Armasight Zeus 3 336-30 42mm Lens Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope
The Armasight Zeus is the new line by Armasight in thermal imaging technology, and they are incredible night vision devices for anyone interested in riflescope technology that won’t let you down in any weather conditions. Excellently crafted to be used for everything from hunting to Military and Law Enforcement needs, these night vision riflescopes are so far beyond what light amplification night vision can do. Regardless of the tactical nuances that you face, nothing could be better than high grade thermal imaging technology to help you in target acquisition.
If you are not yet sure if thermal imaging technology is for you, ask yourself one question, is it worthwhile to know you will be able to see your target, even in inclement weather conditions? If so, then the answer is easy. You must invest in thermal imaging technology, because in bad weather conditions other night vision technology definitely has the potential to let you down. Thermal imaging promises you an incredible and clear night time view of the field, but not just when the sky is clear. Even in rain and fog and other bad weather conditions, targets still give off heat, which means thermal imaging still works.
Another advantage of thermal imaging over other night vision technology is camouflage. A well selected camouflage outfit can hide a lot from even the well trained eye, but it can’t hide from thermal imaging technology. This is yet another way that a simple thermal imaging clip on scope upgrades your entire tactical arsenal; it is simple and very effective.

Thermal Imaging
Please note that most thermal devices are built per order. It may take 3-5 days or more for your order to ship. If timely shipping is important to you, please, contact us to verify availability prior to ordering.
Thermal devices can produce various types of images. Some are color others are monochrome. In either case change in shade or color indicates temperature differences.
Here is how thermal imaging devices work...
A special lens focuses the infrared light emitted by all of the objects in view.
The focused light is scanned by a phased array of infrared-detector elements. The detector elements create a very detailed temperature pattern called a thermogram. It only takes about one-thirtieth of a second for the detector array to obtain the temperature information to make the thermogram. This information is obtained from several thousand points in the field of view of the detector array.
The thermogram created by the detector elements is translated into electric impulses.
The impulses are sent to a signal-processing unit, a circuit board with a dedicated chip that translates the information from the elements into data for the display.
The signal-processing unit sends the information to the display, where it appears as various colors depending on the intensity of the infrared emission. The combination of all the impulses from all of the elements creates the image.
There are a few key Manufacturers when it comes to thermal imaging.
ATN: produce such well knows devies as ThOR-HD thermal scope, BINOX-THD thermal binoculars, and OTS-HD thermal monocular.
FLIR/Armasight: the largest maker of consumer level thermal products is well knows for their full product line. Zeus thermal scopes, Q14 and Scout monoculars, Helios and Scout binoculars and many more.
Pulsar: a very popular brand for digital night vision and thermal imaging. Key products include Pulsar Trail and Apex thermal scopes and Pulsar Helion and Quantum thermal monoculars.
Seek: mobile device mounted thermal cameras are the main products of this brand.
Delivery Time and Manufacturing Process for Armasight Zeus 4 160-30 42mm Lens Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope:
Most of our manufacturers do not keep products like Armasight Zeus 4 160-30 42mm Lens Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope assembled on the shelf. Night Vision tubes are kept separate from the body of the unit. When the order is placed, the manufacturer starts the order processing and assembly process which includes the following:
- Order processing - we collect all the necessary information including address and phone numbers. We also make sure that our customer ordered the correct product for their needs and that the product can be exported by US law to the country of destination. In some cases a signed export compliance form is required.
- QC - in this step the manufacturer will inspect all individual parts which will be used to assemble the night vision device for any defects.
- Production & Assembly - during production, all the parts are put together. Night Vision tubes in inserted into the body of the unit and all the complex electronics for the device are connected. This process takes place in a special lab called the "clean room" as even a small speckle of dust can cause undesired optical effect.
- QA - one the night vision device is assembled, it goes through a rigorous testing process to make sure it meets all the expected specifications and all parts function as expected. For this most manufacturers have a special "dark room" designed to allow testing of the units without causing incidental damage to the night vision tube by exposure to bright light.
- Packaging - this is a key process as well. In most case your night vision device will be shipped to you directly from the manufacturer but sometimes needs to be sent to us first. In either case items need to be packaged securely to avoid any kind of damage during transportation.
- Shipping - as described above items will most of the time ship from the manufacturer. For most domestic orders (unless shipping to POB or AFB) a premium shipper like FedEx or UPS will be used.
Only by following the above steps can we along with our manufacturers bring you - our customer - night vision products of highest quality, However as you can understand the above process can take several days to complete. For example if your device fails QA, the entire process restarts. Also at QC stage a manufacturer may realize that the tube they have in stock has a defect and a replacement tube needs to be ordered. Due to the complexity of this process, it is prudent to expect 3-4 business days for production and handling of the purchased device. Keep in mind that this process is designed to guarantee your satisfaction with the night vision device of your choice. It occasionally possible to expedite the process for urgent orders but addional fees or other restrictions may apply.

Works great
Customer service was fantastic, delivery was faster than expected. Have used device to locate pigs and coyotes at over 900 yards. At that distance you can not tell what you are looking at, but the critters easily POP out at you. Have had success on each of the 3 hunts I went on. The last hunt I picked 2 deer during overcast daylight that would not have been seen with the day optics we had. Great value! I used one of these before and knew what to expect. Con: the batteries shipped with the external battery pack were junk! Also identification past 200 yards can be challenging. It easy to tell a pig from a coyote but not so easy to tell a coyote from a German Shepard. But I always have NV with me for Yotes. Thank you to Steven B for making this a great purchase!

Question
What is the difference 30hz and 60 hz does it make a big difference target accusation on running hogs
From Cesar sauceda on Apr 22, 2014
Answer
Hello, it all depends on the type of hunting you are doing. If your hunting an animal such as a hog or coyote and you plan on shooting it while its running I would then highly recommend the 60hz. If you are only planning to shoot animals while they roam around then a 30hz would be more than enough.
Question

Question
What is the difference between a Zeus Pro ans Zeus 3?
From gGordo on Mar 04, 2016
Answer
Hi. Armasight Zeus Pro thermal scope line is equipped with many superb features. To start with, these units have milspec level construction. They also have mobile app support and feature larger objective lenses. Bottom line is that it is a more capable unit but if you will be hunting hogs at 150 yards you will be perfectly fine with a regular Zeus model as well. So it all depends on how important bells and whistles are to you. If you would like to speak to one of our product experts, please let us know the best number to contact you at. They will be able to walk you through all the features and options of various product lines.
