They would show up as a different color indicating a cooler area on the bodyMore like padding or falsies - thermal signature shouldn't be effected by the inserts.

Don't remember the model number, however it was a fixed mount device interfaced to a GPS chart plotter. It was not a hand held unit.Not going to see the difference on a microbolometer based FPA - skin temp would vary but only a few tens of millidegrees.
A cryocooled MWIR - a good one is amazing
Another fun thing is that most commercial textile dies are completely transparent in SWIR
I am pretty sure you can not use an IR scope hunting in MA anyway
I recall something about “battery operated” scopes. I will have to research it"Artificial light" is prohibited for night time hunting, with the exception of raccoon and opossum.*
*ETA: in MA

I dont think so... but our laws could be interpreted to mean anything ..I recall something about “battery operated” scopes. I will have to research it
After eating beans, I can be detected by my Tachyon trail

Just thought this was interesting, now that all the protests have happened.tensions between civilians and militarized police that are seen as overstepping their authority.
Sounds like a meme.f*** em. Plenty of other companies have the same tech for less money and no virtue signaling
FLIR: “We’re anti hunting so F off civilians. No joy for you.”
Also FLIR: “Use the best tech we have to hunt humans. Go ahead it’s fun.”
See first comment.Government does seem intent on limiting our ability to fight back as they are ramping up infringements upon us
I first read that as "microBLOBometer"Not going to see the difference on a microbolometer based FPA - skin temp would vary but only a few tens of millidegrees.
Would you mind elaborating? I've spent several hours this week looking at thermal monoculars and I'm debating. The Breach seems primarily designed for helmet-mounting, which isn't how I'd use it but the small and light design for easy carry is pretty compelling. On the other hand, if I'm not mounting it and wouldn't mind a few more inches and ounces, would some other monocular on the market in the same price range ($2-3k) have better specs? The 60hz refresh is nice but wondering if something less compact would have more resolution. I'm getting lost as I look at various models from FLIR and Pulsar.I've yet to see any other (reputable) company release a consumer product that exceeds the value of the FLIR Breach PTQ136.

My application would be general scanning while hiking, checking out that noise in the back yard, etc.
It's definitely a helmet first type of monocular. If you don't anticipate using it with a helmet, there are better options. This thing is tiny though and has the minimum specs for a sensor (resolution/framerate) that's useful for me. The battery lasts maybe an hour, so an external is good to have handy/wired up. I often bring it along because it's so small, even when I don't plan to use it. ETA, I would go with device that incorporated a higher resolution sensor if weight isn't a concern.
I don't think you will be able to get the same quality in a 640 sensor.
For target detection the 320 sensor is fine - if you need better imaging then get ready to spend some real money.
I've played with LWIR and MWIR sensors for so long that it's hard to get excited about the consumer stuff but I could never afford the stuff I work with.
How long have you had the Breach? What other models did you consider before getting it?
Big Daddy Unlimited has the Breach for $2024, which looks like a pretty killer deal. I already buy CR123 batteries in bulk and cary a bunch of spares -- tempted to get smallest form factor in the Breach but don't want to ignore something otherwise better and just lacking the helmet mount.
