Which Thermal Setup Is Right for You?
Trying to decide between a helmet-mounted scanner, a handheld scanner, or a weapon-mounted scope? Here's a quick guide to help you pick the configuration that fits your workflow.
🪖 Helmet-Mounted Scanner (This Product)
-
Best for: Hands-free scanning while moving through terrain, calling predators, or covering large areas — no need to raise and lower your arms constantly.
-
Workflow: Attach your Iray V2 Finder to this mount via your Wilcox-style bracket. Tilt the unit down to your eye to scan, tilt up to move freely. Your hands stay available at all times.
-
Scanning vs. Engaging: This is a scanning and locating tool. Once you've spotted a heat signature, you'll transition to your firearm for the shot — or pair it with a weapon-mounted thermal scope for a complete system.
-
Setup complexity: Moderate — requires a compatible Wilcox-style mount and helmet (sold separately). The mount itself installs easily onto standard NVG-style brackets.
-
Ideal for: Active hunters and callers who want extended scanning time without arm fatigue.
🤲 Handheld Scanner
-
Best for: Quick, flexible glassing. Raise to eye level to scan; lower to move. No mounting hardware needed.
-
Scanning vs. Engaging: Like helmet mounts, handhelds are primarily for locating — not for a shooting solution.
-
Setup complexity: Low — ready to use out of the box.
-
Ideal for: Casual or occasional use, or as a backup to a primary helmet or scope setup.
🔭 Weapon-Mounted Thermal Scope
-
Best for: Engaging a located target — designed to mount on your firearm and provide a precise aiming solution.
-
Workflow: Typically used after a scanner (helmet or handheld) has already located heat signatures. Shoulder the rifle, acquire the target, engage.
-
Scanning vs. Engaging: Scopes are optimized for engaging. Their higher magnification and narrower FOV make wide-area scanning less efficient than a dedicated scanner.
-
Setup complexity: Moderate — requires mounting and zeroing on your firearm.
-
Ideal for: Anyone who needs a complete system from detection through engagement.
Bottom Line
This mount converts your Iray V2 Finder into a hands-free helmet scanner — the ideal first half of a complete thermal system. Pair it with a weapon-mounted scope for full detection-to-engagement capability.
