NocPix ACE 2 H50R Thermal Imaging Scope with LRF

The ACE 2 H50R uses a high-resolution 640×512 thermal detector with a 12μm pixel pitch.

The 640-resolution sensor captures more than 327,000 individual thermal pixels, providing substantially greater native detail than a 384×288 detector before any digital magnification is applied.

This increased sensor resolution helps preserve the shape and outline of animals, vegetation and surrounding terrain, particularly when viewing at greater distances.

The H50R operates at a smooth 60Hz refresh rate, helping movement appear fluid while scanning or following a moving heat source.

The ACE 2 H50R uses a detector with ≤12mK NETD thermal sensitivity.

NETD measures the sensor's ability to distinguish very small differences in temperature. Lower NETD values indicate greater thermal sensitivity.

This is particularly valuable during difficult thermal conditions such as damp weather, fog, mist, mild temperatures and overcast nights, where an animal and the surrounding landscape may be closer together in temperature.

Compared with the ≤15mK sensor used in the previous-generation ACE H50R, ACE 2 is designed to reveal more subtle temperature differences and preserve greater scene detail when thermal contrast is poor.

The ACE 2 H50R pairs its 640×512 detector with a fast 50mm F0.9 germanium objective lens.

The F0.9 aperture allows a high level of infrared energy to reach the sensor, complementing the scope's highly sensitive ≤12mK detector.

The 50mm focal length provides greater native target scale than the 35mm H35R, making the H50R better suited to viewing across larger fields and open ground.

Objective Lens	50mm F0.9
Field of View	8.8° × 7.0°
Field of View at 100m	15.4 × 12.3m
Base Magnification	3×

The narrower field of view is the trade-off for the additional native image scale provided by the 50mm lens.

The ACE 2 H50R provides a 3–24× magnification range.

The 3× native view gives targets more image scale than the 2× H35R, making the H50R particularly useful when much of the observation is carried out across medium and longer distances.

Magnification can then be increased when a closer view is required for examination or identification.

As with any thermal optic, increasing electronic magnification reduces the amount of native sensor information represented in the enlarged view. ACE 2's Ocular Zoom 2.0 system is designed to provide a more flexible viewing experience than digital magnification alone.

Ocular Zoom 2.0 is one of the major features of the ACE 2 platform.

The system combines ocular adjustment with digital magnification to create NocPix's Hybrid Zoom system, helping maintain a natural and comfortable viewing experience across the magnification range.

ACE 2 also increases eye relief to 60mm and uses a large 10mm exit pupil, making eye positioning behind the optic more forgiving than on the previous generation.

If the user prefers conventional digital magnification, NocPix confirms that Hybrid Zoom can be disabled in the Custom menu.

ACE 2 introduces NocPix's upgraded R+ 2.0 thermal image-processing system.

The algorithm works with the high-sensitivity detector to refine detail, reduce unwanted thermal noise and improve the presentation of edges and scene structure.

This is particularly useful across vegetation, rough ground and complex backgrounds where retaining subtle thermal and structural information can make the image easier to interpret.

The final image quality of a thermal optic depends on the combined performance of its sensor, lens, thermal sensitivity, image-processing algorithm and viewing system rather than sensor resolution alone.

The ACE 2 H50R incorporates NocPix's upgraded Integrated LRF 2.0 laser rangefinder directly into the scope.

NocPix states that the second-generation system provides 11% sharper optics and up to 57% faster ranging performance in difficult conditions compared with the previous generation.

Distance information is displayed through the optic, removing the need to move between the thermal riflescope and a separate handheld rangefinder.

This becomes particularly useful at night because darkness removes many of the normal visual cues used to judge distance accurately.

The H50R combines its integrated rangefinder with NocPix Ballistic Calculation 2.0.

The ballistic system can calculate an aiming solution using measured distance together with configured ballistic information.

NocPix states that the system can take account of factors including distance, angle, wind drift and environmental parameters when calculating the aiming point.

This brings thermal observation, ranging and ballistic assistance together within one optic.

Ballistic calculation remains an aiming aid and does not replace correct zeroing, verified ammunition data, positive target identification or safe shooting practice.

ACE 2 introduces Dual-Clarity Mode to tailor the thermal image to different types of observation.

Motion Mode is designed to prioritise smooth, blur-free imagery when following moving targets.

Still Mode places greater emphasis on fine detail when the scene or target is relatively stationary.

This allows the user to prioritise motion performance or fine-image detail rather than relying on one fixed image-processing mode for every situation.

ACE 2 combines integrated laser ranging with an electronic compass to provide intelligent target-position information.

NocPix describes the system as being capable of providing target coordinates following a measurement, helping the user relocate or reference a position after the initial observation.

The feature is intended to make it easier to maintain awareness of a target's position across difficult terrain, vegetation and low-light environments.

ACE 2's redesigned ocular system provides 60mm eye relief and a 10mm exit pupil.

NocPix states that the eye relief is up to 25% longer than the previous generation.

