Frequently Asked Questions

What is a thermal monocular?

A thermal monocular is a handheld optical device that uses infrared (thermal) imaging technology to detect heat (infrared radiation) emitted by objects, animals, or people. Unlike night vision, which amplifies visible light, thermal monoculars work in complete darkness and through smoke, fog, or light foliage by displaying temperature differences as images—warmer objects appear brighter than cooler ones. They're commonly used in hunting, search and rescue, surveillance, wildlife observation, and security. The "monocular" part means it’s designed for one eye, making it compact and easy to use.

Can you use a thermal monocular for hunting?

Allowed use of thermal monoculars varies from state to state. In Victoria, on public land, only hand-held devices are permitted for use between 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset. Other rules apply too. Make sure you check the laws applicable to your specific state before purchasing.

What is the best thermal monocular for hunting?

It is important to keep in mind, that there is no one size fits all when it comes to best thermal monoculars. A $5,000 pair of thermal monoculars with a high end thermal sensor (but high starting base mag and narrow FOV) may not suit someone who is hunting in the environments with high shrub density. Instead, you might require a thermal monocular with a lower starting base mage and wider FOV. These are just some of the considerations that need to be made before deciding which thermal monoculars is best for you. If you're after a recommendation, feel free to contact us for a obligation free chat to discuss what is best for you!

What is the best thermal monocular for the money?

In our opinion, the Guide TE421 Thermal Monocular offers the best value for money currently on the market. It features a 400x300px resolution thermal sensor, providing clear identification of heat signatures up to 325 meters—ideal for most hunters, unless you're targeting long-range shots. Its 1.9x base magnification is also a favorite among hunters needing a lower starting zoom and wider field of view, particularly in dense, shrub-heavy environments.
