Leica CALONOX Sight and CALONOX View

The top-quality thermal camera for ethical hunting

For the first time, Leica Sport Optics (Wetzlar, Germany) presents a thermal camera designed especially for ethical hunting: the Leica Calonox. At market launch, the Leica Calonox will be offered in two versions: as an observation instrument – Leica Calonox View – and as a thermal imaging clip-on to mount on a riflescope – Leica Calonox Sight.

Leica Camera has long been known for manufacturing digital cameras to the highest standards. Unlike conventional digital cameras, thermal cameras record infrared radiation, which cannot be perceived by the human eye, as a visible image. 

The two new Leica Calonox thermal cameras are optimized for their respective applications and deliver outstanding, Leica-typical image quality with particularly detailed gray tones, excellent contrast, and high detail resolution at all observation distances. 

The permanently installed rechargeable battery is especially well-protected against cold and moisture by its position inside the Calonox devices. The unique product design caters to hunting needs and integrates perfectly into the hunter’s equipment due to its cylindrical shape and ease of use – whether mounted or hand-held. Operation with only three buttons is intuitive, user-friendly, and reduced to the essentials. Both models feature a 42-mm lens with large field of view. 

Leica Calonox Sight 

The Leica Calonox Sight thermal imaging clip-on, optimized for use with a conventional riflescope, is equipped with 1x magnification. Thanks to its solid and robust construction, the Calonox Sight offers a particularly precise, repeatable point of impact. 

The horizontal field of view of 15.5 at 100 meters provides a great overview, while the 384 x 288 px sensor in combination with the high-resolution OLED display and Leica’s own image processing (Leica Image Optimization - LIO™) ensures a detailed image. High-quality adapters for mounting on a riflescope are available in all common lens sizes. 

Leica Calonox View 

The superior detection range of the Leica Calonox View is based on a high-end vanadium oxide sensor with 640 × 512 pixels, 12 μm pixel size, and excellent temperature resolution. The 2.5x basic optical magnification provides a large field of view, making it also ideal for observations in the immediate vicinity. 

Up to 10x digital zoom, in combination with the outstanding 1280 × 960 px LCOS display and Leica’s own image processing (Leica Image Optimization - LIO™), ensures that no details remain hidden, even at great distances. 

Both models are now available.