The larger exit pupil also provides greater tolerance in eye position, helping the full image remain easier to acquire when mounting the rifle quickly or viewing from less-than-perfect positions.

Eye Relief	60mm
Exit Pupil	10mm

The NocPix ACE 2 H50R uses a dual-power system combining onboard rechargeable power with a replaceable rechargeable 18650 battery.

Two rechargeable 18650 batteries are supplied in the package together with an 18650 battery charger. This allows a charged spare battery to be carried and swapped in the field when required.

NocPix has designed the removable battery system so the external 18650 can be inserted in either orientation. There is no need to identify the positive or negative end before fitting it.

Power System	Dual power supply
External Battery	Rechargeable 18650 Li-ion
18650 Batteries Included	2
Battery Charger Included	Yes
Battery Polarity	Either orientation supported
Maximum Runtime	Up to 8 hours under specified conditions
External Connection	USB Type-C

Actual runtime varies according to ambient temperature and use of Wi-Fi, recording, display settings and other power-intensive functions.

ACE 2 introduces faster 5G Wi-Fi connectivity with transfer speeds stated by NocPix at up to 20MB/s.

The scope supports onboard photography and thermal video recording, allowing observations to be captured without an external recorder.

Recoil Activated Video can automatically save footage associated with a detected shot, reducing the chance of missing an important recording because video had not been started manually.

One-tap app connectivity also allows the scope to remember a previously connected device, reducing repeated pairing steps.

ACE 2 uses a high-strength magnesium-alloy body designed to reduce the weight added to the rifle without sacrificing durability.

NocPix states that the ACE 2 platform is approximately 25% lighter than the previous generation and weighs under 1kg.

The weight reduction is particularly useful on a full-length riflescope because it helps reduce front-heavy handling and fatigue during extended carrying or unsupported shooting positions.

NocPix rates the ACE 2 platform to withstand recoil energy up to 7,000 joules.

The manufacturer specifically confirms compatibility with cartridges including .308 Win and .338 Lapua within the product's rated recoil limits.

NocPix also confirms that ACE 2 can be fitted to an air rifle.

Maximum Recoil Resistance	Up to 7,000J
Air Rifle Compatible	Yes

The H50R and H35R use the same 640×512, 12μm, ≤12mK detector and both operate at 60Hz. The key difference is the objective lens and resulting magnification and field of view.

ACE 2 H35R	35mm F0.9 | 2× base magnification | 12.6° × 10.1° FOV | 21.9 × 17.6m @100m
ACE 2 H50R	50mm F0.9 | 3× base magnification | 8.8° × 7.0° FOV | 15.4 × 12.3m @100m

The H50R is therefore not simply a higher-spec H35R. They use the same detector but are optimised for different viewing distances.

The S60R is the flagship ACE 2 and represents a major increase in native detector resolution.

ACE 2 H50R	640×512 | ≤12mK | 50mm F0.9 | 60Hz | 3–24× | 15.4 × 12.3m @100m
ACE 2 S60R	1280×1024 | ≤12mK | 60mm F1.0 | 30/60Hz | much larger sensor

A 1280×1024 detector contains approximately four times as many thermal pixels as a 640×512 detector.

This gives the S60R considerably more native thermal information, particularly when examining distant targets or applying magnification.

The ACE 2 H50R keeps the successful 640×512 / 50mm F0.9 concept of the original H50R but upgrades the underlying platform substantially.

Original ACE H50R	640×512 | ≤15mK | 50mm F0.9 | 60Hz | 3–24×
ACE 2 H50R	640×512 | ≤12mK | 50mm F0.9 | 60Hz | 3–24×

Although the resolution and lens remain familiar, ACE 2 improves thermal sensitivity and introduces a newer generation of image processing, ocular zoom, rangefinding, ballistic calculation, connectivity and physical design.

Important ACE 2 upgrades include:

• Improved ≤12mK thermal sensitivity
• R+ 2.0 image processing
• Ocular Zoom 2.0
• Integrated LRF 2.0
• Ballistic Calculation 2.0
• Dual-Clarity modes
• Intelligent target tracking
• 60mm eye relief
• 10mm exit pupil
• 5G Wi-Fi
• Up to 8-hour battery runtime
• High-strength magnesium construction
• Weight reduced to under 1kg
• Recoil resistance increased to 7,000J

ACE 2 H35R — the wide-field 640 model. Best suited to users who value a 2× starting magnification and a broad viewing area for woodland, hedgerows and mixed ground.

ACE 2 H50R — the longer-range 640 model. The 50mm F0.9 objective and 3× base magnification give targets greater native image scale across larger fields and more open terrain.

ACE 2 S60R — the flagship model. It moves to a 1280×1024 thermal detector for substantially greater native resolution while retaining premium ACE 2 features.

For many users wanting a premium thermal riflescope without stepping all the way to the 1280-resolution S60R, the H50R is likely to be the strongest all-round longer-range choice in the range.
