Yes it's good for ratting which is what I mostly use it for buddy . I think for the money it's good obviously the more expensive versions give you a much clearer picture but your spending at least 1000 compared with 400 .

Also you can connect app on phone I used it ratting a couple of nights ago when it was freezing cold while sitting in car looking on phone I had the spotter mounted on tripod outside the car looking at my target area worked a treat
