NocPix ACE L35 Thermal Imaging Scope

The ACE L35 makes most sense if you want the ACE platform at a lower price point and do not need a 640×512 or 1280×1024 thermal sensor.

Its 384×288 sensor, 35mm F0.9 lens and 4× base magnification make it particularly suited to shorter and medium-distance use. You still get the premium ACE design and key imaging technologies, but with a specification that is more accessible than the H50, H50R and S60R.

If image detail at greater distances or while using more magnification is important, the ACE H50 is the logical next step because it moves to a 640×512 sensor and 50mm F0.9 lens.

If you also want an integrated laser rangefinder, consider the ACE H50R. The L35 itself does not contain an integrated LRF.

The ACE range progresses from the 384×288 L35 through the 640×512 H50 models to the flagship 1280×1024 S60R. ACE RM models provide alternative rail-mount versions of selected rangefinding models.

Choose the ACE L35 if you want the lowest-cost route into the ACE family and your priority is shorter to medium-distance use.

Choose the ACE H50 if you want the major step up to a 640×512 sensor and 50mm lens but do not require integrated rangefinding.

Choose the ACE H50R if you want 640×512 performance with an integrated laser rangefinder.

Choose the ACE RM H50R if you want H50R-level performance with NocPix's dedicated rail-mount format.

Choose the ACE S60R if maximum ACE image quality is the priority, with its flagship 1280×1024 sensor.

Choose the ACE RM S60R if you want the flagship S60R specification with the dedicated rail-mount configuration.

The H50 is the most logical upgrade from the L35 because both models omit an integrated LRF, making the difference primarily about thermal and optical performance.

The biggest improvement is the move from 384×288 to 640×512 resolution. The H50 captures substantially more thermal image information, which becomes particularly valuable when viewing finer detail or applying digital magnification.

The H50 also adds a larger 50mm lens, lower 3× base magnification, greater maximum magnification and a longer manufacturer-stated detection range.

Choose L35 if its more accessible price and 384-class performance suit your requirements. Choose H50 if the improvement in thermal detail is worth the additional investment.

There are two significant steps between the L35 and H50R: thermal image resolution and integrated rangefinding.

The H50R moves from the L35's 384×288 sensor and 35mm lens to a 640×512 sensor and 50mm F0.9 lens. It also adds an integrated laser rangefinder.

If you mainly operate at familiar distances and do not require integrated ranging, the L35 keeps the ACE package considerably more accessible.

If you want greater image detail and regularly need to determine distance directly through the optic, the H50R is the more complete option.

RM stands for Rail Mount. NocPix ACE RM models use a dedicated integrated rail-mount format rather than the standard ACE mounting arrangement.

The current RM options sit further up the ACE family and include the ACE RM H50R and ACE RM S60R. They retain the core thermal sensor and objective lens combinations of their corresponding standard H50R and S60R models, with the mounting configuration being the principal distinction.

The ACE L35 is a standard ACE model rather than an RM model. If you specifically want the dedicated rail-mount configuration, you will therefore need to move to one of the applicable RM models.

The L35 uses a 384×288, 12μm thermal sensor with ≤18mK thermal sensitivity.

NETD measures how small a temperature difference the thermal system can distinguish. Lower NETD figures generally help preserve detail when there is relatively little temperature contrast between a subject and its surroundings.

NocPix's Reality+ image processing works alongside the thermal detector to optimise image detail and contrast, while the 60Hz refresh rate provides smooth viewing when either the optic or subject is moving.

The 35mm objective also uses a fast F0.9 aperture, helping maximise thermal energy reaching the sensor.

NocPix states a thermal detection range of up to 1,800 metres for the ACE L35 under its specified test conditions.

Detection range is not the same as positive identification distance. Actual usable detail depends on factors including subject size, thermal contrast, weather and atmospheric conditions.

The L35 provides a field of view of approximately 13.2 × 9.9 metres at 100 metres, with 4× base magnification.

Although the L35 is the entry model in the ACE family, it still benefits from the wider ACE viewing and image-processing platform.

NocPix's Vision+ system is designed to provide a clear and immersive viewing experience through the scope, while Reality+ processing works with the thermal detector to optimise the displayed image.

This is an important distinction when comparing the L35 purely by its 384×288 sensor specification. It is designed as an accessible route into the premium ACE platform rather than simply as a basic standalone 384 thermal scope.

The ACE platform includes digital functionality alongside its core thermal imaging system.

Supported features include onboard image and video capture, Recoil Activated Video on applicable settings and wireless connectivity for compatible NocPix software and mobile-device functionality.

NocPix also provides firmware updates for the ACE platform, allowing software features and system behaviour to be refined over time.

The ACE L35 provides an interesting middle ground because it gives you access to the premium ACE platform while retaining a more accessible 384×288 sensor configuration.

Choose BOLT if overall value and an accessible dedicated thermal setup are your main priorities.

Choose ACE if you want the premium ACE platform and the ability to move through progressively higher sensor resolutions, LRF options and mounting configurations.

Choose RICO2 if longer-range use is the priority and you specifically want the larger-lens and higher-magnification configurations available in that family.

What sensor does the NocPix ACE L35 use?
The ACE L35 uses a 384×288, 12μm thermal detector with ≤18mK thermal sensitivity.

Does the ACE L35 have an integrated laser rangefinder?
No. The L35 does not include an integrated LRF. The ACE H50R and S60R provide integrated rangefinding further up the range.

What is the difference between ACE L35 and H50?
The L35 uses a 384×288 sensor and 35mm F0.9 lens, while the H50 moves to a higher-resolution 640×512 sensor and larger 50mm F0.9 lens. The H50 also provides greater maximum magnification and a longer stated detection range.

What is the difference between ACE L35 and H50R?
In addition to the higher-resolution 640×512 sensor and 50mm lens, the H50R includes an integrated laser rangefinder. The L35 does not.

What does RM mean on an ACE scope?
RM means Rail Mount. Applicable ACE RM models use NocPix's dedicated rail-mount format rather than the standard ACE mounting configuration.

How far can the ACE L35 detect?
NocPix states a detection range of up to 1,800 metres under its specified test conditions. Detection range should not be confused with positive identification distance.

What magnification does the ACE L35 have?
The L35 provides 4–16× magnification.

Is the ACE L35 the entry model in the ACE range?
Yes. The L35 is the most accessible standard ACE model and is a good option for customers who want the ACE platform without moving immediately to a 640×512 or 1280×1024 sensor.

Should I buy the ACE L35 or spend more on the H50?
Choose the L35 if 384×288 performance meets your requirements and value is important. The H50 is the stronger choice if you want substantially greater sensor resolution and more retained detail, particularly as distance or magnification increases.

What warranty does the NocPix ACE L35 have?
NocPix provides a standard 3-year warranty on the main device, 2 years on the battery and 10 years on the thermal detector. For products purchased from Bamfords, contact us directly for warranty support.

The NocPix ACE L35 uses a 30mm scope tube, so it requires compatible 30mm scope rings or mounts.

If you are using the Bamfords free Hawke match mount offer, make sure you choose a 30mm two-piece mount that matches your rifle's rail type.

The standard ACE L35, H50, H50R and S60R models all use the conventional 30mm tube mounting format.

ACE RM models are different. The RM H50R and RM S60R use NocPix's dedicated rail-mount system instead of conventional 30mm rings.
