Overview
This thermal clip-on is designed for hunters who want to keep using a traditional glass scope while adding thermal capability in front of it. Its slimmer, more ergonomic redesign is meant to make the setup less cumbersome than the previous model, while the internal battery is stated to provide up to 10 hours of field use. Built around ATN’s Obsidian LT Core with 12 micron sensors, it is positioned for users looking for a clip-on solution that can be mounted and used without zeroing. It suits day or night hunting situations where a familiar optic setup is preferred but thermal observation is needed.
