From Night Vision Guys about ATN ThOR HD 384 4.5-18x50 Thermal Rifle Scope TIWSTH384A
In 2016 ATN took yet another novel approach to thermal scopes. Using some of the technology developed for the X-Sight scope and BinoX binoculars in 2014 and 2015, they redesigned the entire ThOR line to be based on Obsidian "T" II Thermal cores instead of the FLIR cores used previously. Results seem to be impressive. The new ATN ThOR HD thermal scopes pack a ton of modern technologically advanced features. How well these new cores will hold up compared to the proven FLIR cores used in the past remains to be seen, but the 3 year body / 10 year core warranty ATN offers puts our concerns to rest.
The ATN THOR-HD 384 thermal scope features 4.5-18x progressive zoom with a 50mm objective lens is ideal for mid range hunting. Competitively priced and packed with features this ATN THOR-HD 384 thermal scope is probably the ideal choice for most hunters as it covers the standard 75-300 yard hunting range.

- Smart Range Finder
- Recoil Activated Video (RAV)
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth

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 ATN THOR-HD 384 4.5-18x50 Thermal Rifle Scope:
Most of our manufacturers do not keep products like ATN THOR-HD 384 4.5-18x50 Thermal 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.

Pretty cool
I really like this scope! I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to do a lot with it yet other than watch animals. But it’s been real simple to learn. Since deer season is over with I’ll be doing a lot of night hunting for varmints and hogs. I’m looking forward to using it more!

Two thumbs up!
I can't say anything bad about this thermal scope, its great. I have it zeroed on two platforms and it keeps zero 100%. It has multiple color pallets to choose and records video to a SD card. The controls are easy to understand, and setting up is not hard at all. Great thermal optic!

price per quality and value
After researching the cost of other scopes verse the durability and capabilities of this scope for around 240 hours of use I have changed the price rating to 5 stars. My original review opinions are still the same.

Many issues
I purchased from Night Vision Guys an ATN THOR-HD 384 4.5-18x50. I rate this scope as a good scope. The 4.5 zoom is too much in heavy brush. I can see my neighbor’s house clearly over a mile away without the zoom. With full zoom the picture is so pixilated you will be lucky to make out a coyote at 200 yards. The NUC feature to refresh the display works well, but has to be used often and produces a bright light which a varmint can see. A flip down cover would be would be better over the front lenses than the rubber cover, but must seal completely for NUC. The focus is good in most situations, but is hard to fine tune. You will need a cover for the display if you are going to carry the rifle as it produces light that will reflect. ATN’s battery case interfered with my AR’s bolt charging handle. Purchase rechargeable Kentli Batteries, they last for hours. I used a Leupold MARK 2 IMS integral riser mount to get the eye relief on my AR. Sighting in this scope is a pain because of the scope height. I was able to get a 3 inch group at 150 yards. If you plan on putting this scope on a bolt action the battery cap can interfer with the bolt throw. The power button needs to be moved because it is too easy to accidentally push when trying to zoom or find the action button. The range finder works well. The other features I have not used yet, and maybe never will.
