Das Jagdmagazin mit Weitblick

How well does the ThermTec Ventus 650L perform on a high-country chamois hunt? Schuss & Stille put the multispectral thermal binocular through a real-world field test in the Austrian Alps—broad daylight, long distances, steep rock faces, and dense alpine scrub. Thermal imaging, 4K day/night vision, and an integrated laser rangefinder all faced the ultimate mountain-hunting test.

In recent years, hunting optics have changed more quietly—and more profoundly—than at any other time. Where the hunt once ended in the fading twilight, it now begins with the press of a button. But what do these terms actually mean? Digital daylight mode, low-light enhancement, infrared night vision, thermal imaging—each operates differently, each reveals the world in its own way.
