DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
The Sidewinder™ is our premium handheld observational thermal monocular series. All models come equipped with either a 384×288 or 640×512 twelve micron infrared detector and a 1024×768 OLED display, for improved color rendering. The Sidewinder thermal sensors also come equipped with the most sensitive temperature ratings in its class, coming in at sub-20
millikelvin across the entire product family. Other improvements over the Taipan monoculars include a more robust body/housing and a removable, rechargeable 18650 battery. These units also boast an impressive waterproof rating, which ensures users have peace of mind while utilizing these under the vast majority of weather conditions.
The Sidewinders built-in 64 GB memory also sits at the top of its class on the market, with advanced software supporting both video recording and image capturing. The primary uses for these thermal monoculars include, but are not limited to: hunting, law enforcement, search-and-rescue, personal security,
conservation, anti-poaching, camping, hiking and different marine applications.

AGM positions the Sidewinder as its top handheld line, and the specs back that up: a sub-20 mK sensor, 1024x768 OLED, 64 GB of memory and a 5-year warranty. It is a monocular, not a rifle scope, so it is built for scanning and spotting rather than mounting on a rifle.
For night hunting, a monocular is often the first thermal worth buying. You can scan for coyotes or hogs without swinging a rifle around, follow a blood trail after the shot, and check a field before you walk in. The Sidewinder's replaceable 18650 lets you keep a charged spare in your pocket.
