@@gsuit2815I think you're looking at the original model listings or a typo? Everything I can find says it comes with two rechargeable battery packs and a battery charger and is still capable of allowing the use of external battery packs. Which I don't see much of a use for external battery packs when one of the included battery packs lasts for 9 to 11 hours of continuous use....
@@AGMusa because we as consumers have no control over the availability of replacement proprietary batteries, of course... whos to say you guys will have these available for sale in 6mo? What about in 3 years? Unless an adapter for readily available standard batteries is released, I will not be purchasing this product.
BINGO. I'd opt for another V1 if not (hopefully they'll keep producing THOSE, but I doubt it). World comes to an end, who wants to stop to charge batteries? How WOULD you even? Yet I can easily keep a 10-year supply of CR123s handy. SAME REASON I don't like rechargeable LIGHTS... NOT what you want after a MAJOR HURRICANE, for example.
Seeing this makes me glad I bought a v1 on deep discount on Black Friday 2023. I don’t want a field device which I can’t power from primary cells (Although I love having usbc power as a backup/for observation). Cr123, lithium AA or aaa, cr2032, 1632 are what I stack deep.
english please…i’m getting my first thermal to put on my .300 blackout and don’t understand what you are saying about the batteries…i’m interested though
The v1 ran off of cr123, you could pack 10 of them with you and just swap when dead. The battery on the v2 is rechargeable and unique to the v2. Can't use external power source, i.e. power battery pack via USBc like the v1. Overall, less versatile power source on the v2.
YEP. As I said above: "I'd opt for another V1 if not (hopefully they'll keep producing THOSE, but I doubt it). World comes to an end, who wants to stop to charge batteries? How WOULD you even?

YES, as long as conditions don't get primitive, rechargeables are "OK". But when the CHIPS (read: GRIDS) ARE DOWN...
This unit DOES accept a cr 123 battery. It goes inside a turret cap..It accepts one cr 123, and lasts about 1 - 1.5 hours..It is used as a backup to the internal battery.
You can add a riser base if you would like, but the nature of all thermals and the eye relief makes MBUS highly impractical as you would be sacrificing primary usage.
why do you say that??? i’m trying to find my first thermal to go on my .300 blackout…is this not a good scope? i really just want onboard recording and audio and if not to expensive 640 resolution
@@FilmJunkieOutdoors I LOVE my Rattler V1 (TS25-384), and my DREAM is a TS50-640! Don't hesitate! Just get a V1 if you want to use commonly-available batteries (CR123), or the V2 if you're a fan of proprietary rechargeables! Can easily hit a "baby rabbit-sized" target (3 of 3 shots in two hand warmer packets side-by-side, about 3" x 4") @ 100 yds. w/my Mini-14.
Had a change to see one at the local gun shop. Honestly worth the price fantastic quality and response time.
Was excited until I saw the proprietary battery - hopefully you will include/release an adapter for CR123s/another ubiquitous battery type.
On their website it states you have the option of 123A or battery pack
@@gsuit2815where does it say that

It's very so good 👍❤
Saw Nubs share your thermal. Definitely interested

I Love it 😍💘🎉❤,Oh! It's Beautiful 🤩
Can someone explain why the thermal was showing the reflection of the hog (in the water)?
I'll enjoy taking the yotes and post the results of that badass scope!!
We love to hear it!
Do they come in the clip on as well ??
WHERE DO I FIND THAT LEATHER STRIP TO GO ON THE STOCK? i’ve been looking all morning and cannot find it
Where’s the audio..?
What’s the main difference between the regular and the v2?? Seems the same but just the battery really
The frame rate is doubled, and the FOV is increased for the same resolution. Also now can record audio. It is a major upgrade.
This unit DOES accept a cr 123 battery. It goes inside a turret cap..It accepts one cr 123, and lasts about 1 - 1.5 hours..It is used as a backup to the internal battery.
Are these rated for 308 / 30-06?
No issues on an ar-10
And no mount option that will sit on top of MBUS sights.... Sad. Have to remove them just to mount that optic.

His extreme head movements turned me off of this video... Yes, it was THAT annoying.
Look at all these crybabies. Lol. There are other brands that will tickle your fancy.
Price: 4999 for shitty version
