Thermal scopes and predator hunting are things I’ve taken a recent interest in. In pursuit of those, I’m testing the new Athlon Cronus ATS Thermal Scope. Check it out in this video.

Heya Gavin, nice review of the thermal scope. I've got a cheaper Hikvision thermal scope, pretty happy with it even with a thermal sensor about 1/3 the resolution as yours but at $2000 Cdn the price is right and we can import them here. In regards to the fun you are having with having to heat targets IE. I found that if you fold up a small square of tinfoil and staple it to a cardboard or plywood the thermals can pick up the difference and give you a good point of aim.

@saltymofo5870 7 месяцев назад

I’ve had my one and only Athlon experience, when I received my replacement scope l immediately traded it off before opening the box.

@daveyelverton6287 7 месяцев назад

Take a look through a Trijicon IR Hunter 35mm. You'll be surprised at the difference, and the Trijicon doesn't cost that much more. JMO.

@TapRackBang72 4 месяца назад

$6000 (Trij) vs. $2200 (Ath) - that's a huge differential

Im a huge fan of their midas tac, have 6 of them, but ill stick woth atn for thermal or night vision.

@johncashwell1024 7 месяцев назад

For myself, I went with the Trijicon IR-Hunter. It has the same image quality but is made in The USA. I just couldn't bring myself to spend thousands of dollars for Chinese. So I spent 1.5x that and got the Trijicon.

@seetownwv 7 месяцев назад

Thermals are almost getting like cell phones anymore. Updated all the time for clarity an features and their trying to bring market prices down to where they can sell more. Even a cheap thermal isnt cheap

@amac3660 7 месяцев назад

Humm,,? Seems very similar to the I Ray Bolt V2. Minor differences.

@jessebodey9421 7 месяцев назад

Thermals are more compact, however, I like the pulsar c50 night vision because its like watching a real video vs the animated color from thermal. Also, I can identify better what I am looking at. Some pet dogs look like coyotes in thermal.

@seetownwv 7 месяцев назад

I do like the identifying aspect of night vision. I recommend it to anyone who does not do a whole lot of night hunting or budget. If you get a good 384 or 640 though I think you can identify pretty well to 300 yards once again depending on budget. Thing aggravated me about night vision was light reflecting on tall grass or tree limbs or even snow.

@jessebodey9421 7 месяцев назад

The pulsar c50 is quite impressive, even without ir on. It is also better now as far as reflection. You still have some reflection though.@@seetownwv

@terrycrissman7392 7 месяцев назад

I don’t think the Digex C50 is promoted because it’s not a big profit margin.

@terrycrissman7392 7 месяцев назад

C50 and a 384 scanner would be ideal.

@BloodChocolate 7 месяцев назад

Gas lighter on a used shell casing, put it in a hole, torch it red and walk back 100yards (or meters) and you still got about 1-3 minutes to shoot.

@txpredatorhunting 7 месяцев назад

Curious if video represents what you are seeing in person very well? I like the way you made the vid. Going through the app etc.

@danielrouw2593 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately every thermal I'm aware of uses compression on the video output and recording. The eyepiece display typically uses a separate pathway to minimize latency and retain image quality.

@alanmehl8262 7 месяцев назад

I just got mine in a few days ago, the in person view is much better.

@nichmaus8705 6 месяцев назад

It's a pulsar. Did they just rebrand a pulsar?

I split a halo xrf to go on a scar 20 with my father for christmas. If you can justify the 9500 for it i totally would. Its a tank and fully made in america so if you have problems its easily fixed, not that you will probably. This thing looks mid tier as hell.

I love Athlon!! but I look at how long ATN has been making thermals so I feel like they have worked out all the bugs that Athlon will likely come across. How do u think this compares to the ATN?

@seetownwv 7 месяцев назад

I think ATN for a good while was ahead of the game for price point. But now there is several that are the same money as ATN an clearer.

@KevinWood44 7 месяцев назад

@@seetownwv such as? Thanks

@seetownwv 7 месяцев назад

You can get a good 384 between 2 an 3k. I seen AGM has a 640 on sale for 3k. I think everyone realized how good ATN was doing at their price point an are trying to get there. I had an ATN 4K it was a great scope. Far as night vision with a good IR light I don't think you can beat them

@KevinWood44 7 месяцев назад

@@seetownwv Very cool thanks. I was looking at the Wulf clip on. It was only about $400 - but that NV not thermal - Thermal is so much better - I aprpeciate your feedback

@seetownwv 7 месяцев назад

@KevinWood44 I seen IRAY just released recently a thermal scanner for 700. It's only a 256 but from videos I was impressed. Be a great benefit with night vision to help spot stuff further out to get you on it quicker. You should be able to get a good night vision for 600 or less. Wraith is fairly cheap never looked through one but never heard anything bad. Good IR light makes difference on any of them.

Max detection is 3600yrds, max recognition range is just over 2000yrds. But realistically, max for telling difference between a boar and a coyote is around 1500yrds.

Atn battery life is adult 18 hours I doubt this will match that with both batteries. After a few hunts,scanning an area you will be wanting to invest in a pair of thermal binos. Swinging that rifle around gets tiresome, I drink the ATN koolaid,great customer service. Have fun!

@theroc495 7 месяцев назад

Well, ive bought quite a few items you reviewed, i mean ALOT...but ive reviewed countless videos on thermals, looked thru so many from ats, nvision, irayusa, and on and on... With that said, this thermal is the bottom of all thermals ive seen, very unimpressive and over priced...i guess its ok if given to you, huh Gavin

@marcostreet3169 7 месяцев назад

After all your reviews which thermal is the best affordable scope?

@theroc495 7 месяцев назад

@marcostreet3169 ...that's a good question, I've been researching all the 640 units, the build, the image quality, nedt, display and warranty with custermer service. My choice, for the money is the new iray RH50R with the LRF $5500. I'm putting my deposit down this Wed. But for what I've seen, I guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder and I didn't really care for the image from ats, and reviews were not favorable buy I still wanted to see for myself

@someolddude7076 7 месяцев назад

I agree about Iray, these look really good. I’ve been reviewing a lot as well. It’s just the cost for me. All of them are expensive and I can’t justify spending 3000 or more for most of them, to the misses. I’m still waiting for the Holosun thermal to be released and some reviews. I’m betting that will be a game changer and well under 2k

@theroc495 7 месяцев назад

@someolddude7076 ...i do believe that iray introduced a new therm this shot show that was $2000-2500...check out the new therms from shot show videos, iray, pulsar and a few others, but iray has a new one like I said, maybe something for you to look into
