I read somewhere that for this programme they used the Bosch Aegis Ulfed as illumunation in the NV shots. Anybody else hear that ?

Dunno but that thermal might be a bit heavy to stick in my pocket to use as a spotter.

My opinion. There is no Bosch that would reach out to illuminate so far in the distance as seen in the video.
Quite a blue hue to the video. I think this is dedicated NV equipment with a filter to give the blue Hue. I know zilch about these things, so just an opinion.

The thermal video is the dogs danglies.

Some of the footage is from illuminators, you just get the area the Lions are and not further behind them. The Starlight is what I must have seen where you can see in the distance for a far ways off.


This is a description of the programme in the link above.

It is only once the sun has gone down beyond the horizon that the deadly lion truly comes to life, using scent and sound to stalk and kill its prey. But this night-time hunting routine has always been virtually impossible to capture on film - until now.
With the aid of new light-enhancing, heat-seeking technology, see how the starlight camera transforms pitch-black wilderness into an array of vibrant colours. Observe lions and their prey in crystal-clear detail as our team, at long last, gets the chance to properly study these untamed predators during their most active period. This film demonstrates not only how groundbreaking equipment can revolutionise wildlife programme making, but also the terrifying precision of the hunting lion after dark.
Pierce through the darkness and encounter a hidden world previously unseen by human eyes in the premiere of Night of the Lion, Monday 13 September at 9pm.

Thanks for that Mickey, it's a very good insight into where we could hope to go in the future if we keep at low light imaging and stay on the ball. I was most impressed about the thermal cams having some kind of colour ability - or filter to add different hue's within the same colour band. I'd hate to try and find the money that kit must have cost.

Stop there please.

I know I'd want one with a crosshair generator overlay. and just know it's out of my reach.
