NocPix VISTA H35R Thermal Imaging Monocular with LRF

The VISTA H35R uses a high-resolution 640×512 thermal detector with a 12μm pixel pitch. The higher sensor resolution helps preserve fine thermal detail and provides a detailed image across the H35R's relatively wide field of view.

Its ≤15mK NETD rating is particularly important. NETD represents the detector's ability to distinguish extremely small differences in temperature, with a lower figure indicating greater thermal sensitivity.

This allows subtle temperature differences within an animal, vegetation and the surrounding landscape to remain visible, particularly when natural thermal contrast is reduced by damp, foggy, overcast or otherwise challenging environmental conditions.

The H35R combines its 640×512 sensor with a fast 35mm F0.9 germanium objective lens. The large F0.9 aperture allows a high level of infrared energy to reach the detector, complementing the sensor's excellent thermal sensitivity.

The 35mm focal length gives the H35R one of its biggest practical advantages: a wide 12.5° × 10° field of view, equivalent to approximately 22m × 18m at 100 metres.

This makes the H35R particularly effective as a scanning thermal monocular. A larger section of the landscape remains visible at once, making it easier to locate animals and follow moving heat sources than with a higher-magnification, narrower-field thermal monocular.

The major difference between the VISTA H35R and standard H35 is the H35R's integrated laser rangefinder.

NocPix specifies a maximum ranging distance of up to 1,200 metres. The Class 1 laser rangefinder allows the distance to an observed target to be measured directly through the thermal monocular, eliminating the need to switch between the VISTA and a separate handheld rangefinder.

This is particularly useful with thermal imaging because judging distance through a thermal image can be more difficult than it is during daylight observation. Knowing the measured distance gives the user additional context when observing animals and terrain.

The VISTA H35R starts at 3× base magnification and provides digital magnification up to 28×.

NocPix specifies a maximum thermal detection distance of up to 1,800 metres using a standard 1.7m × 0.5m target. Detection range refers to detecting that a heat source is present; recognition and positive identification take place at shorter distances and depend on target size, weather and environmental conditions.

The combination of 3× base magnification, a 35mm lens and wide field of view gives the H35R a strong balance between useful reach and the ability to scan large areas efficiently.

The VISTA H35R uses NocPix's high-resolution 2560×2560 AMOLED display. The high display resolution complements the 640×512 thermal sensor and provides a detailed viewing image.

The VISTA series uses a distinctive circular display and large ocular arrangement designed to provide a more natural viewing experience, while AMOLED technology offers strong contrast and deep blacks.

A fast 60Hz thermal refresh rate keeps the image smooth when scanning quickly across terrain or following moving animals.

The NocPix VISTA H35R uses a removable NocPix IBP-7 rechargeable Li-ion battery pack. Each IBP-7 has a capacity of 4400mAh.

Two IBP-7 rechargeable battery packs are supplied with the VISTA H35R. You therefore receive the battery required to operate the monocular plus a second interchangeable battery for extended use; a spare battery does not need to be purchased separately.

Battery Type	NocPix IBP-7 rechargeable Li-ion battery pack
Battery Capacity	4400mAh per battery
Batteries Included	2 × IBP-7 rechargeable batteries
Battery System	Removable / interchangeable
Stated Runtime	Up to 5.5 hours per battery at 22°C

The interchangeable battery system is a significant advantage during longer observation sessions. When the battery in the H35R is depleted, it can be removed and replaced with the second supplied IBP-7 rather than having to stop using the monocular while an internal battery recharges.

Actual operating time can vary according to ambient temperature and the features being used, including Wi-Fi, recording and other electronic functions.

The VISTA H35R includes 64GB of internal memory, providing substantial built-in storage for thermal photographs and video recordings without requiring a separate memory card.

The monocular also supports a microphone, allowing audio to be captured with compatible video recordings. This is useful for documenting observations and reviewing footage after a session.

The VISTA H35R and H35 share the same core thermal imaging platform. Both use a 640×512 12μm sensor, ≤15mK NETD, 35mm F0.9 objective lens, 3–28× magnification and 12.5° × 10° field of view.

The important difference is the rangefinder.

VISTA H35R	Integrated Class 1 laser rangefinder with up to 1,200m ranging distance
VISTA H35	No integrated laser rangefinder

Choose the H35R if you want to measure distance directly through the thermal monocular. Choose the H35 if you want the same fundamental 35mm thermal imaging performance and wide field of view but do not need integrated ranging.

The H35R and H50R both combine a 640×512 sensor and integrated 1,200m laser rangefinder, but the different objective lenses give the two models noticeably different characteristics.

VISTA H35R	35mm F0.9 | 3–28× | 12.5° × 10° FOV | 1,800m detection
VISTA H50R	50mm F0.9 | 4–40× | 8.8° × 7° FOV | 2,600m detection

The H35R is the better choice when a wider field of view and efficient scanning are the priority. Its lower 3× base magnification makes locating heat sources across larger areas easier.

The H50R provides greater native magnification and a longer stated detection distance, making it more focused towards observation at extended ranges.

VISTA H35	640×512 | 35mm F0.9 | 3–28× | Wide FOV | No LRF
VISTA H35R	640×512 | 35mm F0.9 | 3–28× | Wide FOV | 1,200m LRF
VISTA H50	640×512 | 50mm F0.9 | 4–40× | Longer-range bias | No LRF
VISTA H50R	640×512 | 50mm F0.9 | 4–40× | Longer-range bias | 1,200m LRF
VISTA S50R	1280×1024 | 50mm F0.9 | 2–40× | Flagship sensor | Integrated LRF

The H35R is arguably the most natural choice in the VISTA range for users who want a wide-field 640-resolution thermal monocular but also want distance measurement built directly into the device.
