See Clearly
Wherever you are cruising, whether offshore or in the harbor, losing crew overboard is always a serious situation, especially when it happens at night. FLIR has recently added the new First Mate MS ($1,999) to its series of thermal-imaging, handheld devices. Weighing only 12 ounces, the First Mate MS is easy to use with one hand, and has an improved start-up time. The First Mate has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, so it’ll be ready when you need it, comes with optional 240 x 180 or 320 x 240 resolution levels and has a 2X digital zoom.
