Overview
This thermal clip-on is built for hunters and professionals who want to add thermal capability to a daytime optic without changing their setup or re-zeroing. It mounts in front of a 1-6x day scope and is suited for hunting, patrolling, and overwatch, with controls and mounting designed for straightforward use in the field. The ArmaCORE 640x480 sensor, 35mm germanium lens, and up to 1300-meter detection range provide thermal viewing in darkness, fog, smoke, and harsh weather, while multiple color palettes and image enhancement options help tailor the display to conditions. A quick-detach mount, USB-C connectivity, video and image capture, and up to 4 hours of runtime at 20°C round out a package focused on practical field use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a compatible 1-6x day scope for front-mounted use, so it is not a standalone optic.
- The clip-on format adds capability without re-zeroing, but it also means you are working through your existing day scope rather than using a dedicated thermal sight.
- Runtime is listed at up to 4 hours at 20°C, so extended outings may require battery planning or spares.
- The feature set includes video/image capture, USB-C connectivity, and multiple color palettes, which adds flexibility but also means more functions to manage in the field.
