AGM TaipanV2 15-384

The TaipanV2 15‑384 introduces AGM’s higher‑resolution 384×288, 12‑µm sensor and pairs it with a 15 mm F/1.0 lens. This configuration retains a generous field of view but offers a sharper, more detailed image thanks to the OLED display. Detection is rated up to ~750 m, and the optic provides multiple digital magnification steps. The removable 18650 battery and tilt sensor deliver up to 6.5 hours of run time.

Built‑in video/audio recording, 16 GB storage, Wi‑Fi connectivity and multiple colour palettes mirror the rest of the V2 family. The result is a lightweight, waterproof scanner that appeals to hunters and landowners who want a clearer picture without moving to a heavier lens.

  • Is This the Right Thermal for You?:

    Choose the 15‑384 if you value image quality more than extreme range. It’s ideal for scanning wooded areas, feeders or pastures where most targets are inside ~750 m but identification detail matters.

    The improved sensor and OLED display render fine textures and subtle temperature differences that the 256‑resolution units can miss. If you frequently scan beyond ~1 km or need more magnification, the 19‑ or 25‑mm models may serve you better.

  • Best For:

    • Hunters and landowners who want a crisp image with a wide field of view
    • Nighttime wildlife observation and herd management within ~750 m
    • Users upgrading from 256‑resolution scanners seeking better detail
    • Those who appreciate a removable battery and video recording

  • Not Ideal For:

    • Long‑range spotting past 750 m (consider the 25‑384 or 19‑320/19‑384)
    • Weapon‑mounted use (this is a handheld monocular)
    • Users on a tight budget who may be satisfied with the 256‑resolution models

  • How This Model Compares:

    Compared to the 15‑256, the 15‑384 doubles the pixel count and adds an OLED display for a sharper image. Detection is rated to ~750 m and battery life drops slightly. The 19‑384’s 19 mm lens extends reach to ~950 m but narrows the field of view, while the 25‑384’s 25 mm lens pushes detection to ~1.2 km with higher magnification, better suited for open country.

    The 15‑256 provides similar magnification and field of view but uses a lower‑resolution 256×192 sensor. The 19‑384 trades some field of view for more reach, while the 25‑384 offers the longest detection range (≈1.2 km) and a 2.5× base magnification.

  • What You Actually Get in Real-World Use:

    Hunters note that it renders more texture in fur and better defines ears, snouts and tails at moderate range. The OLED screen offers richer blacks than the LCOS displays on the 256‑series. The removable battery and tilt sensor help it run for several hours, and the control layout is identical to other Taipan V2 units. Its modest detection range compared to larger‑lens models is the main limitation, but for scanning feeders or woods, the wide view is a benefit.

  • FAQS

    • What is the resolution and sensitivity of the 15-384?
      It uses a 384×288, 12-µm VOx sensor with sub-20 mK sensitivity.
    • How far can it detect and identify targets?
      Detection range is about 750 m for a 6-ft object. Identification distances are shorter and depend on target size and conditions.
    • Does it still use the same battery system?
      Yes. The 15-384 uses one replaceable 18650 battery (two included) with a tilt sensor for up to 6.5 hours of operation.
    • Is the display different from the 256 models?
      Yes. The 384-series Taipans employ a 1024×768 OLED display, which offers richer contrast and improved viewing comfort.
    • Can I stream and record video?
      Yes. It has on-board video/audio recording with 16 GB of memory and a Wi-Fi hotspot to connect to the AGM Connect app.

  • Detailed Product Description:

    The TaipanV2 15‑384 takes the familiar ergonomics of the V2 platform and adds a higher‑resolution core. Its 384×288, sub‑20 mK sensor is paired with a 1024×768 OLED display that reproduces finer gradations in temperature and delivers superior contrast in dark scenes. With a 15 mm objective lens, the 15‑384 preserves a wide 17.5°×13.1° field of view, making it ideal for scanning woodlots, feeders or tight pastures. 

    Controls and features mirror the rest of the V2 range: a removable 18650 battery with an automatic screen‑off tilt sensor, on‑board recording and Wi‑Fi connectivity, hot‑spot tracking, picture‑in‑picture mode and multiple colour palettes. The 6.5‑hour battery life is slightly shorter than the 256‑series but still ample for most outings. Hunters who prioritise image quality over extreme range will appreciate the crisp OLED visuals and improved thermal sensitivity. As with all Taipans, the unit is IP67‑rated and backed by a 5‑year transferable warranty, and it ships with two batteries, charger, cable and protective accessories.
