InfiRay Finder FH35R Thermal Scanner with LRF - User Review and Comparison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- This is my user impressions and review on the new InfiRay Finder FH35R. I've had this device in real hunting usage conditions for around 25 hours so far. It's an excellent little thermal scanner and well worth considering if your in the market for a device with an inboard laser rangefinder (LRF). This isn't a "how to" video with boring unboxing and basic menu function explanations. This is my handle on the FH35R as a shooter and user.

Awesome video mate. You can see why these have quickly become our fastest selling monocular.
What an excellent product review without any of the usual BS. I formerly used HIK top unit and lesser Pulsars until this latest Helion after listening and watching you and thus I completely concur with your Helion comments - it’s the best - but as you say - at a price. I have to say that if I wanted to get an informed and detailed review of my products in field use out there, I’d ask Nathan!
Hugely appreciate that comment and feedback mate 👌
Havent even gotten through the ads yet and I already know the videos gonna be lit. Always awesome content
Thanks mate 🍻
Always great information and well presented mate . Thankyou👍
Cheers Robbo 👌
Excellent review mate, and just about the same conclusion I came to with this unit. I purchased my first ever thermal device at the British Shooting Show a few weeks ago, had my heart set on the FH25R after seeing all the rave reviews, until the guy on the InfiRay stand handed me the FH35R. What a machine, field of view and picture clarity is the best I've seen so far (not had chance to look through a Thermion yet!) and he did me a deal there and then cheaper than I expected to pay for the 25, result! He also mentioned that the microphone option should be made available in the near future with an upcoming firmware update, and possibly full detail view (ie. rangefinding distance) on recordings, fingers crossed! ;)
That's awesome you like it so much. I'm still really happy with mine. As for the microphone, I doubt an update can fix it. My information is that the mic is mounted internally and is the same as the Rico series. A firmware update can't fix a hardware issue unfortunately. But I'd be happy if they do it !!!
Excellent demonstration and explication. Not something I would use but if I do get to the point where I need one, this review is where I'll start.
Good work mate :)
Thanks Dave
Honest review .Really helpful to somebody in the market for new kit.
Thanks Derek 🍻
Great review Nathan. Very concise and informative mate.
Thanks mate 🍻
Just brought the infiray e2n thermal handhell. Have to say very impressed. I was saving up for the $3-4k pard but cheaped out n dont regret it. Was watching a mouse at 55m on the thermal setting.
The budget thermals ATM are much better than the mid range gear of a few years ago 👌
@@MyChannel-b5f makes sense i guess. The tech is exploding. $900 for a handheld thermal! Awesome. Im only shooting upto 100m unlike you so the low res i get is plenty.
As usual I always find you videos excellent and informative.
Something that I would really like to see is how you actually juggle all the gear you have.
Do you use it all when seated on the quad? Do you scan first then hop off the quad and setup a stand to shoot from? Do you have separate stands for different situations? Do you walk along with all this stuff hanging around your neck? Is there really a god?
A video of you doing the business would be fantastic!
Cheers Nathan. 😉👍
I do all of the above at all different times 😜 (big pockets)
Another great review in the real world Nathan, when people are spending a lot of money. Essential to buy the right device to avoid targeting mistakes.
Exactly 👌
The app now has full control of the device over WIFI. Its very nice.
great review！！！I’ll keep on loving infiray
Great review mate.what’s the best screen to run with this finder? Cheers
I’ve been looking at these, what a nifty unit they are 👌🏻
Great matter of fact review, keep up the good work!
Cheers Tim
Spot On Mate! No More Said.
Great review Nathan, your timing is excellent as I am currently researching for a new thermal monocular with a range finder. Finding it harder to judge those distances on game at night and the SH35R seems to tick all the boxes. Keep the reviews and hunting videos coming.
Appreciate it Bob
@@MyChannel-b5f Mate I placed an order with Craig last night and he has already sent it express, I cant recommend him or his service more, great guy to deal with, hope more of your viewers reach out him, looking forward to the FH35R arrival.
Awesome mate 👌
Sick thanks for the review, good stuff
Thanks mate 🍻
Excellent review mate. You have me sold when i can get the funds together. 😂
This would be awesome for your country up there 👊
@@MyChannel-b5f yes. Half the time i am guessing distances and often in way out and miss my target. Because my thermal scope is mounted so high above the bore, knowing the distance to the target and imputing it into the scope or working out how much holdover ect would make life so much easier. Find it so hard using my pard 008LRF after so much time on the thermal scope. So I think the FH35R is the answer. 👍
Great video - I have just ordered one
Good choice!
***** THANKS *****
Hi Nathan thank you for the wonderful review it’s very interesting how you Tell it as it is , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
Glad you liked the review Cliff 🍻
Great honest review Nathan, as always ..
Next you need to get the new Axion XG35 to test directly against it .. not too long a wait for them hopefully ..
I reckon that would be a very interesting comparison indeed 😃
Nicely put together 👍
I'll stick with my trusty axion xm30s for now ....
