[Music] all right [Music] [pews]
[Music]
it's pretty cool when you see bullet fragments in a thermal now here's the thing guys we've
done some thermals before but this one is brand new just on the market it's The sightmark
Wraith thermal I've been playing with it with about three or four weeks right now and I
gotta say I'm pretty impressed now I've had their sightmark wraith 4K mini which is the
exact same size as this but this is one of the smallest thermals that I've been able
to test now we'll put it side by side to Pulsar later which is kind of uh cheating because
Pulsar is easily three times the price but The sightmark Wraith is supposed to retail
under two thousand dollars you'll see as we shoot some stealing all down there you can
see pretty well with it it is a 384 by 288 sensor and it comes with onboard recording
so we can just push the button have audio and video recording uh you have five different
zero settings a multiple pallet of reticle colors and I think it's like six or so radical
styles with even Mill DOT type so you can actually hold for hold over if you want and
something cool about the five uh zeros that you can program in is that you can also rename
them okay even my Pulsar doesn't do that I have to keep a separate note of okay rifle
gun one is actually this but we can rename them to the caliber to the grains that's we
want now it looks a lot bigger once we put the rubber eye cup in there but you know that's
mainly for at night hunting so you don't have you know your your eye lighting up as the
screen but I gotta tell you so far I've been impressed right now I'm on black hot so I'm
recording so I can superimpose it and you can see exactly what I see let me see that
I think it's when I hold the front button nope that's Zoom let's talk about Zoom then
so now we're on 6X you can see in the bottom left corner uh what is that 8X and then 10x
and then 12x 14x 16x and the target I'm looking at right now is at 100 yards so we have let
me make sure I'm in Focus though yep that's about it so it does pixelate because we are
or not you know Optical zooming this is only a digital Zoom but that does help especially
when you're firing and shooting now those targets out there about 15 minutes ago we
just hit them with a propane torch and that's why you can see them so well so now we're
in Rainbow mode so we can see cold is green hot is white warm is red let's hit it again
there's just green kind of looks like night vision is not buddy all right then let's go
to whatever this reddish pink purple is that's one thing and now we have white hot one thing
I noticed about white hot though if you're looking at uh of faces and don't freak out
when you see people in the optic because it's just the optic we took it off the gun for
that b-roll but when we had it on white you could really see details in faces of the white
hot better I like black hot most of the time because the overall display I I change the
contrast change the brightness so it doesn't Mar my night vision so much and blind you
because that's something you'll notice is you're out there Scouting Around with an optic
and then you take it down you're like I can't see Jack now when it's dark but we'll just
engage some targets out to 100 yards starting at 10 right there all right no big deal let's
see that tree there with that one is about 40 yards cool hit the little plate all right
now that's 75 [Music]
all right now we're going for a hundred oh let's zoom in there we go
[Music]
that was cool I could actually see my splash when I missed hit low right [Music]
this is like a six thousand dollar unit and then we have the sight Mark next to it so
now I did this because one I need side by side stuff because I'm used to it adapting
to just what I have and uh and making it work but when I put something side by side like
this I as well as you will be able to see everything that's the same so when I'm looking
at that plate rack on the side I can see it with my trail a lot clearer than my Than The
Wraith however when I look down range and where the targets are still a little warm
um they almost look clear in the screen of The Wraith but the trail picks up more and
not ambient but background detail so you can see more detail in the trees um but you when
you put them side by side you can kind of still just tell what everything is and it's
just as usable with the with the wraith now here's something I'll tell you this is a hunting
hack that I've used for years now is even if I'm not hunting with the TR with a with
a thermal I bring it with me in my range bag even if it's not on the rifle because I will
look through the trees you'll be able to see your sea deer detect deer coming in five minutes
prior I would not say the ray thermal is battle ready though because this this battery cap
just opens by tapping it on this side lever yeah that's that's a little bit of uh if I
was hunting and had this banging around on me like I usually do walking around with it
on a sling probably need to tape this up so that doesn't happen and while we're on the
subject of batteries the box says that it'll last three and a half to four hours I believe
and that's on two lithium one two threes big tree right there let's see oh yeah that looks
good
sweet so nine millimeter bullet leaves a lot of heat when it hits that's pretty cool the
coolest thing we've done with this so far is if we shot mice with the 22.
so 175 yards out there we have a LaRue sniper Target that we did our propane heat to now
this is nine millimeter 147 grain it's going to drop like the Dickens it is not zero this
is just being lazy the zero still matches the 22. so it's like several feet off with
a slower nine millimeter round though we might be able to see it in flight and like you would
see a trace Mirage we will have a thermal a bullet uh Trace
I hit something
there it is it's like
that looked good I think it may be dropping even more than I think
there we go okay I couldn't have done it without the Tracer it's like artillery because you
can see you can see how high that bullet is and what it's still dropping into to reach
that Target gosh it's so dropped so much
so cool my dog has been sitting there a while I'm going to make him come down and then we're
going to see if we can see his butt print where he's been come here good boy okay oh
yeah you can see where he was sitting very well so that's that heat transfer just onto
wood all right guys that is all I have for you today on the sightmark ray thermal all
in all I've been impressed I have I was skeptical because uh you know sometimes sightmark seems
on the lower end but they really jumped up their game lately and this is cool I mean
it's uh the only thing I had is the complaint was that battery compartment everything else
has worked great the mount is not wonderful but it's worked because we throw it on our
22 and stuff all the time and it's returned to zero just fine haven't had to tweak it
so this is kind of the day you've been waiting for of the more affordable thermal that you
can just just take out and not have to take a mortgage I guess so I guess that's all for
today okay bye
[Applause]
thank you foreign [Music]
did you see that I came in like a wrecking ball
oh perfect
