PANTERA Mini sitting right at home on top of the FX Impact MK4.

Compact, lightweight and a seriously solid little combo. The Impact is already an incredibly capable platform, and pairing it with a small thermal like the PANTERA Mini keeps the whole setup clean without adding unnecessary bulk.

Keen to put some proper time behind this setup and see how it performs in the field.

Kullbota’s got light — not just any light, a HELFYR.

Massive thanks to the lads who helped me fit it over the weekend — big day on the tools getting a load of kit installed.

You might think, with thermals everywhere, who needs a spotlight? You’d be wrong. Every tool has its place. You never know where you’ll end up — maybe on a rocky summer night when the whole paddock is glowing hotter than a fresh cow pat, and a sitting fox is impossible to spot.

That’s where the Fyrlyt Better vision by innovation Helfyr steps up and says “hold my beer.” With 24V of beautiful warm light it turns night into day for me and brings back the nostalgia of foxing with that fixed 8x glass — proper old-school stuff.

Farmer call in the morning she was up and with the rest of the mob, he doesn't live on the farm so this was a great outcome.

A big shoutout to for supporting the Kullbota build!

With plenty of filming and shooting trips ahead, reliable communication is a must. GME has made sure we won’t lose comms when we’re out in the field, with the XRS handheld radios already proving their worth during our first Kullbota filming night.

Built tough, easy to use and another important part of getting Kullbota ready for the night shift.
