Apex Thermal Monocular 35mm

Description

The Alpen Optics Apex Thermal Monocular 35mm is a high-performance thermal imaging device built for hunters, wildlife observers, and outdoor professionals who demand clarity in any condition. Featuring a 384x288 thermal imaging sensor with a NETD of less than 40 mK, this monocular detects heat signatures out to an impressive 1,300 meters - cutting through rain, fog, and total darkness with ease. The vivid HD AMOLED display renders thermal images in sharp, colorful detail, while Clear+ technology further refines image quality for a more detailed picture.

Starting at 2x magnification with digital zoom up to 8x, the Apex 35mm gives you the flexibility to scan wide areas or zero in on distant targets. With 16 GB of internal memory, built-in WiFi for live streaming, and a rugged IPX 6 waterproof rating, this is a monocular ready for the field - whether you're tracking game, conducting search and rescue, or keeping watch over property and wildlife.

FAQ

Can the Apex Thermal Monocular 35mm be used during the day as well as at night?

Yes - thermal monoculars detect heat rather than visible light, so the Apex 35mm works effectively 24 hours a day regardless of ambient lighting. It is equally useful at midday as it is in complete darkness, though it is especially valued for low-light and nighttime use when conventional optics fall short.

How does the WiFi function work, and what can I do with the app?

The built-in WiFi allows you to connect the monocular to the Alpen Optics companion app on your Apple or Android device. From the app, you can view a live stream of what the monocular sees, remotely capture photos and video, and manage your recordings. This is ideal for sharing footage in the field or for using a smartphone or tablet as a secondary display.

What is the difference between the 35mm and 54mm versions?

The 35mm model is more compact and lightweight, making it a great all-around field monocular for hunting and general outdoor use at a lower price point. The 54mm model features a larger objective lens, which gathers more thermal energy and provides an extended detection range with finer detail at longer distances - better suited for open terrain, long-range surveillance, or demanding search and rescue scenarios.

How long does the battery last, and can I carry spares?

The Apex 35mm uses Alpen Optics' exclusive APP-3500 battery packs, and two are included with the monocular. The device also features a power-saving mode to extend runtime during extended field sessions. Because the batteries are exchangeable, you can swap to a fresh pack in the field without any tools - a key advantage during long hunts or overnight operations.

Is this monocular waterproof enough for hunting in wet weather?

Yes. The Apex Thermal Monocular 35mm carries an IPX 6 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets from any direction. This makes it well-suited for hunting in heavy rain or wet brush. However, it is not rated for full submersion, so avoid dropping it in water.

Does it come with a case or carrying accessories?

Yes. Included in the box is a carrying bag made from extremely durable 900D sail fabric with a storage compartment, as well as a hand strap for secure one-handed use in the field.