Great way to test a thermal camera, view a cow having a crap. Luv yer work
😂 Couldn't help myself
very good advise
Cheers
Big Jim
Glad it helped mate
Very useful info. thanks.
Great review very interesting thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks mate 🍻
Hi Nathan, love the channel and all your videos. I am in the UK and work in wildlife management but don't have wild pigs just a few escaped wild boar but these are growing in population and spreading. I hunt of a quad also shotting rabbits and foxes mainly, can you tell me the make of your IPS screen and is that hard-wired also? does the InfiRay just need the HDMI cable going to the IPS screen and the USB C connection to a 12v power socket? Many thanks Ian
Hi Ian, I just messaged you on Patreon. You'll find exactly what your after on that platform as I filmed a specific review on my IPS setup over there. Chat to you on Patreon. Happy to send you direct links etc.
Enjoyed the vid, and great tech. I'm glad you fellas know what you are talking about, but happy for feral removal. Cheers. 😆 🤣
Great review (of course!) 👍👍👍👍
Appreciate it mate 👌
Starting A Wild Dog Hunt I recon Ill go for this
They work very very well
@@MyChannel-b5f Was sitting in a camp on my own about 2 months ago and some other campers decided to rock up at 11pm. The next day they asked me if I had a dog. I don't have a dog so a wild dog came almost all the way in. I didn't even see it.
Ghosts they can be
@@MyChannel-b5f Not wrong there
I've used this out in the field a few times, it has a quick on/off button press that turns the screen on and off in a second after initial boot up.
Thanks
No problem
Excellent and honest review. For the remote mounting, was it a mini HDMI to USB that you used? And what was the second cable plugged in?
Hello, the cable is mini HDMI into the scanner, and I run HDMI into a screen. The second cable is USB-C and power.
@@MyChannel-b5f
Hell, that was quick. Thank you very much for that. 👍
Nice video👌🏼👍🏻
Appreciate it mate 👌
infiray finder fh35r vs pulsar axion 2 xq35 lrf?
Pros and cons?
Here in Sweden they have the same price and I’m planning to get one of them and need to fond out wich.
The FH35R is the better image mostly as it is 640 resolution. A better comparison would be the XG35 LRF vs FH35R. That is something I hope to test soon.
@@MyChannel-b5f please do this comparison [ XG35 vs FH35] I bet a heap of people would be keen to see this. Thanks
Bit rain up that way Qld 10FT guess the Murray river will flood soon all the way down here to SA
Few years ago we need water draught . Guess every dam be full as now the 10year cycle floods
Great video, helped me to decide to purchase it. Great to hear that your audio also doesn't work, I thought mine is damaged. Only when connected and recorded via the app the sound recording works. Maybe someone knows what could be wrong with sound recording?
I don't think they ever fixed the audio. It'll be due to the mic location
@@MyChannel-b5f thank you for your feedback. I contacted the producer, so let's see if they will reply 😁
@@MyChannel-b5fIndeed I got the feedback from Infiray today: "The issue can be settled by replacing inner MIC board, which is under verification and will be available in early October.
Will let you know and arrange your update once verification completed."
Hope this will solve the issue!
Hello Nathan love the review , what thermal would you pick out of the one in the review or HIKMICRO Falcon FH35. Which is the better unit based on quality not price
Both good units, personally I like the finders as I can hardwire the image on a screen with quality losses.
@@MyChannel-b5f thank you very much for the response
Good video other than the huge cow taking a huge dump at 0.30 🤣🤣🤣
Talk about luck or did you wait half an hour for that??? 🤨 Are you subliminally trying to say "it's a big pile of poo"? 🤣🤣🤣
I need one of these for night time home security. Looks incredible! Good review. ❤
It's definitely not a pile of poo. Well the scanner certainly isn't 😂. Go put a cow up at night. They always shit everywhere after they have been laying down.
Hi mate. I have just bought one of these based on your video and would like to know what screen you use. Thanks mate and great video.
Hi Lucas. I have a specific video I did on my screen. All the components used with direct links etc. But it's exclusively on my Patreon for tier 3 & 4 access as I was asked by a heap of people to do it.
www.patreon.com/user?u=37396112
£2,599.99 in the UK.
Thanks again Nathan for another great video. How does this unit work during daylight hours? I bowhunt, so it wouldn't have much night-time use.
Thermals still work at all hours, it's just the temperature gaps can be smaller depending on the terrain.
would have been life changing in my day ..89 feral cats north of kalgoolie on dams,in the heat of summer..Great vids .
We were issued .303 & 1942 ammo still in wax paper...Keep up the great vids Nathan ...Be lethal on feral dogs in spinafex country or the rabbit proof fence
We would do 18 days straight feral dog & dingo control ..But never had gear like this ....Love your feral control Nathan , beats the big spotty on cold nights..
Thanks Ian. It's a huge game changer from running lights.
What's better the Infraray FH35R or the Pulsar Axion 2 XG35 thanks?
Both similar but offer small differences which are worth considering. I did cover all that including my thoughts on the XG35. But that's a Patreon Tier 3 & 4 only post.
