Test: InfiRay E3 Plus V2.0 Thermal Monocular - Far-Sighted Everything

 The InfiRay  E3 Plus V2.0 is therefore a camera that can be used in mixed terrain, as its angle of view is still large enough to get a comprehensive view of what is happening in a covered environment, forest, bush or even hilly area, and it has enough zoom detection distance to supply observation in open, agricultural areas. By the way, the detection distance is 1,300 meters in the case of human figures, in many cases we will also see pigs and deer from even further fields.


Construction and appearance



The camera is still very ergonomic to operate, the buttons are at hand, the focus ring moves precisely, and the thermal images are sharp from wall to wall. The diopter adjustment system and function is still not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it can be used for most of us. The manufacturer does offer the suede bag for the camera, so if you want to attach a wrist strap or neck strap to the camera, you can attach it to the ear on the base (thin cord solution, use it boldly, the camera is not so difficult to take.)


Operation




So the thermal imager still has 3 light gray function buttons and a power button. The three function keys control thermal image switching, zooming, and photo/video activation, and long presses or combinations can be used to switch other functions:

  • THERMAL IMAGE + ZOOM is pressed: stadiometric remote estimation, the two end buttons can be used to move the estimation lines.
  • PHOTO + ZOOM pressed: manual calibration (locked in S mode, silent in B mode, mode adjustable in the menu),
  • PHOTO + THERMAL IMAGE pressed: heat tracking, hottest point,
  • THERMAL IMAGE is pressed: the laser pointer is switched on and off, (If someone wants to use the laser pointer function, it must first be activated because this function is disabled at the factory. The method of activation is that the three gray buttons have to be pressed simultaneously for 10-12 seconds (this activates the laser) and then works according to the paper (ie it can be switched on and off by holding down the heat exchanger).
  • ZOOM pressed: the main menu
  • PHOTO pressed: start and stop video

By importing the menu, you can access the following functions:

  • Activate Wifi
  • Adjusting the display backlight
  • Video OUT switching (for connecting an external display)
  • Calibration method: S automatic, with lock / B manual, silently with a cap on
  • PIP window: project a magnified image onto the top of the screen
  • Switch on a digital compass
  • Inclinometer connection
  • Other settings:
    • Laser pointer cursor adjustment (no touch required, factory set)
    • Calibrate compass
    • System information
    • Reset to factory settings

In humid weather, when the image is bad, it can deteriorate to the point where it is already full grainy. Now, new software has been released for Infiray Eye2 V2, including this model. I haven’t tried much yet, but the new software seemed to calibrate these cameras more often. It’s hard to judge because the deterioration of the image isn’t spectacular in clear weather but we'll glad to see our screen could be more and more clear. E3 Plus V2.0, on the other hand, was mostly tested in rugged fall times, ever since the new software came out, it’s been clear time.

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...
