NocPix MATE ULTRA S60R Thermal Imaging Clip-On Attachment with LRF

The MATE ULTRA S60R is the model to choose if you want the highest image resolution and strongest long-range performance available in the MATE clip-on range. Its 1280×1024 sensor provides a substantial increase in thermal image detail over the 640×512 H38R and H50R.

The 60mm F1.0 objective lens extends the stated detection range to 3,100 metres, making the ULTRA particularly well suited to large fields, open terrain and situations where subjects may be encountered at substantial distances.

Importantly, the larger 1280×1024 sensor also gives the ULTRA an unusually wide field of view for a 60mm thermal system. At 100 metres it provides approximately 25.6 × 20.5 metres of view, meaning you gain long-range capability without the very narrow viewing experience normally associated with a longer objective lens.

If you want maximum performance regardless of price, the ULTRA is the clear flagship choice. If you do not require the additional resolution and range, the H50R offers strong long-distance capability at a considerably lower price point.

The main differences across the NocPix MATE range are sensor resolution, objective lens, detection range, field of view and integrated rangefinding. Choosing the right model largely depends on your budget, typical viewing distances and the level of thermal image detail you require.

Choose the MATE LITE if value is the priority. Its 384×288 sensor and 38mm F1.0 lens provide up to 1,950m detection, making it the most accessible way into the MATE system. The main compromises are lower sensor resolution and no integrated laser rangefinder.

Choose the MATE H38R if you want the strongest all-round balance. It moves to a 640×512 sensor while retaining the versatile 38mm F1.0 lens and 1,950m stated detection range, and also adds an integrated 1,200m laser rangefinder.

Choose the MATE H50R if longer-distance performance is more important than maximum field of view. It retains the 640×512 sensor but moves to a 50mm F1.0 lens, increasing stated detection range to 2,600m.

Choose the MATE ULTRA if you want the highest-performing model in the range. Its 1280×1024 sensor provides a major increase in resolution over the 640-series models, while the 60mm F1.0 lens extends stated detection to 3,100m. Despite the larger lens, its high-resolution sensor also allows an impressive 25.6 × 20.5m field of view at 100m.

In short: LITE for value, H38R for the best all-round balance, H50R for longer-range 640×512 performance, and ULTRA for maximum image quality, field of view and long-range capability.

The defining feature of the MATE ULTRA is its 1280×1024 thermal detector. Compared with the 640×512 sensors used by the H38R and H50R, the ULTRA captures substantially more thermal image information, allowing finer environmental and target detail to be displayed.

This higher sensor resolution becomes particularly valuable when observing at distance or when the image is enlarged. More source resolution gives the system greater image information to work with, helping retain useful detail as viewing conditions become more demanding.

The ≤15mK thermal sensitivity helps the detector distinguish very small temperature differences, while NocPix Reality+ image processing is designed to optimise image clarity and detail. A 60Hz refresh rate keeps movement smooth when scanning or following moving subjects.

The MATE ULTRA S60R incorporates an integrated laser rangefinder with a stated measuring range of up to 1,200 metres. This allows accurate distance information to be obtained directly through the thermal system without relying on a separate handheld rangefinder.

Built-in ballistic calculation works alongside the ranging function to provide additional information when distances vary, making the system particularly useful for demanding longer-distance applications.

The MATE ULTRA S60R is designed primarily as a front-mounted thermal attachment for use with a conventional daytime riflescope. This allows you to retain the familiar eye relief, reticle and shooting position of your existing optic while adding high-end thermal imaging capability.

A suitable adapter is required to securely attach the MATE to the objective end of the day scope. Adapter size is determined by the external diameter of the riflescope's objective housing, rather than simply the stated objective lens size.

If you are unsure which adapter is suitable for your riflescope, contact us with the make and model of your scope and we can help confirm compatibility.

The MATE ULTRA S60R includes 64GB of internal storage and supports photo, video and audio recording, allowing thermal footage to be captured directly through the device.

Recoil Activated Video (RAV) can capture footage around the moment a shot is fired, helping ensure important moments are recorded without having to manually start recording beforehand.

Wi-Fi and remote functionality provide additional options for device control and accessing recorded content, while Magic Zoom and N-Link functionality are also supported.

NocPix thermal imaging products are supplied with manufacturer warranty cover for added peace of mind.

The standard NocPix warranty provides:

• 3 years warranty on the main device
• 2 years warranty on the battery
• 10 years warranty on the thermal detector

The main device warranty can be extended to 4 years by completing the applicable NocPix product registration for the extended warranty.

For NocPix products purchased from Bamfords, we are your point of contact for warranty support. If you experience a problem with your NocPix product, contact us with your proof of purchase and details of the fault and we will assist with the warranty process on your behalf.

Warranty cover is subject to the manufacturer's terms and conditions and does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidental damage, unauthorised modification or repair, or use outside the manufacturer's instructions.

What sensor does the NocPix MATE ULTRA S60R use?
The MATE ULTRA uses a 1280×1024 thermal detector with a 12μm pixel pitch and 60Hz refresh rate, giving it substantially higher resolution than the 640×512 H38R and H50R.

What is the detection range of the MATE ULTRA?
The stated thermal detection range is up to 3,100 metres, the longest in the current MATE range. Actual recognition and identification distances will depend on target size, weather, thermal contrast and environmental conditions.

Does the MATE ULTRA have a laser rangefinder?
Yes. The S60R incorporates an integrated laser rangefinder with a stated range of up to 1,200 metres.

What is the difference between the MATE ULTRA and H50R?
The H50R uses a 640×512 sensor with a 50mm F1.0 lens and offers up to 2,600m detection. The ULTRA moves to a much higher-resolution 1280×1024 sensor, a 60mm F1.0 lens and up to 3,100m detection. The higher-resolution sensor also allows the ULTRA to provide a much wider field of view despite its larger objective lens.

Is the MATE ULTRA worth stepping up from the H38R or H50R?
The main reason to step up is the 1280×1024 sensor. It provides considerably more thermal image information than the 640×512 models, particularly valuable when viewing fine detail or using the system at extended distances. If maximum image quality is not required, the H38R and H50R provide strong performance at lower price points.

Does the MATE ULTRA replace my daytime riflescope?
No. It is designed primarily to mount in front of a compatible daytime riflescope, allowing you to retain your existing optic and reticle.

Does the MATE ULTRA support ballistic calculation?
Yes. The ULTRA combines its integrated 1,200m laser rangefinder with built-in ballistic calculation functionality.

Can the MATE ULTRA record video?
Yes. It supports photo, video and audio recording and includes 64GB of internal storage.

Does the MATE ULTRA have Recoil Activated Video?
Yes. Recoil Activated Video (RAV) is supported.

Which adapter do I need for my riflescope?
The correct adapter size depends on the external diameter of your day scope's objective housing. If you are unsure, contact us with your scope make and model and we can help identify the appropriate adapter.

What warranty does the NocPix MATE ULTRA have?
NocPix provides a 3-year standard warranty on the main device, which can be extended to 4 years through the applicable product registration. The battery carries a 2-year warranty and the thermal detector is covered for 10 years. For products purchased from Bamfords, contact us if you need warranty assistance and we will help with the process.
