The AGM Taipan V2 10-256 is a compact thermal monocular from AGM Global Vision built around a 256×192, 12-micron sensor behind a 10mm F1.0 lens (AGM part no. TAIP10-256-2). The 10mm lens gives the widest field of view in the Taipan V2 line, which suits scanning fields, brush and property lines for heat signatures. V2 upgrades include a removable rechargeable 18650 battery and a 90-degree tilt sensor that switches the display off when the monocular is lowered. It is aimed at hunters, landowners and anyone who needs to find warm targets in the dark or through weather.

Key Specifications

• The thermal sensor is 256×192 at a 12-micron pixel pitch, which resolves heat signatures in complete darkness.
• Sensitivity is sub-35mK NETD, which helps separate small temperature differences in cluttered terrain.
• The lens is 10mm with an F1.0 objective, the widest field of view of the Taipan V2 models.
• Magnification starts at 1.0x base with a 1.5x to 12x digital range, so you can scan wide and then zoom in.
• Field of view is 17.5 x 13.1 degrees (92 x 69 feet at 100 yards), a broad picture for scanning.
• The display is a 1280×960 LCOS, which gives a sharp view of the thermal image.
• Detection range is 500 m/yd, which sets realistic expectations for spotting a heat source.
• The battery is a removable 18650 Li-ion, two included, with run time of up to 7 hours.
• The monocular carries an IP67 waterproof rating, so rain and wet brush are not a concern.
• Weight is 0.60 lb, light enough to carry on a belt or in a jacket pocket.
