The Sidewinder™ is our premium handheld observational
thermal monocular series. All models come equipped with
either a 384×288 or 640×512 twelve micron infrared detector
and a 1024×768 OLED display, for improved color rendering. The
Sidewinder thermal sensors also come equipped with the most
sensitive temperature ratings in its class, coming in at sub-20
millikelvin across the entire product family. Other improvements
over the Taipan monoculars include a more robust body/housing
and a removable, rechargeable 18650 battery. These units also
boast an impressive waterproof rating, which ensures users have
peace of mind while utilizing these under the vast majority of
weather conditions.
The Sidewinders built-in 64 GB memory also sits at the top of
its class on the market, with advanced software supporting
both video recording and image capture. The primary uses
for these thermal monoculars include, but are not limited to:
hunting, law enforcement, search-and-rescue, personal security,
conservation, anti-poaching, camping, hiking and different
marine applications.
