The Pixfra Cetus C650 50mm is a high-end 2-in-1 thermal device that functions both as a handheld monocular and as a riflescope that attaches directly to the rifle via a quick-release system, requiring no additional adapters. As the flagship model of the Cetus series, it stands out for featuring a powerful 50mm lens paired with a high-resolution 640×512 pixel sensor, specifically designed for target detection and identification at very long ranges.
Key Technical Specifications
- Premium thermal sensor: 640 × 512-pixel VOx technology with a 12 μm pixel pitch.
- Extreme thermal sensitivity (NETD): Less than 15 mK (f/1.0), enabling the detection of minute temperature differences and the identification of clear anatomical features, even in heavy rain or thick fog.
- Long-range optics: 50mm F1.0 lens with 3.6x base magnification and digital zoom scaling from 1x to 8x.
- Detection capability: Range of up to 2,600 meters.
- High-definition display: 0.5-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 1600 × 1200 pixels.
- Field of view (FOV): 15.4 meters wide at a distance of 100 meters (8.8° horizontal / 7.0° vertical).
Key Features and Functions
- PIPS 3.0 image processing: Incorporates AI-assisted algorithms that automatically optimize contrast, reduce visual noise, and define contours.
- Swappable battery: It runs on a standard 18650 battery that offers up to 4.5 hours of continuous runtime. Its quick-release cap allows for a rapid swap with a charged battery, even in total darkness.
- Recoil-Activated Recording (RAR): Upon detecting a shot, it automatically records video with audio, saving the seconds before and after the shot to its 64 GB of internal memory.
- Structural durability: Magnesium alloy body with IP67 certification (fully waterproof and dustproof). Withstands heavy recoil of up to 1000g/0.4ms (compatibility tested with demanding calibers such as .375 H&H or 12-gauge).
- Smart zeroing: Using the Pixfra mobile app, you can wirelessly manage up to five different zeroing profiles and rename them according to the rifle being used.
