My First Thermal Purchase
After shopping all around and watching hours upon hours of YouTube video i made the plunge. I talked with several dealers and honestly they were all very helpful. I made my purchase with NVG. Not only helpful and very knowledgeable, they had the very best price of anyone. I placed my order on 5/13 and received my thermal on 5/17 Friday. I zeroed it on Saturday and at 1 AM Sunday i put my first hog on the ground. A very nice sow. I love the clairity and ease of operating my Flir PTS536. I was shocked at how clear it is, and even more surprised how long the batteries last. I had use of a Predator 236 and it seemed like the batteries would only last a couple hours. Im still on the first set of batteries after zeroing and hunting for at least 3hours of on time and showing full charge. They must have improved something on battery drain. I highly reccomend Night Vision Guys, Felix, in sales and the PTS536. Im no professional hunter nor do i have a YouTube channel (yet) and i cant wait to get back out hunting!

That thing is awesome
I checked out the FLIR today and that thing is awesome. I have used a $60,000 FLIR thermal imaging camera at work and it doesn’t hold a candle to the definition this unit has.

Excellent Value, very pleased.
This FLIR PTS 536 is the real deal. The 4 power is perfect for the style of hunting I do. Accurately identifying a 500 yard target is no problem with this thermal. And yet it's field of view is broad enough for the 40 to 80 yard hog shots as well. The layout of the controls are simple to use. You can easily scroll thru the menu with no problem while looking down range. The included QD mount is well made. I have looked thru some 640 units and honestly the money difference to me is unjustifiable. This optic is well worth the price. In addition the folks at Night Vision Guys are top notch. Felix and crew are awesome. They truly will match a competitors price and work with you. I know this first hand. Much thank!!

Question
Will the new thermosight scope. 4-16x50 with boson. 320x256 be comparable to the armasight. 640x520 17 micron scopes with the same. 50 mm. Lense..just wondering about the performance or should I wait for the 640 units to come out...
From Dee on May 26, 2017
Answer
Hi Dee. I cannot tell you that a new core is going to make a 320 thermal scope perform the same as a 640 scope. You simply do not have as many pixels in that image. The real question is if you need the 640 resolution for what you will be trying to achieve with this unit. If you describe your hunting habits, we can tell you what parameters will be important.
Question
With the above question in mind, would you expect better performance with the 12 micron core as compared to the current 336 in 17 micron or be about the same?
From Wayne White on Jun 08, 2017
Answer
Hi Wayne. Smaller pixel size allows for a sharper image and clearer image.
Question
I have been waiting on the Flir boson core 12m since June (the 50mm). When will it be available? In April Flir started saying June, here it is August. I would like to know when because if it is going to be much longer I will go with another scope. Thank you and am looking forward to your answer.
From mike kuffler on Aug 10, 2017
Answer
Hi Mike. I understand your frustration. Unfortunately this is typical of night vision manufacturers. Often products are marketed ahead of time and then production process takes longer than anticipated. At this point we are expecting another 3 - 6 months before this scopes is on the market. If you are looking for a scope for this hunting season, you will probably need to get a different unit. Please let us know if we can suggest something and potentially offer a special discount.
Question
any idea of how much these are gonna cost?
From weston on Aug 28, 2017
Answer
Hi Weston. It is hard to be sure until the manufacturer releases them. It all depends on prices of other thermal scopes on the market at the time.
Question
Is the front lens adjustable on the 533?
From Pookie on Oct 14, 2017
Answer
Hi Pookie. by adjustable, do you mean ability to zoom thermosight scope using the front lens?
Question
Is the FLIR 30Hz or 60Hz?
From Winston on Feb 05, 2018
Answer
hi Winston. All models of FLIR Thermosight Pro thermal scopes with Boson are 60hz. We had old data on the page and have corrected it now. Thank you for pointing this out.
Question
Can you recommend a scope you have for sale now that’s comparable to the one in this thread? Thanks!
From Steve Kelly on Feb 12, 2018
Answer
hi Steve. In terms of capabilities, this one is probably the closest: https://www.nightvisionguys.com/armasight-zeus-3-thermal-riflescope-640-30-75mm-lens
Question
Does this PTS536 record audio
From Kenneth Klatt on Mar 24, 2018
Answer
Hi Kenneth. Thermosight Pro thermal scopes do not record audio. If this was important to you you would need to record audio on a standalone device and then match the streams in some video editor.
Question
Does this scope have a built in range finder?
From Joe Thomas on Apr 21, 2018
Answer
Hi Joe. FLIR Thermosight Pro thermal scopes do not have a built in rangefinder but do have a connector port for external optional Laser Range Finder Connections.
Question
Is this thermal waterproof or is it just water resistant?
From Michael on Apr 26, 2018
Answer
Hi Michael. Officially FLIR Thermosight Pro thermal scopes are rated as waterproof. Naturally this does not mean that you should soak it in water. However, it will be fine if exposed to heavy rain dropped into a puddle.
Question
when is flir going to release the PTS536
From Kevin on May 31, 2018
Answer
Hi Kevin. We are expecting a shipment from FLIR of Thermosight PTS536 to be sent on Friday which means we will be able to ship towards the end of next week. That's based on what FLIR is telling us currently. With that shipment we will have enough to cover a couple of new orders if they are placed soon. So if you are in the market for this scope, I suggest to not delay.
Question
Hello - I see it says there are "laser range finder connections". Can you explain more about that? What brand is compatible? Does Flir have a specific range finder in mind? Will my Sig Kilo1400 work with it? I'm strongly interested in this scope but integration with a range finder (or not) is a dealbreaker for me and if it's not easy to set up and clean to work with I'll go to a different product. Thanks!
From Brett on Aug 17, 2018
Answer
Hi Brett. The laser rangefinder connections are for a FLIR unit which has not been released yet. If you need one, I would suggest a Zeus Pro unit which you can get the external rangefinder for. It is trivial to integrate them.
