I bought one. For close range use, I can't complain at that price.

How is it? That is the worst refresh rate I have ever seen in a thermal. I would be curious as to how useable it is.
The Lepton is a Flir core that was developed for cell phones. Super low refresh rate, made for taking pictures and not video, really wide FOV and super super cheap. Move fast and you'll have a pretty good smear. Probably shutterless too so you have to NUC it with a cover or lens cap.
The Flir thermal camera clip-on for phones they had awhile back uses the same core. Probably a good pocket thermal for looking across your yard and such.

Looks like clearance to me. They have it marked $1099 normal but they probably can't sell them so they're probably liquidating their inventory.
I think the tube is the battery compartment with the FPA/OLA up front.
The refresh rate is slow as mud. Inside of 50 yards, resolution is okay not great. I’ve got it on my yard gun.
I wouldn’t pay $500 for it, and if it wasn’t such a deal I wouldn’t recommend it. But for the price…
The tube is 30mm. It’s honestly probably better as a monocular for detection, but at short range it bumps along as a scope. Inside the house it’s actually pretty good. For home defense it wouldn’t be bad once I’ve decided I trust it.

I have one of these mounted on an ar with a 45 degree offset mount. Out to 30 to 40 yards it's actually pretty good. For a close in defensive firearm at night its suitable.

I got mine the night before we left for deer camp and for $200 I am happy as can be. Yes the refresh delay sucks, but for $200... Otherwise it helped locate a coyote about 30 yards away. I could clearly see a cow/ calf pair a little over 100 yards away. Used it as a handy little monocular for about a week and had a blast with it.
I have it mounted on a spare 30mm mount I had laying around and on a spare 10/22. Havent had a chance to site it in, but cant wait.
