Review: Great product if your looking for thermal imager for close ... - Great product if your looking for thermal imager for close range support. It was not designed for long range scanning and weapon mounting. If you can live with that, then this product is for you. It is extremely light weight and works very well mounted on a helmet. Very great picture definition for a 320 sensor. Not the sharpest sensor on the market or widest FOV, but it does bring a lot to the table for it’s decent price. It makes a world of a difference for hunters, law enforcement or military personnel who are tracking a person or an animal. The product has two downfalls in which I hope FLIR fixes with a firmware update. - The Battery indicator is inaccurate. It would indicate a full battery and then the unit will shut off without notification because the battery died. This is deadly if you are using this to track a suspect as it’s advertised to be used. - The preview selection does not allow you to preview the pictures or videos. For the most part this unit continues to impress me when I use it in different environments. Very sharp and detailed imaging of your environments. And the outdoor alert setting uses a black hot palette but introduces a red highlight of objects or animals that stand out in the environment. Very cool palette setting. Also I have been trying to contact FLIR on the water resilience of this product and still have not received an answer back. I found one website that listed it at ip67 which is 3 meters for 30 min. Review: Awesome present - I've been hunting and hunting for the perfect x-mas gift. It took me a while to save up, but this was so worth it!! Didn't suspect a thing! 0 Hubs open the box and paused. He knows was Flir was but wasn't sure he was seeing this correctly. He looked up a bit shook. "This.... Isn't what I think it is, is it? Flir?!" Well, guess you gotta open it to find out. He did and loved it. Now, I gotta think of another crazy amazing gift for next year but honestly, I don't know if I can top this. Thermals eat battery life but it's so fun to play with! 10/10. ## Features - UNMATCHED TACTICAL AWARENESS: Harness the power of the Boson 12μm thermal core to spot suspects and wildlife in total darkness.

Rabbit sized, 100 yards. **Q: Will it work with (pvs14) J- arm ?** A: Flir discontinued all adapters and mounts, such a shame! MOD armory selling their adapter $174, ridiculous! **Q: What would be a good thermal for looking for bigfoot?** A: Even the expensive thermals will not show much detail at anything much more than 100 yards. Sasquatch are not going to get nearly close enough to you to make these viable. Get a small flir TK and a digital night vision monocular with a recorder. Bestguarder is a good one. The flir will help you spot heat signatures and the digital monocular can record a good video or image. This will set you up and only set you back about $800.00. I learned this the hard way $$$$$ **Q: Can usb-c battery pack power the breach without a battery inside?** A: Yes It will work with or without a battery. If battery is installed it will use internal battery power until drained and then usb pack ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product if your looking for thermal imager for close ... *by T***D on May 9, 2018* Great product if your looking for thermal imager for close range support.

The weather was cold, wet, and muddy. This breach unit did a fine job of helping identify people along the fence line, and at one point I could clearly make out a raccoon with her little babies following her across the dirt road about 100 yards away in multicolor HD mode. I'd give it five stars but the battery life was pretty poor. FYI, I hooked it up to my 23000 mah external battery with a USB-C cable and it powered it all night long no problem. For the size, I'd say this little guy performs really well, just get and external battery if you'll be using it longer than an hour or so. ## Frequently Bought Together - FLIR Breach PTQ136 Multi-Purpose Thermal Imaging Monocular, Black - SureFire SFLP123 3V Lithium 450mAh - SureFire SF12-BB Boxed Batteries, (12 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/63233443-flir-breach-ptq136-thermal-monocular-320x256-boson-60hz-ip67](https://www.desertcart.us/products/63233443-flir-breach-ptq136-thermal-monocular-320x256-boson-60hz-ip67) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
