DNT Optics HYDRA 3-12x Multi-Function Thermal Scope/Spotter
AI-Enhanced Clarity, Ultra-Light Versatility
The DNT HYDRA HS225 is a cutting-edge thermal optic that can function as both a scope and a handheld spotter. Designed for shooters, hunters, and professionals who demand high performance in a compact package, the HYDRA combines a high-end <25mk NETD thermal sensor with DNT’s proprietary Super Resolution Image Algorithm for exceptional clarity—even at higher digital zoom levels where other thermals lose definition.
At its core is a 12μm uncooled infrared sensor delivering 256×192 resolution at 50Hz, paired with a crisp 1024×768 Micro-OLED display. The result is smooth, high-contrast thermal imaging in a wide range of conditions. Picture-in-Picture mode provides precise target detail without losing your wider field of view.
Weighing just 372g, the HYDRA is ultra-light, IP67 waterproof, and recoil-rated up to .50 BMG—making it ready for everything from demanding field work to rugged outdoor pursuits. Powered by a replaceable 18650 battery, you get up to 5.5 hours of runtime, with USB-C external power support for extended sessions.
