User questions & answers

Question:	What is the refresh rate
Answer:	I think it is 30 hz. It has much better image quality and is a lot heavier than the Flir 320. It also can send video/photo to an internal SD card or playback via Bluetooth to your phone. I love mine.
Question:	I use this in a survival game. Can you find people hiding in the daytime forest? The temperature is 10-30 degrees
Answer:	Absolutely
Question:	Can i use it for rifles like ak-47 and ar
Answer:	No, these do not have any kind of mount. The Thor is the model that had a weapon mount.
Question:	What's the range
Answer:	Animals and humans are visible out to several hundred yards but much beyond 100 yards or so they will just be a small blobs of pixels, very difficult to identify. I would say identifying a small animal like a coyote or rabbit is limited to about 50 yards or less, larger animals a bit further. Generally I would say this is a very short range thermal optic.

User questions & answers

Question:	I use this in a survival game. Can you find people hiding in the daytime forest? The temperature is 10-30 degrees
Answer:	Are you hunting humans like the show the most dangerous game. If so this is cheating. Shame on you.
Question:	Can i use it for rifles like ak-47 and ar
Answer:	That is a hard question to answer not having a range finder on my thermal. You can see thermal signatures well over a 1000yds, but here in East Texas I don't hunt anywhere that I could view that kind of distance, however at 350 yards, I can easily determine what animal I am looking at whether it is a pig, raccoon, buck or doe, I can even see a mouse at that distance. I know that may not be the answer your looking for, but I hope it helps.
Question:	Is this unit a true thermal rifle scope? With various thermal video coloring options
Answer:	i believe 50hz
Question:	What's the range
Answer:	The specified video recording frame rate is 30 frames/second. They do not have a spec for sensor framing rate but direct viewing or reviewing video appears as good as television when viewing motion of an object.
Question:	I use this in a survival game. Can you find people hiding in the daytime forest? The temperature is 10-30 degrees
Answer:	They just go over the binocular eye viewers with some stretching. You could use some glue if not stating on with friction.
Question:	what is the max range this can see a thermal signature ? wolf/bear/Bison @ 1500 yards
Answer:	Hello, These eyecups will fit eyepieces that are 28mm to 30.5mm in diameter at the top of the eyepiece. They will not fit a 25mm in diameter eyepiece. Unfortunately, we do not have a component that will fit that size. Thanks, OMAX
Question:	How many hertz are in this scope
Answer:	The inside diameter of the optic hole is 21MM. The inside diameter of the gripping ring is approximately 29MM. They slip on and are held by the gripping ring, they DO NOT screw on.
Question:	what Hz is it
Answer:	I am sorry I am not sure don’t have the answr

Product description

Own the night with the ATN PVS14/6015-WPT 3rd-Generation Multi-Purpose Night Vision Monocular with Headgear. This 3rd-generation night vision monocular is optimized for the needs of law enforcement and military personnel and can be used as a handheld device or be mounted on your firearm or headgear. This waterproof, durable, ergonomic, and ultra-compact night-vision device measures only 4. 5" in length and can be coupled with the same unit for binocular operation. Its optical system is built around a 3rd-generation intensifier tube, enhanced with white phosphor screen technology. Unlike generic image-intensifier tubes (IITs), the white phosphor screen generates high-resolution black-and-white images. The tube also features a manual gain for more control of image properties. The f/1. 2, 27mm lens system offers coated all-glass elements, a 9. 8" close-focus distance, and a wide 40° angle of view. To protect the tube from accidental damage due to flashes of light, the electronics feature a bright light cutoff function, and to ensure proper brightness and contrast it has an automatic screen brightness control. Another highlight is a built-in illuminator for casting extra infrared light on your targets in total darkness. To enable operators to venture almost anywhere, this night vision device uses only one AA battery and has a waterproof polymer body that can also withstand extreme temperatures—from -60 to 120°F (-51 to 49°C). For ease of adjustment and non-slip operation in any weather, all the rings and adjusters are heavily knurled. To make for a comfortable fit and prevent leakage of light exiting the eyepiece, the ocular is outfitted with an extra-wide rubber winged eyecup. Finally, to protect the exterior optics form weather and scratches, the monocular also includes two demist shields and a sacrificial objective filter. Features: Night Vision Sensor & IR Illuminator: - 3rd-generation intensifier tube - 64 lp/mm resolution - Manual gain control - White phosphor screen creates black-and-white images - Bright light cutoff is triggered when 100-300 lux of light lasts for 10 seconds - Automatic brightness control - Built-in IR illuminator Optical Performance: - 1x magnification - Compatible with optional lenses - All-glass optics - Polished lens coatings - 40° wide angle of view - f/1. 2, 27mm lens system - 9. 8" minimum focus distance Use and Handling: - +2 to -5 diopter correction - Built-in IR and low-battery indicators - Can be used as a handheld device or mounted on firearm and headgear - Two included demist shields and a sacrificial filter help protect the exterior optics - Adjustable headgear included Construction Details: - Durable and lightweight polymer - Compact and ergonomic design - Built-in mounting screw socket - Knurled adjusters and rings give a non-slip grip - Tethered battery cap - Wide winged rubber eyecup - Waterproof Specifications: - Magnification: 1x - Angle of View: 40° - Lens System: f/1. 2, 27mm - Minimum Focus Distance: 9. 80" - Dioptric Correction: +2 to -5 - Infrared Illuminator: Yes, Built In - Battery / Runtime: 1 AA/50 Hours - Weatherproofing: Waterproof - Operating Temperature: -60° F to 120° F - Storage Temperature: -60° F to 185° F - Dimensions: 4. 50" x 2. 25" x 2" - Weight: 12. 5 oz. - Color: Matte Black Intensifier Tube: - 3rd generation - GaAs photocathode - Manual gain control - 22 SNR - 64 lp/mm resolution - White phosphor screen

