Price, clarity, zoom, recording etc????
Maybe the Thor's are much more expensive??
I am seriously considering the Flir RS64-35mm.
Thanks for all of your help and illustrations.
The unit that compares closest specification-wise with the RS64 1.1X is the
ATN ThOR 640 1.5X. That unit has a 30mm lens a 21 deg FOV. The unit that compares most closely image-wise is the
ATN ThOR 640 1.1X. That unit has a 19mm lens and an 18 deg FOV.
The RS and ThOR units are priced pretty similarly. Maybe $2-500 more for a comparable ThOR unit. Some units you can get for right around the same price.
I haven't spent a ton of time with any of the RS64s yet so I can't speak to the clarity. I did notice on the 32s that the image on a 320 core thor seemed to have a little more contrast, and I think that is most likely due to the OLED display.
There is one more level (8x) of digital zoom on the 640 ThOR units, but at that level the image is degraded and I hardly ever use the 8x e-zoom. The zoom on the RS unit is set up where you can zoom in and zoom out with 2 different buttons. The zoom on the ThOR is set up with 1 button and it toggles 1X,2X,4X,8X,1X,2X,4X,8X etc..
Both units have a video out and recording is done pretty much the same way. The RS is via a USB and the ThOR is via an MCX.
More images coming soon. We will get them done just as soon as we can.
