AGM TaipanV2 25-384

The top of the TaipanV2 line, the 25‑384, combines a 25 mm F/1.0 lens with a 384×288 sensor to achieve detection rated up to ~1.2 km. The base magnification increases to 2.5× with several digital steps, making it easier to identify distant hogs, coyotes or deer. Its field of view narrows but remains usable for scanning open fields. Like the other 384‑series models, it features an OLED display, a removable 18650 battery with a tilt sensor and up to 6.5 hours run time.

Recording, Wi‑Fi and stadiametric ranging are included. This model suits hunters and landowners who need maximum range from a handheld thermal and are willing to accept a slightly larger form factor.

  • Is This the Right Thermal for You?:

    Pick the 25‑384 if your hunts or property checks frequently require spotting animals out to or beyond ~1,000 m but you still prefer a handheld device over a riflescope. Its 2.5× base magnification and long detection range make it easier to identify targets at distance.

    Be aware that the narrower field of view makes it less suitable for scanning dense woods, and the unit is slightly heavier than other Taipan models. If you seldom look past ~700 m or want a wider view, the 15‑ or 19‑mm versions may serve you better.

  • Best For:

    • Hunters needing to detect and identify animals at 800–1,200 m
    • Landowners patrolling large properties or open fields
    • Users who want the clarity of a 384‑resolution sensor with higher magnification
    • Those who appreciate a handheld solution but need more reach than the smaller lenses provide

  • Not Ideal For:

    • Dense woods or close‑range scanning where a wider FOV is preferable
    • Users concerned about weight and size (this is the largest Taipan monocular)
    • Shooters requiring ballistic calculation or a laser rangefinder

  • How This Model Compares:

    The 25‑384 offers the longest reach in the Taipan family with a 2.5× base magnification and detection rated up to ~1.2 km. Compared to the 19‑384, it sacrifices field of view for range. The 15‑384 retains a wide view but reaches only ~750 m. The 19‑320 has a similar lens size but uses a lower‑resolution sensor, resulting in less image detail. For weapon‑mounted applications or integrated ballistic calculation, consider moving to the Rattler V2 or V3 series.

    The 19‑384 balances range and FOV with a 2× base magnification and ~950 m detection. The 19‑320 offers similar reach but a lower 320×256 sensor and LCOS display. The 15‑384 provides the widest view but the shortest detection distance (750 m).

  • What You Actually Get in Real-World Use:

    Hunters who require a handheld scanner for long shots praise the 25‑384 for its ability to spot heat signatures well over half a mile away. The 2.5× base magnification helps with identification before taking the shot. The narrow field of view demands a slower panning technique, and the heavier body may cause more hand fatigue over long sessions.

    Battery life is around 6.5 hours, so carrying a spare 18650 is still advisable. Overall, it’s a strong choice for open‑country hunting where range is paramount.

  • FAQS

    • How far can the 25‑384 detect a deer‑sized target?
      Approximately 1.2 km (1,200 m) according to AGM's specifications for a 6‑ft object.
    • What is the base magnification and how high can it zoom?
      It has a 2.5× optical magnification with digital increments of 5×, 10× and 20×.
    • Does the higher magnification make it harder to hold steady?
      Slightly. The 2.5× base magnification is more sensitive to movement than the 1.5× or 2× models, so some users brace against a vehicle or tripod for long observations.
    • Is the battery life different from the other 384 models?
      No. All 384‑series Taipans deliver around 6.5 hours of runtime per 18650 battery.
    • Can I record my hunts and share them?
      Yes. The 25‑384 includes on‑board video and audio recording and a Wi‑Fi hotspot to download clips or stream to a smartphone.

  • Detailed Product Description:

    As the long‑range flagship of the Taipan V2 family, the 25‑384 leverages a 25 mm F/1.0 objective to push detection distance out to roughly 1.2 km. The 2.5× base magnification aids in identifying game across big fields or open prairie, and digital zoom options of 5×, 10× and 20× allow you to inspect details once you’ve found your target. The trade‑off is a narrower 10.5°×7.9° field of view, so panning should be slow and deliberate.

    Internally, the unit uses the same 384×288, sub‑20 mK sensor and 1024×768 OLED display found in the 15‑ and 19‑mm versions, ensuring rich contrast and crisp images. It retains the removable 18650 battery with tilt sensor for 6.5‑hour runtime, stadiametric rangefinder, video/audio recording, 16 GB storage, Wi‑Fi connectivity and picture‑in‑picture mode. An IP67 rating and robust housing make it suitable for harsh conditions. The package includes two batteries, charger, USB‑C cable, lens cloth, wrist strap and protective bag, and is covered by AGM’s 5‑year warranty.
