Know before you buy
It is designed to be versatile and functions perfectly as both a weapon-mounted scope and a handheld thermal monocular. This makes it a great choice if you want a single device for both spotting and shooting.
The 25mm objective lens is specifically optimized for short-range shooting. While it provides a clear, wide field of view for close-to-mid-range targets, it is not intended for long-range precision work.
Yes, the unit is built to be waterproof, shockproof, and fogproof. It is engineered for 24-hour operation, meaning it will maintain a clear image through environmental obstacles like fog, smoke, and dust.
On standard CR123 batteries, you can expect up to 4.5 hours of continuous operation. If you need more time, the device is compatible with external power banks, which is a recommended setup for longer sessions.
The Rattler features 16GB of onboard storage for your media. You can manage and transfer your files by connecting the device to a computer or using the integrated Wi-Fi to stream and save content directly to your mobile device.
Picture-in-Picture mode displays a magnified view of your target in a small window at the top of the screen while keeping the rest of your field of view at the base magnification. This allows you to maintain situational awareness while taking a precise, zoomed-in shot.
