Nocpix Debuts New Models

By now most dealers who sell thermal and night-vision optics are well aware of iRayUsa, distributors for InfiRay Outdoors products. Now, the company just added another arrow to its quiver—Nocpix.

“While the name, logo, and some of the features may be new, Nocpix is born out of years of research, development, and experience in building thermal optics for hunters and outdoorsmen,” says Pliny Gale, iRayUsa’s marketing and communications manager. “Our manufacturing and technology development comes from the world’s leading microbolometer (thermal sensor) fabricator. We’ve paired this strong history of success with a fresh look at the available options in the thermal industry. This brand represents a launch of next-generation thermal devices with a unified goal: to provide the best image quality and consistently positive user experience. This idea can be noticed throughout the product line—image quality and user experience come above all else. We support this mission through our research and development, field testing, and countless hours behind the lens.”

Gale notes the company’s commitment to creating the best-possible image not only requires the highest-quality components (thermal sensors, lenses, displays, etc.), but also the intentional programming and optimization of these pieces to achieve a powerful synergy. “We do this through several innovative technologies, all working together,” he says. “We thrive on the delicate balance of pushing complex technological boundaries while delivering products that intentionally feel simple and intuitive to use.”

The initial Nocpix launch consists of four products: ACE, LUMI, SLIM, and VISTA.
The ACE is built around the idea of combining leading user-requested features in a streamlined optic that balances advanced capability with ease of use in the field. Designed to feel like a traditional day optic, the ACE is compatible with bolt-action or semi-automatic rifles using standard 30mm mounts and rings. The combination of an internal USB-C charging battery and a removable 18650-style rechargeable battery allows users to hot-swap batteries in the field to run indefinitely. A 1-3X ocular magnifier provides optical magnification of the 2560×2560 round AMOLED display inside the eyepiece. The Vision+ system pairs this high-resolution display with a 15 mK
NETD sensor for an incredibly detailed and precise image. The 1,300-yard-capable laser rangefinder on the ACE is integrated directly into the 50mm germanium objective lens. In addition to streamlining the body design and reducing bulk, this allows for improved horizontal alignment of the infrared laser with the viewing system. SRP: $6,050.

LUMI brings the power of thermal observation devices to a compact and user-friendly form for hunters on the go. The all-new LUMI series of handheld thermal monoculars features a high-quality thermal sensor, available in 384x288 (L35) or 640x512 (H35), paired with a 1024x768 AMOLED display. Available models offer either a 2.5X base magnification (H35) for a wider field of view, or a 4X base magnification (L35) for identifying targets at greater distances.

An advanced Reality+ image-processing algorithm and a ≤18 mK NETD (thermal sensitivity) rating provide sharp, high-contrast images. Powering the LUMI is simple and affordable using common interchangeable 18650-style batteries. As a powerful tool for scouting and scanning, LUMI was designed to be as compact and ergonomic as possible while still offering impressive image detail and clarity. LUMI weighs 12 ounces and easily fits in the palm of the hand, a pocket, or the included MOLLE-compatible case. SRP: $1,900, L35; $2,450, H35.

The new SLIM series provides the best value and features in a compact optic. Focused on versatility and ease of use, SLIM models can be used as either a handheld monocular or a weapon sight. With the included proprietary quick-detach mounting system a hunter can quickly scan and then re-attach the optic to the rifle while maintaining zero. A magnesium alloy body and quiet, soft-touch buttons provide excellent ergonomics in both handheld and firearm-mounted configurations. The included IRB-2 batteries (flay-top 18650-style cell) are easy to swap–letting you stay out longer with the ability to charge through the optic using a magnetic cable. Generous eye relief and a 1024×768
AMOLED display provide a comfortable and highly detailed viewing and hunting experience. SRP: $2,450, L35; $3,300, H35.

The VISTA handheld thermal monocular features an advanced 50mm f/0.9 germanium objective lens, offering exceptional clarity and detail. Equipped with a high-resolution 640x512 thermal sensor and an impressive ≤15 mK NETD sensitivity rating, the lightweight and ergonomic monocular delivers crystal-clear images with remarkable detail and contrast, making it perfect for wildlife observation and security applications. The lens-integrated laser rangefinder enhances its functionality, boasting a maximum detection range of 1,200 yards with a remarkable sensitivity of ±1 yard. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling while the intuitive interface allows for
seamless operation. Perfect for long-range observation, the VISTA includes electronic image stabilization for a smooth, sharp image on the 2560×2560 round AMOLED display. Whether you’re scanning for coyotes or conducting night-time surveillance, this is your go-to tool for unparalleled thermal imaging performance. SRP: $3,850.

As a global brand, Nocpix provides premium thermal optics through partners around the world. In the United States, Nocpix optics are distributed and supported by iRayUSA in Lewisville, Texas. This support includes a powerful five-year warranty with a five-day turn around guarantee. (irayusa.com)
