Bering Optics Super Yoter C vs Bering Optics Super Yoter R 50
The Super Yoter C runs a 640×480 core at 12 µm behind a 50 mm lens; the Super Yoter R 50 runs 640×480 at 12 µm behind 50 mm. On the Johnson yardstick they detect a person at 1,042 m and 1,042 m and recognize one at 260 m and 260 m; the boxes say 2,290 m and 2,000 m. The Super Yoter C is lighter by 1.6 oz. Approximate prices are ~$3,895 and ~$3,395.

Estimated from pixel pitch and lens focal length using the Johnson criteria (2, 8 and 13 pixels across a 0.5 m human critical dimension), clear air, 50 % probability. A model of the optics, not a measurement — real range depends on temperature contrast, humidity and the animal.
