What is the range? I'm trying to figure out if I can use it to locate a roosted turkey in the darkness.

It claims a 1000' viewable distance.

I think you will be limited by field of view. It's a fairly wide field of view so you can only get so many pixles on something that is really far away. I noticed they have a new version with a narrower 20 degree field of view. So it puts more sensor pixels on a target a long distance away.

I could easily make out houses at the end of the street 200 yards away. I may go wandering in the woods tonight to see what I can find.

I did to an indoor test with one of those small 8oz cans of coke. Put it by my front door.

Pretty easy to see from about 10 feet.



The other end of my house is 18 yards. I know this because I've lasered it to bore sight using the door knob on the front door from the other end of the house. You can still make out the little 8oz coke can pretty good. The two a-hole dogs at around 7 yards trying to block my view stand out pretty good too.
