Anyone use these with good results above 7,000ft elevation? Do they work as well in the mountains as they do around sea level?

As long as you can make fire at that kind of elevation then the hand warmer will work. Also this thing requires low oxygen flow so it should work at that kind of elevation but I never use this at that kind of elevation. So in theory it should work.

yes they work at higher elevations as well--i have two- 1 for each hand i wont go anywhere that's cold without them -- my very first one that i still have came back with my uncle from Korea in mid fifties--GI ISSUE ---A NOTE--if you need to shut the thing off instead of letting it run out of fuel just simply take the grill top off and CAUTIOUSLY remove the burner with a glove or something so you don't burn your fingers lay it somewhere to burn out and then replace back together hope this was helpful and enjoy

I have not had the opportunity to check them out in inclement weather,so I am not sure. give that they do not explicitly state anything about that,I would be sceptical of using them out side when it's raining. But I can say that they are optically very good. I would suggest that you use a tripod or other steadying device if you intend to view objects for an extended length of time.

We use the levelers on benches at a gun range, they work great for our members shooting at 300yd. They are used on uneven concrete outside in south Texas weather. It works for us.

My son and his daughter use them in the heat of the summer in Nevada in mountains where they gleen firewood. All day at 100+ degree temp is no problem to them while using their chain saws to cut wood. I would say from that that anyone hiking at what ever altitude would be quite refreshed with this item.

Hey Buddy, Both of mine worked from over 50 feet away. Depending on the terrain, i usually get anywhere from 25-40 feet all the time. A great buy for the money. I am very pleased. Be safe.

I live in California coastal zone at altitudes up to 2400 feet but I have used the wave 3 at altitudes of 5000 feet with no problems 30 below snowing (near Lake Tahoe ) no problems at all. Have not tried at higher altitudes. Camco Manufacturing has been very responsive to questions. I own a wave 8 (1 year) and a wave 3 (20 years plus)David

Not able to really answer as I have not tried any of these out side.....I am a little skeptical of using them outside since I have a lot of trees and the constant movement and on/off I think would be too much for the unit in my yard.....might be a different story where you did not have anything but an occasional movement at night.....

You must have a clear line of sight for the units to work well. Your distance is much shorter then the units are capable of reaching, so they might work if the trees are not dense, but if the trees are thick and dense if most like will not be successful. I am using a pair at 1,500 ft. with a clear line of sight UNDER some trees and they work amazingly well.

According to the installation manual - There are DIP switches inside the device to adjust performance for altitude. It has different settings for 0-2000ft, 2000-4000ft and 4000-6000ft. Over 6000ft they advise you contact their technical department at 1-877-737-2840.

I haven't flown with it personally... But we live at high altitudes and during the Pikes Peak Marathon, I have it at start at just over 6,000 feet and go up beyond 14,000 feet without problems and difficulty of the product being used. Really does work, BTW.

Realistically anything past a quarter of one mile will be luck. Using them in a desert/lake environment (some small tress and hills) that is the best they could do. Even in a clear line of sight we never achieved much more than the 1/4 miles without distortion.

At short range, I didnt like them, even for a football game. I also took them on a camping trip Let hworth State Park (Grand Canyon of the East) and for long range viewing they were great. I hope this helps.

I use them in very thick brush and multiple elevations with friends hunting in other areas. I guess it would depend on the distance, but skiing should be line of sight (better than being in brush) so I would assume they would be good.

In Hawai`i on the island of O`ahu there are probably at least 100 hikers that use these and NOT for ice or snow. They work great on slopes w/mud or dry dirt. They also grip on wet stream rocks. Here on O`ahu we've been using them for a few years. Note the company does not say they work on anything but ice or snow, but WE KNOW BETTER.

These would be great for up close. Throw a very wide beam. However the range is probably 100-150 feet. If you are a crawler they would work be great nothing in that range would be out of sight. If you want some distance they make Spotlight versions of these. I have some of the round ones and they shine a good ways down the road. I put them on my 4 wheeler.

They are Pretty good for the money. The stock mushroom gets around 1000 to 1200 feet depends on line of site. These get around 1500 to 2500 feet. Depends on what your setup is.

I haven't had any problems here in our northern Utah mountains. Any problems maybe due to the valve stem in cold weather. I actually love this device; it's quick, easy, and always accurate.
