The Rix Optics Pocket K3 Thermal Imaging Monocular (Rix Optics part no. POCKETK3) is a compact, handheld thermal viewing device built around an uncooled VOX sensor with 384×288 resolution and 12-micron pixel pitch, giving a detection range up to 780 meters and roughly 853 yards on a person-sized target. A 15mm objective lens with 2x optical zoom and 1x/2x/4x digital zoom lets a user scan wide or narrow in on a heat signature, and the 800×600 OLED display keeps the image sharp in a device small enough to carry in a pocket. Built-in Wi-Fi and an 8GB memory buffer support video and photo capture at 800×600 resolution, and an IP67 rating means the housing shrugs off dust and a dunking without concern. Powered by a rechargeable 18650 battery good for roughly 6 hours of runtime, it’s suited for hog hunting, property scouting, and search work in low light or full darkness.
