Full product description
RIX Stride ST6 Lite Thermal Monocular640 Helmet Mounted Thermal
The RIX Stride ST6 Lite Thermal Monocular is a high-resolution, helmet-mounted thermal built for hunters and night operators who demand maximum clarity without sacrificing mobility.
Equipped with a 640×512, 12µm sensor and <20mK NETD, the ST6 Lite delivers ultra-clear thermal imaging even in difficult environmental conditions. The crisp 1024×768 OLED display provides sharp contrast and excellent detail, allowing you to identify heat signatures with confidence.
With a true 1× base magnification, wide 17.5° × 13.1° field of view, and adjustable 16× magnification, the ST6 Lite maintains natural depth perception while giving you the resolution advantage of a 640 core.
Detection range is rated at 1,300 meters / 1,423 yards (6ft object), making it ideal for open pasture, crop fields, and extended observation.
Despite its performance, it remains lightweight at just 205g (0.45 lb) fully capable as a helmet-mounted thermal monocular.
