Xinfrared T2 Pro or HX09
Hello,
I am after my first thermal “scope”, going for the budget cell phone version. I know there has been a review on T2 Pro here, but I am also considering HX09, which I can have for a marginally better price (even though it is usually more expensive). HX09 has a better frame rate and focusing ring, which is probably irelevant for wildlife watching, but quite importantly has 19,6° angle of view instead of 13° (so on FX equivalent 105 mm instead of 150 mm). Did anyone try the two models and could advise, which would be better for my use? Most of time I would use it in central Europe for smaller mammals or possibly owls, but tropical travel is a main reason I am buying this now (going to Thailand soon). 150 mm seems way too narrow for scanning (and so does 100 mm), but I have no experience with thermals.
I have not considered other brands, probably makes no sense, but I am open to suggestions.
Thank you.

We use Seek Thermal Compact Pro, it works well for us, finding both small rodents and large objects at a distance. The IPhone/IPad version seems to be faster.
