Phil asked: One of the things that I have been curious about with a fixed
mount
FLIR is the effect of any kind of a sea on the picture.
I can tell you we had a 4' swell and it was very manageable. I was
concerned about seasickness being induced by looking at the screen, but
didn't experience it. In a serious sea I do think it would become a
problem. Adding image stabilization to it would increase the cost
dramatically, when it's marginally affordable considering the benefit
already. IMHO, Scott
Funny, as John noticed thousands of these have been sold and to the best of
my knowledge I'm one of the few people to suggest I bought something that
didn't live up to the hype. It's hard to admit you paid for something and
didn't get what you hoped for, kind of like putting salt in an open wound.
Anyway, anyone that wants to see this stuff is welcome to come on my boat
and see it! I'll try to get a flip video of it and put it on youtube.
Thanks, scott
