Prices on the new DNT TNC335R and TNC635R speculations?

[MushroomPsyche]

Anyone have speculations in the prices of the upcoming DNT TNC335R and TNC635R? Looking at the currently available TNC225R and considering the pricing differences from other manufacturers that also have 256, 384, and 640 units, I think the TNC335R might retail for around $1,600 and the TNC635R around $2,000. Does that make sense to you? I believe my pricing estimates are conservative since with other companies' units, the 384 is usually twice the price of the 256 and the 640 is usually more than $1,000 more on top of that. But they did say the units will be priced very competitively.

Some of the other thermal manfactures are offering 3 year warranty..So that is a consideration also

I think if anything, the 384 may be $1800-$2000 white the 640 being closer to the $2300-$2500

That's what I'm thinking as well for higher end estimates.

Lower price than what other companies are offering their products at, but I too believe it is a good range.

Amyone hear of a release date yet ?

No information yet but the talks in the British forums say that more will be revealed at the British shooting show convention which I believe is in mid February. So probably don't expect anything before then. Then, they'll probably get stock first over there before the USA.

Going by the prices of the Hydra, The ThermNight 640 will definitely be well above $2,000. Maybe $2,600 for the 640 and $1,600 for the 384.

HI all,
CameraLand in NY has some pre-order pricing up on their site. The link below is for the 335R. $2000. The 635R is $3000.
I'm hoping that when DNT actually starts selling these units, they discount the MSRP prices like all their other units AND offer the usual %10 discount. Fingers crossed! I'm also waiting to see what an upgraded 225R looks like.

Wow... our guesses were actually very close considering that, as was just stated above, the street prices will likely be 10% less than MSRP.

The 335 and 635 Thermnight scopes are now on the DNT Optics website. They can be ordered for $2000 and $2775 respectively, AND you can get 10% off those prices. 3-4 week lead time for the 335; 2-3 weeks for the 635.

I will be adding my first look at the 335R soon on here.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Thermal resolution isn’t the issue with the 225…. it’s the 3x/5x base magnification and small field of view that cause issues with actual use in the field.

335R will be 2.5x on the thermal and thr 635R will be 1.5x on thermal. The 5x will still be the same on the digital.

Why not simply go 1.5x across the board?

That is don't know I'm sure there is some engineering behind it all. I am a zoom man so the 5x digital doesn't bother me as I track and find it with the thermal then swap.

 

[Coinwa]

That works… in theory. I found it much tougher in reality with the 3x base on the thermal.

I suppose that’s getting a little picky on a $1k unit, but I’d gladly give up a little on the top end, for a base 2x on the thermal.

I great new feature on the 335R is thermal lock so you have the option to lock the thermal in main screen and PIP you can choose 2.5x or 1x while in PIP for wider FOV while PIP is active. It says 3x but it's really 2.5x this was pre production

Why not simply go 1.5x across the board?

Simple answer to this question. The base magnification for the thermal band is governed by the sensor size (number of pixels). Lowering the base magnification increases the field of view, which results in a less detailed/pixelated image for a given sensor size. If DNT gave the 225r model a 1.5x base mag the resulting image on the thermal band would be so pixelated that the user would have a hard time recognizing any shapes through its feed.
