Very informative video on this unit! Have the same one and definitely struggles in high humidity conditions, run on helmet also for hands free operation.
I have the V2 mh25 and also an AGM taipan tm19-384. The base 2x mag on the tm19-384 makes it a far superior long distance scanner than the mh25. The mh25 tends to black out shadowed areas pretty bad no matter what color pallete i use, even at distances of only like 50 yards. While the tm19-384 i can clearly see under shaded treelines even out to 500+ yards. And im nit talking about detecting heat at 500yards. Im talking about i can clearly see under the treeline as if i was using night vision. Even at 640 resolution, the mh25 produced lack luster clarity at longer distances compared to the tm19-384 at 384 resolution. Id say the mh25 definitely works better as a short range helmet mounted thermal. I can actually navigate in the dark quite easily. But the tm19-384, which is only $1300, is more practical for hunters. If i had to choose only one, id honestly go for the tm19-384 or the upgraded tm25 version for only $1600. Im glad i only paid $3999 canadian ($2800 USD) for my mh25.
I would like to add that after setting the sharpness setting to 4 on the MH25, the images at longer distances are much clearer. Tho, the shadow effect at longer distances is still there. I also have to constantly readjust the focus when looking at something at 50yrds and then at 100yrds. So the image quality is indeed superior on the MH25(when sharpness is turned up), but the AGM taipan tm19-384 is still the better long range thermal with its built in 2x magnification I don't regret the MH25, but it does have its quirks
@@yoinkyIt's likely because the AGM doesn't use an OLED screen. The darker areas will inherently be lighter on an AGM. For the MH25v2 to show details in dark areas, you'll have to drop the contrast or increase the brightness or both.
The MH25 is not compatible with a daytime scope. It can not be used as a stand alone scope either. It only functions as a monocular. You would have to go to the RH25 if you wanted to utilize it as a scope or with a scope.
I run the Anker battery pack. It is rechargeable. I'll attach a link here: outdoorlegacygear.com/products/anker-powercore-10-000-mah-usb-battery?_pos=1&_sid=62da24336&_ss=r
