Remember the Predator movies, in which the aliens hunt down and kill the defenseless humans by using a wide variety of sensors, the most important of them being a thermal imaging sensor?
Well, it seems that now, just about anyone can turn into a heat seeking predator by using the AimShot HeatSeeker Rescue Tool / Hunting Game Heat Finder presented by OpticsPlanet.com, a device that will identify any heat-source on a 275 meters radius.

This very user-friendly contraption has been fitted with a highly accurate heat sensor, which features 64 different intensity settings, thus reducing the possibility of getting a false reading, as well as 2 laser-pointers, which are vital for pinpointing the exact location of the heat source. As you can imagine, the range of uses is quite vast, ranging from finding lost children, pets or livestock to detecting hot spots in various pieces of equipment, practically any domain that requires the detection of heat or the measurement of differences in heat levels.

Here are some of the most interesting features and specifications of this very interesting device:

- Dimensions: 18 cm x 4.5 cm (diameter);
- Weight: 227 grams;