Gday mate
Having trouble finding a good ir torch to put on my 008
Any suggestions
What country are you in. I run a irlightbuild Sirius.
ya it's a hard life.and don't eat yellow snow.
Hi mate, another great vid.👍
Just wondering what is the hdmi screen you use and how do you power it up on the atv?
Thanks.
Hi Duski, it's an IPS screen. The full details on the screen, parts list, how it's all wired and powered are accessible on my Patreon (Tier 3 & 4). I made as special descriptive video on that platform for supporters.
Fantastic, thanks mate.
Do you have any information on the rig you set up at 15:35? I would love to get something like that set up. Maybe a review of your rig would be great or how it’s made.
I do mate, but that is a special video I did for Tier 3 & 4 on my Patreon if you'd like to watch. I went over everything, including part links etc.
www.patreon.com/user?u=37396112
I want one idk why
Just a question about your reloading. Do you use the same powder in all your different lead loads
Lead loads?
Hi mate,, im seen advertised FH35R Finder ll series!! Is that the upgraded versian of yours or is it the same?
I have no idea if they have upgraded or changed something in the FH35R sorry.
Thanks Nathan! If you had to choose, would you go this or the Hikmicro Owl OQ35? Ignoring the L RF for the moment, which is very handy imo. Cheers :)
I've not used an owl sorry mate. But if it doesn't have a removable battery that's a big tick towards the Finder 👌
@@MyChannel-b5f thanks, that's a very good point! Appreciate you replying.
@@MyChannel-b5f I grabbed one of these three other day and am VERY happy with it! The LRF is excellent and its image quality is bloody good. Such a pocketable size too.
Great to hear 👌
Any likelihood you'll be reviewing the InfiRay Tube TH50?
Hello, is the Image Sharpness function in Finder is similar (or the same) to Contrast adjustment in Pulsars or not?
No, it's not the same adjustment or functionality as the 0 - 20 brightness and contrast on pulsar. It is purely digital image sharpening. IMO around 3 is where I prefer it. 5 is way over the top and 1 is a very blunt image.
@@MyChannel-b5f thank you :)
Nathan. What remote screen/tablet are you using?
I have a full rundown instructional video with parts links for Tier 3 & 4 on my Patreon 👌

@@MyChannel-b5f thought you might. Cheers mate.
Ok can you let us know about the yellow trees in thermal, are they gum trees holding more heat cos of the resin? Cheers bruh
Yellow trees ?? I can't recall what trees they were but would just be a eucalypt of some type that had been sunbaked all day.
@@MyChannel-b5f they were showing up against a lot of greyed out trees I figured they stayed hotter but didn’t know why, anyhow loving the content cheers
Hay mate love you stuff .
I'm buying a exsight ltv day night 5-15 scope , do you kno much about this scope. I've watched heaps of reviews but its all american one's. Just after your thoughts mate .
Sorry mate I've not heard of that brand before at all?
Sorry my bad it's a XSIGHT LTV 5-15 day night digital scope.
Ah an ATN. Sorry to say mate I'm not a fan of that brand. They have a poor track record for freeze ups etc.
It just had to be a cow taking a dump to test the rich textured thermal imagery. Nice one.
😂 Couldn't help myself 😂
Send me the other one….😎😎😎
😂
Scary expensive
Depends on your use and concept of expense and value I guess.
🇦🇺❤️🍺👍
God forbid you ever say anything about price and where to buy it
So I did 😜
first
Another great review in the real world Nathan. Its a real help when people are spending a lot of money. And quality is essential to ensure correct target identification and avoid mistakes.
I'm tossing up this versus the axion 2 XG35 LRF. Which one would you go for Nathan? cheers
Consider the new V2 FH35R also 👍
Shit...thank you mate!
No worries!
Mate, as you have probably found, playing with any night vision is going down the rabbit hole. Thankfully you have allowed a dinosaur to have less time in the warren and more trigger time, cheers dig.
Glad to hear Keith
thanks for your work. Looking at my first thermal. Great review again. Had almost settled on the pulsar you reviewed with slightly lesser specs but now you got me thinking again.
Glad I could help
I’d like to see the INFIRAY UNIQUE UH50 HAND HELD THERMAL IMAGING MONOCULAR equipped with LRF or our Helion coming out with one. I’m being encouraged as mentioned recently to get a Merger but I like to drive with one hand and scan with tother and from what you’ve said it’s really a two handed piece of kit. So I might just follow you again and get an FH35R
If it helps I did try a Infiray zoom ZH50 and it was fooking abysmal 😫
@@MyChannel-b5f Hi Nathan really appreciate your comment I’ll leave that one well alone Thanks Derek
Hi Nathan love your work. Really cool. Have you ran your fh35r to a monitor via a hdmi? I have one my self and it doesn’t want to connect via hdmi. Just hoping its my monitor and nothing wrong with the thermal device. Love to hear your thoughts
Yes mate I run mine off HDMI all the time. Check your lead, they don't seem very robust IMO.
Thanks Nathan. Your work is awesome. Fantastic work you do. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my message 🤟
Excellent review mate.
Thank you kindly
As always great review
Thanks mate 👌
