PNP-MTHD Miniature Thermal Imaging Monocular
State of the art world beating product with 640 x 480 pixel array, High Definition,
17 micron pixel pitch, 25Hz refresh rate is complemented by a wide range of
specially developed accessories enabling the user to perform a hugh variety of
missions based on just a single platform.
Features
The unique ‘Near Eye OLED’ display always produces a large crisp image right in front
of the eye and overcomes the ‘tunnel vision’ problem common in inferior designs.
The PNP-MTHD is the world’s smallest and lightest thermal imaging monocular. The kit
utilises an advanced glass reinforced polymer main body with a centre of mass as far
to the rear as possible to minimise neck strain during prolonged head mounted operations.
Two CR 123 batteries, for light weight, give up to 7 hours’ continuous operation. High quality
IR optics are used for maximum image quality and the entire monocular body, electronics
and optics are filled with dry nitrogen for ultimate reliability in all missions. This gives an
image having an apparent angle of view of 36° horizontally, which is similar to that of the
human eye and therefore considerably aids speed and clarity of target acquisition. When
head/helmet worn in the 17mm lens option model the image as seen by the user is 1:1
ratio to actual size, therefore considerably enhancing judgements of distance and safety
of manoeuvre. The 25 mm & 35 mm give Search & Rescue capability with a 1.5 & 2x
optical magnification respectively.
All models accept the optional 3x rapidattach magnifier lens which produces 3x, 4.5x
and 6x basic optical magnification respectively for the three models in addition to the
inbuilt 2x and 4x digital zoom function incorporated as standard.
Usable hand held, helmet mounted, head mounted or tripod mounted, the PNP-MTHD
does everything. And this includes adaptors for attaching instantly to camcorders,
dSLR cameras and CCTV cameras for total darkness surveillance. The PNP-MTHD can
even power directly from a vehicle cigarette lighter socket (via optional Pyser adaptor)
6v supply and take the live PAL video directly to any compatible recording device or
transmitter at the same time as viewing with the naked eye.
For security and convenience the PNP-MTHD monocular on its helmet or head mount
auto switches off when flipped up and auto switches on with no switch resetting needed
when flipped back down again. Shuttered rubber eyecups are also available which simply
screw on without needing to remove the normal soft fold-back eyecup.
For added security, an icon inside the 27mm eye relief eyepiece illuminates to warn
against a low battery charge situation.
And of course all accessories can be used with no tools.
