Whilst still not cheap, the price of thermal imaging devices has finally come down and brought them into reach of the the serious hunter. In this article, I take look at the best low cost thermal monocular currently on the market:
For a fully immersive and better quality view it is hard to beat a good pair of thermal binoculars.
Whilst they are a more expensive option than a thermal monocular, if you can afford it they make the best hand held option to find & track game in complete darkness.
Currently there is a number of options when it comes to thermal imaging and your smartphone:
The least expensive option is by using something like the InfiRay Xinfrared T2 Pro Thermal Eye which consists of a separate thermal camera, an adapter and the necessary cable to connect it with your phone. You then use their App on your phone to display and record the thermal images it collects.
Another option is to get a dedicated smartphone that has an integrated thermal camera. The AGM G2 Guardian (pictured right) or the Cat S60 are good examples.
A dedicated smartphone integrated with thermal imaging capabilities offers several advantages over a thermal camera attachment for your phone:
Convenience: A dedicated smartphone with integrated thermal imaging is certainly more convenient to use as it eliminates the need for a separate thermal camera attachment that you need to carry with you all the time.
Always with you. You don't need to remember to bring the adapter and separate camera along with you and as most people will usually carry their phone wherever they go, an integrated option is always there ready to use and record
A More Seamless Integration: An integrated thermal camera is designed to work with the smartphone's hardware and software, which often results in a better overall user experience.

The Alpen Teton binocular incorporates many metal components and magnesium chassis that protect very high-end optics at a price well below what you would usually expect to pay for an Abbe-Koenig bino. The result is a tough, versatile instrument that delivers a high-quality image and what I consider an excellent low-light capability for a 10x42 binocular.

Assembled in the US using Japanese-made components, these Maven B Series binoculars form part of Maven Optic's elite line of optics that have evolved from their award-winning B.1 Binoculars. Combining a magnesium chassis with metal components, a fully multi-coated optical system that includes ED glass lenses and Dielectric components, this 50mm model is both strong & lightweight and delivers an extremely bright high-quality view for a 12x50 binocular.

Updated from the B.1 series, the 10x42 B1.2 binoculars are smaller, more lightweight, come with improved optics, a much wider field of view, longer eye-relief, a closer minimum focus distance as well as other improvements. The fact that Maven Optics has managed to do all this and keep the cost at the same level results in a high-performance binocular with an incredible performance to price ratio.
