Leica Sport Optics (Wetzlar) is presenting for the first time a thermal imaging device especially for hunters: the Leica Calonox. For market launch in November 2020 the Leica Calonox will be available in two versions: As a pure observation device - Leica Calonox "View" - and as a clip-on device for mounting in conjunction on a riflescope - Leica Calonox "Sight".

Leica Camera has been known for many years as a manufacturer of digital cameras for the highest demands. In contrast to conventional digital cameras, thermal imaging cameras record infrared radiation, which is not visible to the human eye, as a thermal image.

The two new Leica Calonox thermal imaging cameras have been optimized for their respective applications and feature outstanding Leica typical image quality with particularly detailed gray tones, outstanding contrast and high detail resolution at all observation distances.

The permanently installed rechargeable battery is particularly well protected against cold and weather influences by its positioning inside the Calonox devices. The unique product design is oriented towards the needs of the hunter and integrates perfectly into the hunter's equipment due to its cylindrical shape and ease of use - whether mounted or hand-held. Operation with only three buttons is intuitive, user-friendly and reduced to the essentials. Both models feature a fast 42 mm lens with a large field of view.

Leica Calonox „Sight“

The Leica Calonox "Sight" clip-on device is optimized for use in conjunction with a conventional riflescope and is therefore equipped with 1x magnification. Due to the fixed construction of the complete system, the Calonox "Sight" is consistently accurate.

The horizontal field of view from 15.5 to 100 meters provides a great overview, while the 384x288 pixel sensor in combination with the high-resolution OLED display and Leica's own image processing (Leica Image Optimization - LIO™) ensures a detailed image. High-quality adapters for mounting on a riflescope are available for all common lens sizes at specialized trade.

Leica Calonox „View“

The outstanding detection range of the Leica Calonox "View" is based on a high-end vanadium oxide sensor with 640x512 pixels and 12µm pixel size at excellent temperature resolution. The 2.5x basic optical magnification provides a large field of view and is therefore ideal for observations in the immediate vicinity also.

Using digital zoom up to 10x magnification in combination with the outstanding HD display with 1280x960 pixels and Leica's own image processing (Leica Image Optimization - LIO™), no details remain hidden even at great distances.

Both models are available from November on.
