife. I fully agree with the price-performance ratio. Surely there are still cameras that are a bit more expensive, but this camera is ideal for normal hunting use. The camera is very handy and can be easily taken anywhere.


A more robust transport box would be desirable to take with you or to keep so that it is better protected.

More than a thermal scope: review of InfiRay DL13

Image
The InfiRay DV DL13 is an innovative line of compact thermal imaging monoculars . These pocket-sized devices are excellent when trying to observe cryptic species or when surveying in dark or foggy conditions. The InfiRay DL13 uses a 384 x 288 thermal sensor to detect and night vision devices this process is not determinant on light conditions and the scope can be used in bright exposure as well as at night. The thermal sensor has a dramatically reduced pixel pitch of 17µm, which results in images with smoother edges, more detailed thermal mapping and an improved ability to detect objects compared to an equivalent sized sensor with a 20µm pixel pitch. InfiRay DV series features fast germanium 13mm with 0.85x native magnification manual focus and up to 4x digital zoom, instant start up, 5 color palette modes including popular "Black Hot" and "White Hot". Features such as instant start up means you can quickly use the device when necessary. The InfiRay DL13 is designe...

User Experience of InfiRay HOLO Series

A Brief Review of InfiRay Thermal Scope HL13 My buddies have other brand products that I've used, both 384 and 640 units and I'm quite familiar with their qualities and quirks as a comparison. I purchased this immediately after Christmas and I've had this in the field 3-4 times now and it's awesome!   Rock solid mount, never freezes (knock on wood) and the battery life with CR123 batteries has been STELLAR. It takes a while to get used to the auto-nuc feature, but I like it. You can also select manual calibration while you want to. Consider with the tiny model size, this scope done well in detecting thermal target for mid to long distance. Recently I've been able to positively ID hogs at 500 yards, which beats my friend's 384 unit all over the place.   All functions are intuitive and easy to use, even though there are basically only two buttons to manipulate its menu. You can simply find major functions via pushing and pressing one button. Some unique fu...

Saim Series, the best choice in its price level

Image
Review of InfiRay Saim SCT35 InfiRay comes up a lot in the thermal scopes conversation because their gear is popular and receives positive reviews. The Saim SCT35 by InfiRay indicates strong trends: the reliable thermal camera, clear image quality and solid build quality. First up: let's have a look at its lens quality. Saim SCT35 equipped with a germanium lens that's fully multi-coated with an infrared-transmitting coating. The raw infrared light that reaches the sensor is as pure as possible, and generates a very clean image. Next: electronic image quality. The camera produces 384x288 resolution heat map from sensor, that's displayed on a 1280x960 LCOS screen, so you get a great image that you can work with, and will hold up to years of use. Both size of sensor resolution and display screen are top ranked among thermal scopes alike. The display can be set to one of 4 color modes to help with target acquisition in different environments. There are also four levels of cont...
