Overall, with the Eye III E3 Plus you get an accessory package that is comparable to that of its predecessor, the Infiray Eye III E3 Max, is identical.

What's in the Box Infiray Eye III Series E3 Max

The operating features of the Infiray Eye III E3 Plus in detail

Next, let's get down to business Infiray Eye III E3 Plus review. The thermal imaging camera takes one the first time you get it out valuable impression and stands out particularly positively due to its ergonomic tube shape. There is nothing to complain about here from our side. Infiray Like other manufacturers, it rightly relies on this for its new devices Tubular shape and is increasingly moving away from the previously common teardrop shape of its cases. A easier handling and quick button operation are the result.

“Taste” is a good keyword in this context, because about one Keyboard In the actual sense, the E3 Plus no longer has it. Instead sets Infiray on an innovative Rotary wheel technology for menu control, which completely excludes accidental pressing in the dark. For us, this new feature on the operating concept is definitely one of the highlights of the camera. But the praise doesn't stop there. In our Infiray We noticed a few positive things in the Eye III E3 Plus test - we have put together the most important points for you below:

 

  • Magnetic charging cable & fast charge battery: The Eye III E3 Plus has an integrated battery that you have to charge using the included charging cable. The highlight here: The camera has a fast charge battery and quick charging cable that is almost fully charged in an hour. Top!

    The battery life itself is between 6 and 8 hours, depending on how intensively you use the device during that time. Another small note about the cable from our side: Although the magnet of the charging connection works very well and the connection between the cable and the device is excellent, it is possible that the cable separates during data transfer due to shaking or operating the device. But this charging function also has it Infiray thought through: behind the magnetic charging connection of the Infiray Eye III E3 Plus has a USB-C socket to which you can easily connect a standard USB-C cable.

  • Different scene modes: Another feature we liked is the different scene modes, which allow you to adapt the camera performance to your surroundings: forest, rocks and city. You also have a focus function that allows you to select a specific section of the image and enlarge it.
  • Turn-push wheel: As already mentioned, the E3 Plus has no external menu buttons. Instead, you have a wheel on the top that you can use to navigate through the menu by turning it and press the wheel to activate the desired function. If you hold down the wheel for a long time, you will go to the main menu, while a short press will take you to the top menu, where you can select different color palettes, for example.
  • Photo and video function: The photo and video function can still be operated as usual using the single button on the device: a short press takes a video, a long press takes a photo.
  • Thread: On the underside you will also find a thread to which the carrying strap can be attached, but which you can also use to attach to a stalking stick. For better visualization of your recordings, we also recommend this Lenovo M8 Tablet with Huntredlight© Film and Joby Grip. The red light film on the tablet screen ensures an even sharper and more sensitive image.

A weakness that didn't have to be there

With all the praise, this has it Infiray Eye III E3 Plus unfortunately Manko, which could perhaps turn out to be disastrous when used in the area. The problem is this Camera lens cap. Infiray has equipped the Eye III E3 Plus with an innovative on and off function that is activated when you open and close the lid again.

What in itself is an interesting and well-made solution becomes a problem because the... Lens cap cannot be rotated. If you open the camera, the open lid protrudes vertically downwards. Because that focus wheel If the camera is located at the front of the lens, you now run the risk of reaching forward to the wheel in the heat of the moment and accidentally breaking off the open lid or not being able to turn the focus correctly.

There is one consolation here, however: the Eye III E3 Plus has one Emergency stop switch. You press this when you do that Press and hold the rotary dial for about 20 seconds or use the button combination: “rotary control + camera button”. However, as a permanent solution to a broken lens cap, this approach isn't exactly great. Here would have Infiray need to think better.

Our conclusion on Infiray Eye III E3 Plus review

In itself it is the case Infiray Eye III E3 Plus is a thermal imaging camera that new Infiray Eye series lives up to it. The tubular housing is excellently crafted Operation works perfectly and also the Image quality and reproduction make a very good impression. However, as we noted, the camera has one glaring flaw - and that flaw is the non-rotating lens cap. As with many other cameras that we have tested so far, it is precisely such a non-rotating lid that could become the device's (only) weak point. Time and practice will tell whether the manufacturer made the right decision with this design. Apart from that, you can't go wrong with this camera and it will be a loyal companion on your hunting trips.
