would this also work well for bigfoot investigations?

Well I'm not an expert on big foot. What I do know is that the battery does not last long so you may consider buying extras...the camera makes chimes and dings that I'm not certain would be great for stealth shooting...it is a mainly indoor use camera and I believe you would be wise to consider that before exposure to the elements. They are not suited for normal video...that is they lack the ir filter so that they see ir light so day time use may damage the video censor. Hope this helps.

It should be suitable for anything outdoors. Given that it has no light source I would recommend 2 IR lights as well to be able to see a bit farther. The battery lasts fairly long, I had it running for 2 hours straight and didn't have to change it.

Yes, it can see in low/no light settings. I would get a larger external IR light to go with it to see further like I did.

Yes, the night vision is really good. The only thing is you need to get an IR light that projects at least 30 feet or so, maybe even get an IR flashlight that throws IR light even farther for outdoor activity.

The camera is great in short distance, up to 20-30 ft. The camera does not have any IR light built in, so you will need at least two or more good IR lights. the quality of camera is good and I use it in every night investigation I do. Best within 20ft but nothng over 30ft

Use a tripod and have multiple batteries it should work fine. There will be a slight color distortion is shot during the day, but at night as with all full spectrum cameras you really need good lights to use with it.

Yes it would work. Depending on how long you are planning on staying out I'd bring plenty of spare batteries and a way to charge your IR light. This camera has excellent night vision and with the right IR light you'll be able to see 20-30 in some cases.

Yes this will do well and can do a whole lot more. The automatic ranging feature is useful and works well.

Definitely that is what we use it for bugs, rocks, leaves etc.... The lower powers we actually use much more for that kind of stuff. You could look at large stuff on slides, but not tiny things.

It can be used for other things. I saw a similar one on TV last night being used to spot mountain goats in Alaska.

Hi Karen, I would tell you that it should work just fine for that type of project as well as many others! Jim Fillmore

I think that this would work very well. I have used this to measure temps on computer processors and heat buildup on electrical components. should do what you want.

My biggest concern for that application would be the shape and width of the quill. The end is rounded and might slip and give you an inaccurate reading. If you can rig it up with a bigger foot, it will definitely work.

It is possible. I used it to scan manuals and large books. It works out ok, requires a little editing afterwards (rotation).

I have not used it in a portable application before but it certainly could be used in that environment. I had planned to find a case for the unit to protect it during transit but have not been able to find a suitable one. I planned to use it in conjunction with a small IBM ThinkPad Laptop. Just one word on caution about scanning in a bright environment; the unit uses reflected light from the scanner head and works best in subdued lightning.

Sure. The probe isn't that long maybe 4 inches, but positioned correctly as far as you can go, it should be fine

The short answer is yes. I use this to measure elevation gain on short hikes. It is not great for hiking as the altitude always starts on "0" (not the actual starting altitude) and when you turn it off it looses all data. It does stay charged long enough for shorter hikes but will be of no value for a backpacking trip. It will return to zero if you go up, and then back down.

Yes, there are some considerations for this depending on your needs. Great information can be found regarding this topic here: http://www.scannermaster.com/Uniden_Bearcat_BC346XT_Police_Scanner_p/10-501357.htm

I would think so. We connect a special camera for fire vehicles with this, worked well.

I think it would work fine, it just means that who ever found your item would have to look in it (if they hadn't already).

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

yes! It willl also detect fans, stereo speakers,refrigerators, other normal household items. But it's biggest advantage is to identify much smaller and less powerful electo-madnetic anomalies such as insects from another sector the light sprectrum - for instance, creatures from the infra-red and ultra-violet sectors and the less powerful energy left behind from ghosts.\Good luck with your meter and have a lot of fun identifying objects other than by the naked eye.

I'm sorry I sent it back. Was for a Xmas present,but,it wasn't what I had in mind...but, i do think it would be great for that purpose. Hope this sort a helps!
