Thermal monocular ThermTec Wild 650L

The leading manufacturer of professional optical devices ThermTec Outdoor presents a new series of thermal imaging spotters called Wild.

As the name suggests, these monoculars are adapted to demanding conditions in the wild. The rubberised construction is made of a magnesium alloy and thanks to the IP67 protection rating you don’t have to worry about rain or dust, and all components can withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C.

Version Wild 650 is equipped with a 640x512px thermal core with an exceptionally high sensitivity of NETD ≤18mK (the lower the value, the more sensitive it is). In combination with a 50mm lens you can detect a target at a distance of up to 2600 metres.

The L designation means that the monocular is equipped with a laser rangefinder with a range of 1000 m, a wavelength of 905 nm and a deviation of only 1 metre. In addition, thanks to the LRF Boost technology using artificial intelligence, the device can display the distance to several targets at once.

The resulting image is transmitted to a 50Hz AMOLED display with a resolution of 1024x768px. You can switch between 6 colour modes and, in addition to fixed optical magnification, you can further enlarge the target with a smooth 1-4x digital zoom.

The device can also be paired with a smartphone via a mobile app, where you can view stored recordings, change settings or update the monocular’s firmware. And thanks to cleverly positioned buttons, an ergonomic joystick and a focusing dial on the top of the tube, you can comfortably operate it with just one hand.

The power source is a single 18650 battery (2 are included in the package) providing up to 8 hours of continuous operation, which can be charged directly in the device using the supplied cable or outside the device using the supplied charger.
