New FLIR Scion OTM with Wi-Fi Launched for Outdoor Enthusiasts
OutdoorHub Reporters 02.20.19
Included in FLIR’s next generation handheld thermal optics is the FLIR Scion Series, which features seven unique thermal monocular models geared towards outdoor recreation/hunting purposes, along with three versions designed specifically for the rigors of law enforcement and other professional uses.
The newly launched Scion™ OTM (Outdoor Thermal Monocular) is a high-tech device designed to increase a hunter’s situational awareness in the most demanding outdoor environments while capturing your hunts and adventures with geotagged video and still images. The Scion OTM is ruggedly built to go with you on any hunting trip regardless of shady weather forecasts, and allows users to quickly detect game animals in low-visibility situations.
Depending on your state’s hunting regulations, FLIR’s Scion OTM can be utilized in several hunting scenarios – I can think of a number off the top of my head, but here are just a few examples: Ensuring no wildlife is using a trail/ field leading to a hunting spot, locating other hunters/campers on public land, scouting for potential game – think coyotes, hogs or any big game animals – and the use I’m looking most forward to.. spotting turkeys in their roosts.
However, aside from its incredible thermal imaging technology – more on that later – another feature that piques my interest is the integrated GPS functionality, which allows you to log your favorite hunting locations, hidden away campsites or wildlife bedding areas – The Scion OTM really opens the door to a whole new world of opportunity! A built-in microSD card slot provides memory storage to capture your wildlife experiences in high-quality thermal imaging so you and your hunting buddies can revisit your most cherished hunts again, and again.
Packed with more features than any other FLIR commercial thermal handheld, the Scion OTM utilizes FLIR’s high-performance Boson® thermal core and a vivid OLED display to provide superb, unwavering vision in your most challenging environments. Also includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and provides long-range detection up to nearly 558 yards, with superior image clarity.
The FLIR Scion OTM is available now in the United States starting at $2,495 MSRP through established FLIR dealers. For more information, visit FLIR’s website.
