Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Nocpix Vista S50R a good thermal monocular?
It is the high-resolution model of the Vista line, and that sensor is the reason to buy it. The 1280x1024 resolution, 15mK sensitivity and fast f/0.9 lens add up to a cleaner picture at distance, and the built-in rangefinder means one less device in your pocket on a long night.
Can you use a thermal monocular while deer hunting?
In many states you can use one to scout or to find a deer after the shot, but the rules differ. Some states ban thermal devices during deer season or at night, even for spotting. Check your state regulations first. Where it is allowed, the S50R's 1280 sensor makes a bedded deer easier to pick out of cover.
What's the best magnification for a monocular?
For scanning, low base magnification works better because you see more ground at once. The S50R starts at 2x native, which keeps the field wide, and its 8x digital zoom gives you a closer look once you find heat. High magnification on a handheld also shows every shake, which is why this unit adds electronic stabilization.
Are thermal monoculars worth it?
If you hunt predators or hogs at night, most hunters find they are. A thermal monocular lets you scan without swinging your rifle around, it picks up heat in total darkness, and with a rangefinder like the one on the S50R you get distance too.