User questions & answers

Question:	is there any way you can buy something to make it more shockproof for my daughter
Answer:	Huffy does not test or calculate the ultimate weight bearing property of its bicycles. The adult bicycles have been used extensively by riders in the weight range of 200 to 300 pounds. We do not have use information on riders over 300 pounds. Typically it is the dimensions of the individual that makes a Huffy product uncomfortable or unusable , not the weight of the individual.
Question:	What type of battery does this camera use? Is it rechargeable
Answer:	pedals come with the bicycle and thread into the crank arms
Question:	How many languages does this digital camera support
Answer:	The shipping weight is 41.88 lbs. Could probably take 5-6 lbs off for packaging material.
Question:	How do you post on YouTube
Answer:	we believe the 16.5 frame would require at least a 31" inseam to stand over the frame

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i connect this camera to my computer with a usb
Answer:	I have just purchased two of these (Elph 180). The first thing I noticed is that Canon has not improved the access door (battery/ sd card slot) in the many years since I had my first point& shoot Canon. (I have a canon rebel too - different story) The reason I am telling you this is that I urge you to buy a cable to download your shots, and clear the SD card from your camera. Every time you open and shut this little door, the weaker it becomes. Eventually you will be forced to tape the door shut to use the camera. I did this for years because I loved the camera. Finally I just got tired of it and bought the rebel. If the only time you have to open the door is to charge the battery, you will extend the usable life of the door HUGELY. As with most technology today, it's longevity depends on its weakest point. One of the two I purchased is for a 12 yr. old - I bought cables for both of us. My opinion: It's worth it because Canon still makes the best lenses.
Question:	Does this have an automatic shutoff If I forget to turn it off
Answer:	I don`t think so. But you`ll know if it`s on. When it`s on, the lens moves way out. When it`s off, it retracts, so the camera is flat. It would be very hard to forget to turn the camera off, or forget you left it on.
Question:	Do you have to remove the battery from the camera in order to charge it
Answer:	Does this camera come with a charger? It says it comes with a rechargeable battery but it isn’t saying anything about a charger. And from looking at other people’s comments I’m thinking it doesn’t come with a charger. So if not then what are you suppose to do cause it’s not regular batteries it’s the rectangle flat battery
Question:	I notice the usb cable has to be purchased separately. does this camera require any special type of usb cable
Answer:	The camera uses sd memory, so you dont need usb cable if your computer has a sd slot

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the lens (mm) for UV filter
Answer:	I use 40.5mm Hoya filters on my TG-6 and TG-5.
Question:	I bought a fuji xp, highly rated as well, but was disappointed with the overall quality, underwater looked flat. should i expect better from this
Answer:	The Olympus TG-6 will produce very good UW images if used it correctly. Ideally the underwater mode is selected and the correct white balance depth is chosen. UW photography helps tremendously from having clear water and strong frontlit sunlight with no clouds . You also usually need to get pretty close to your subject. Without those you may need strobes or to use a flash. If want to learn more about TG UW photography google "tg-5 backscatter tutorial". In some cases after all that, the images yes will be a bit flat and you will need to do some post-processing. TG-6 images are good quality and tend to respond well to PP, especially if you use a raw file and a raw editor like light room. You can also use a free editor like Gimp...which can easily take care of flat image. Gimp > Color > Brightness-Contrast > Contrast (crank it right and the flatness should magically go away). Gimp can also do a good job with white balance correct (although LR is likely better at both tasks).
Question:	Does this camera come with a lens cover
Answer:	No. In spite of this, I have never smudged the lens. It is recessed enough that even when doing VERY close-up macro shot, the lens stays clean. If you are going to chuck the camera into a (filthy) jacket pocket, then something like the Olympus Lens Barrier LB-T01 would be for you. I have used the Olympus CLA-T01 Conversion Lens Adapter which comes with the traditional clamp-on lens cover. It usually stays in-place. For real dirty and dusty locations, I use a screw-on UV filter to keep the optics from getting scratched by wind-driven grit. I hope this helps.
Question:	What is the difference between the tg5 and the tg6? the specs are virtually identical
Answer:	There are some noteworthy improvements. Chromatic aberration is reduced, the purple orb issue has been reduced, you can now shoot microscope videos and you can use aperture mode with microscope mode. The TG-6 images are also a bit darker and less likely to be over-exposed. I think there is an improvement in image quality. The TG-6 is also a bit more rugged (thicker lcd, better for reduction, etc). The biggest improvement is in the lcd screen.
