The device is compact and lightweight with impressive image quality at 1008x1344 pixels, multiple thermal modes, picture-in-picture, and X3 enhanced detail mode. It works well for wildlife and birdwatching but is less suited for domestic tasks like leak detection. The Android app is a significant weak point — it crashes frequently, has a clunky interface, and suffers from video framerate drops. Linux support is non-existent despite some USB detection. Priced at £320, with a 10% discount code available. iOS support is expected but untested. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
