Too bad you are having trouble with your's WF but I look forward to hearing how the CS goes. In your videos I have seen, it looks like it performs well. I bought mine after watching Todd's review when they were first released and it seemed to meet his expectations so that was good enough for me. I haven't been able to take it hunting yet, I am really looking forward to cooler weather and putting it to work.
Mine works fine for what it is and to be honest with you that blemish that’s visible in the display has never been a serious issue for me. I received my unit back in October.
My IRD has been back to Trijicon a total of three times now and I just got it back for when I hope to be the final time recently and decided this would be as good a time as any to ship the Flir off to have the sensor dusted off. I didn’t want to be down to only one scope and have two off for repairs at the same time.
I have previously sent them some communication outlining exactly what is going on regarding the unit not maintaining it’s user defined settings correctly between power cycle. I have found that using the default outdoor scene mode and black hot seems to be good enough for my purposes and I have not really had any complaints since then, but would like it addressed.
Unless they have their firmware update ready when my unit is received by them, I doubt that issue will be addressed.
But on balance I do like the product and I absolutely love my flir breach. It has far exceeded my expectations as far as being able to detect critters out in open fields a long way away. And being able to walk straight to hogs in a field watching them the whole time is a great thing too.
I hope they don’t abandon hunters at this point and will go ahead and release some 640 based boson products which I believe may help lower overall pricing in marketplace.
