NocPix VISTA H50R Thermal Imaging Monocular with LRF

The VISTA H50R uses a high-resolution 640×512 thermal detector with a 12μm pixel pitch. This resolution gives the monocular plenty of thermal information to work with and helps preserve useful detail when observing smaller or more distant heat sources.

The detector is rated at ≤15mK NETD. NETD indicates how effectively a thermal sensor can distinguish very small differences in temperature, with a lower value representing greater thermal sensitivity.

This high sensitivity becomes particularly useful in difficult conditions where the temperature difference between an animal and the surrounding environment is reduced, such as damp, foggy or overcast weather.

The H50R pairs its 640×512 sensor with a fast 50mm F0.9 germanium objective lens. The large F0.9 aperture allows a high level of infrared energy to reach the detector, helping the sensor make the most of its strong thermal sensitivity.

The 50mm focal length gives the H50R 4× base magnification and an 8.8° × 7° field of view, equivalent to approximately 15m × 12m at 100 metres.

Compared with the wider-field H35R, the H50R shows a smaller area of the landscape at once but gives distant heat sources more apparent size at base magnification. This makes it particularly well suited to open farmland, larger fields and observation at longer distances.

The VISTA H50R incorporates a Class 1 laser rangefinder directly into the thermal monocular.

NocPix specifies a maximum ranging distance of up to 1,200 metres, allowing distance to a target or object to be measured without switching to a separate rangefinding device.

This is especially useful with thermal imaging because judging distance purely from a thermal image can be difficult, particularly across featureless fields or in darkness. Having measured range information available directly through the monocular gives the user far more useful context when observing at distance.

The VISTA H50R starts at 4× base magnification and provides digital magnification up to 40×.

NocPix specifies a maximum thermal detection range of up to 2,600 metres using a standard 1.7m × 0.5m target. This gives the H50R considerably more stated detection reach than the 35mm H35R, which is rated to 1,800 metres.

Detection range should not be confused with recognition or positive identification distance. At very long range the H50R may reveal that a heat source is present, while determining exactly what the target is requires a shorter distance and sufficient thermal detail.

The VISTA H50R uses NocPix's high-resolution 2560×2560 AMOLED display, providing a detailed viewing image that complements the 640×512 thermal sensor.

The VISTA platform uses a distinctive circular display and large ocular design intended to provide a more natural viewing experience than a conventional small rectangular thermal screen.

AMOLED technology delivers strong contrast and deep blacks, while the 60Hz refresh rate keeps movement smooth when panning across terrain or following moving heat sources.

The NocPix VISTA H50R 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 included with the VISTA H50R. This means you receive the battery required to operate the monocular plus a second interchangeable battery for extended sessions, rather than needing to purchase a spare battery 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 and interchangeable
Stated Runtime	Up to 5.5 hours per battery at 22°C

The removable battery design is particularly useful during longer observation sessions. When the battery fitted to the H50R is depleted, it can simply be exchanged for the second supplied IBP-7 instead of having to stop using the monocular while a fixed internal battery recharges.

NocPix's stated operating time is measured at 22°C. Actual runtime will vary according to temperature and the functions being used, including Wi-Fi, recording and other electronic features.

The VISTA H50R incorporates 64GB of internal storage for capturing thermal images and video directly through the monocular without requiring a separate memory card.

The VISTA platform also supports a microphone, allowing audio to accompany compatible video recordings. This is useful for documenting observations and adding spoken information while footage is being recorded.

The H50R and H50 share the same core thermal imaging specification. Both use a 640×512 12μm thermal sensor, ≤15mK NETD, 50mm F0.9 objective lens, 4–40× magnification, 8.8° × 7° field of view and a stated detection range of up to 2,600 metres.

The key difference is the integrated laser rangefinder.

VISTA H50R	Integrated Class 1 LRF with maximum ranging distance up to 1,200m
VISTA H50	No integrated laser rangefinder

Choose the H50R if you want to measure distance directly through the thermal monocular. Choose the H50 if you want the same core 50mm thermal performance but do not need integrated ranging.

The H50R and H35R both use a 640×512 sensor, ≤15mK thermal sensitivity and an integrated laser rangefinder. The main difference is the objective lens and the resulting balance between field of view and long-range performance.

VISTA H35R	35mm F0.9 | 3–28× | 12.5° × 10° FOV | 1,800m detection | 1,200m LRF
VISTA H50R	50mm F0.9 | 4–40× | 8.8° × 7° FOV | 2,600m detection | 1,200m LRF

Choose the H35R if you prioritise a wider field of view and easier scanning across woodland, hedgerows and closer-to-medium-distance environments.

Choose the H50R if you regularly observe across larger fields or open terrain and want greater base magnification and additional detection reach.

Choose the VISTA H35 if you want a wide 35mm field of view and do not require an integrated laser rangefinder.

Choose the VISTA H35R if you want wide-field 35mm scanning together with integrated laser ranging.

Choose the VISTA H50 if you want the longer-range 50mm platform but do not need an integrated LRF.

Choose the VISTA H50R if you want the longer-range 50mm platform together with integrated 1,200m laser ranging.

Choose the VISTA S50R if you want the flagship VISTA with its substantially higher-resolution 1280×1024 thermal detector and integrated rangefinder.

• VISTA carry bag
• Neck strap
• Data cable
