Yeah I saw that Frank, figured there might have been a few ppl that have bought/received and started using this that would be able to share their experience.

No one else has one yet.

I've had one on order for almost 2 months now. I don't think FLIR has sent any out to dealers other than the demo units that a few have gotten.

That's what I'm saying none have shipped why I do not know. They were supposed to ship the day I released the video.

Usually bugs in the firmware. But as in the past with FLIR they are still on schedule.:rolleyes:

Marketing creates the HYPE and engineering struggles to make it happen.

But I am sure as I type this the units will probably start shipping :D

I am waiting on some feedback from end users and videos, I may get a pair for binos :cool:

I would want something with a focus for that.

I'm glad I waited on my purchase of this scope. Had a feeling that there would be a delay on getting these out and it looks like I was right. Some of the higher end models may have been cancelled too ???

FLIR Thermosight Pro 4-16x50 30Hz Thermal Weapon Sight with Boson 320x256 - Thermal Imaging - New Products - PTS533

FLIR Thermosight Pro 6-24x75 30Hz Thermal Weapon Sight with Boson 320x256 - Thermal Imaging - New Products - PTS733
Have those listings previously had add to cart button's?

They had the "Pre-Order" option before.
In my mind, that doesn't automatically make me believe Flir has in fact discontinued those two products at each of those links. Midway USA does it all the time. They'll use the term discontinued for a product that just happens to not be available. I don't know why they do that in invariably people will wind up asking about it online.

But the way things are going, they could discontinue the whole dang lined up? Haha.

It's been very frustrating how if Flir has handled their boson product release.

They are not cancelled just delayed. it took two years for the pro line to come out with out the FLIR corporate structure getting in the way.

Good to hear. It was your review of that FLIR Thermosight with the boson core that sold me on that unit. As the saying goes, "good things come to those who wait".

I would get the next one up when they finally come out. Just my opinion but an adjustable focus will be worth the extra cost.

Todd - Do you have any feel for FLIR producing a 12 micron Zeus with native mag at 3x ?
I am currently running Zeus Pro 100mm - and close running hogs fill the image.. of course.
1.5x native will not work for me, as I still have ridge top over creek locations that will not allow closer stalking...
