RUBICON R2 - Compact Thermal Sight

13mm F1.0 germanium objective

TrueHeat™ · Thermal core

See through foliage,
in the dark,
see them first

A 256×192 / 12µm uncooled core with sub-25 mK sensitivity picks up the faint thermal difference between a living thing and the ground it stands on. In pitch black, through smoke, across a treeline. No IR illuminator, no moonlight, nothing to give you away.

Questions

Good to know

Yes. Thermal imaging detects emitted heat, not reflected light, so the R2 sees in complete darkness with no moonlight, no IR illuminator and nothing to reveal your position. It also cuts through smoke, fog and light foliage.

No separate optic to mount or co-witness. The R2 draws the reticle on the thermal screen itself: a red, blue or white dot in three sizes. You zero it to your setup. Airsoft players zero it to their existing red dot for accurate hits past 20 m; hunters zero to point of impact. Sleep/wake keeps it live without a slow boot.

About 5 hours of continuous use on a single rechargeable CR2. Recharge over USB-C, or swap in a fresh CR2 to keep going. SwiftSync™ standby stretches real-world runtime well beyond continuous-on figures.

Rated IP66: fully sealed against dust and protected against powerful water jets and driving rain. It is built for rain, mud and dew, with a 1000 g recoil rating.
