AGM TaipanV2 19-320 Thermal Monocular

Core Features

The middle step in the TaipanV2 line, with a 320x256 sensor that gives noticeably more detail than the 256 models at a price well under the 384s. A 19 mm F1.0 lens delivers 3x base magnification with digital zoom to 22.5x, and a 6 foot heat source shows up to about 950 meters (1,039 yards), enough to pick out coyotes across a field or hogs in a bottom. The lens has a focus ring for sharpening the image at distance. The V2 platform brings a removable, rechargeable 18650 battery (two included) for up to 6 hours and a tilt sensor that shuts the display off when you lower the unit. 50 Hz refresh, 16 GB of recording, Wi-Fi to the AGM Connect app, IP67 waterproof, and AGM's 5-year transferable warranty.
