1. Description
The Fusion Thermal Recon 3 is a multi use thermal optic that is supplied with two different
kinds of eyepieces, one which allows the unit to be used as a hand-held monocular, and a
second which allows the unit to be used as an attachment in front of a traditional day scope, a
role commonly refered to as a Clip-On. Thermal imagers are different from traditional night
vison devices as they may be used day or night and will work effectively so long as there is a
temperature differential between a viewed subject and its surronding enviornment. It does not
need any external light source to function, is not influenced by strong light exposure, works
well in adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, and smoke and is of great help in
locating people and animals hidden by reasonable amounts of obstacles such foliage. The
Recon 3 has a wide range application including day/night predator, nuisance animal hunting,
wildlife detection and observation, wounded game tracking, personal and property secutiry,
water navigation, search and rescue operations, and terrain orientation.
