Full product description
The RIX Stride ST3 Lite Thermal Monocular is a compact thermal monocular designed for hunters, ranchers, and outdoor professionals who need reliable heat detection in any lighting condition. Whether you are pre-scouting a hunting area, scanning your property perimeter after dark, or tracking a blood trail, this handheld thermal imager delivers clear imagery when your eyes alone cannot.
Powered by a high-resolution thermal sensor and 15mm objective lens, the RIX Stride ST3 Lite Thermal Monocular reveals heat signatures that are invisible to the naked eye. The 20 mK NETD rating produces sharp thermal contrast for easy target identification at distance. Detection range reaches 850 yards, giving you early warning on approaching animals or threats well before they reach your position. Magnification ranges from 1x to 6x, letting you sweep at low power and punch in on distant targets.
Battery life lasts up to 4 hours, keeping you powered through extended observation sessions without needing a swap. Weighing 0.42lb, the RIX Stride ST3 Lite Thermal Monocular rides comfortably in a cargo pocket or chest rig all night. Multiple color palettes let you adapt the display to different terrain and personal preference.
