That avoids paying for another thermal sensor and gives you more freedom to change optics later. It is overkill for someone who mainly scans on foot, and it is not the cleanest choice for a buyer who wants every part of the vehicle system matched out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the job. If the goal is to search large areas from a truck, UTV or fixed position and your current optic passes the compatibility checklist, the T-CROW Elite is a strong platform. If the goal is the simplest complete setup, shop a dedicated vehicle-mounted unit instead. Still unsure?
