Review: Rico RL42 Thermal Rifle Scope

 Review: Rico RL42 Thermal Rifle Scope




With the release of Rico thermal rifle scope in 2020, more and more customers and fans overseas got or have updated their thermal devices in hand, taking them for more exciting outdoor adventures and spark their gear for the wild! So we have collected articles or reviews from our friend, let’s see what they say about RL42 thermal riflescope of Rico series:


Quick Transformation and multiple functions

Quick transformation is what I’ve found a very practical advantage of the scope so far. The unit is quite solid and well built consisting of a metal main body. Function buttons feel positive to me, the battery is easy to replace and very secure. I have used and tested all the functions extensively, like Wi-Fi, zooming, etc; trying all the color pallets and the numerous reticles. When I was finished, the battery life was showing 50%. All the functions are useful and considerable, if you learn more, the more surprises you could find that brought by the scope.



Standby Mode and special zeroing

Another handy feature is the standby mode. You can enter standby mode at varying time intervals. To reinstate the unit you can press the power button, so that you can restart the thermal scope from the standby mode, besides the AMOLED screen is very clear with good size and displays high-resolution thermal images. The unit has a few nice touches or function designs in particular having three ranges for zeroing in each profile. So if you are on profile (A ) and zero at 100m, then you see something at 200 or 300, you can click down and it moves the reticle to that poi automatically. Lots of reticles work better depending on which pallet you have selected in the scope.



Intelligent Calibration for choose

There is a mixture of FFP and SFP for the calibration with the choice of color pallets. there are three calibration modes: automatic, manual and background. The calibration in RL42 has an interesting feature you will get a countdown before the calibration and it’s useful if you are recording. Zooming looks good and for the larger targets, you can pick your point of impact easily. Obviously, the smaller stuff at a longer distance the thermal image will be a blob, for example, a rabbit at a distance of 200 is going to be a blob in the scope. However, when it moves you can identify it.



Conclusion

In the early days but overall the functions are ease of use for me and all things are looking good, I have recorded plenty of footage out there now. Overall the image quality in my opinion is up there, however, I will let you decide. At this time I don’t get any issues at all or feel struggling to find any negatives. Overall and up to now RL42 is looking pretty good. Take into account the downloading degradation the thermal image it takes is sharper in the actual footage. In my opinion folks just another option out there and importantly there is a three-year warranty for it.

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...
