The Nocpix Lumi L19 (also marketed as the LL19) is an ultra-compact, lightweight entry-level thermal monocular designed specifically for wildlife observation and hunting at short to medium ranges. It stands out for featuring a 384×288 pixel sensor with extreme thermal sensitivity (NETD ≤18 mK), enabling the definition of highly detailed thermal contrasts even in adverse weather conditions such as fog or heavy rain.
Key Technical Specifications
- Thermal Performance: 384x288 px sensor (12 µm pixel). Its NETD sensitivity of ≤18 mK is among the best in its class.
- Optics: 19mm objective lens with an F0.9 aperture, capturing 20% more light than standard F1.0 lenses and delivering a much brighter image.
- Display: High-resolution AMOLED display, 1024×768 pixels.
- Magnification: 2x optical base and variable digital zoom up to 8x (2x/4x/8x).
- Field of View: 13.8° × 10.4° (equivalent to a wide span of 24 meters at a distance of 100 meters).
- Detection Range: Capable of detecting heat sources up to a maximum of 980 meters.
Key Features and Usability
- Reality+ AI Algorithm: Uses advanced, AI-assisted digital image processing that reduces visual noise and smooths the edges of animals.
- Pocket-Sized Design: Weighing just 335 grams and measuring 13.9 cm in length, it is smaller than most modern smartphones—ideal for long tracking hikes.
