The new Leica Calonox 2 View LRF thermal camera is a genuine benchmark in terms of design and function. Designed and made in Germany, the Leica Calonox 2 View LRF wins users over with the world’s first fully-integrated laser rangefinder (LRF) for up to 1200 meters – a clear focus on safe and ethical hunting.
Hunters and nature observers can count on natural, sharp, high-contrast images, thanks to the high-quality LYNRED sensor and the processing software that’s been further refined by Leica (LIO™ – Leica Image Optimization). With a sampling frequency of 60 Hertz, panning the device results in a smooth image. Likewise, video recordings of moving objects are possible without annoying interruptions.
Four eyes see more than two: With the Leica 2Hunt app, a wireless connection can be established between the thermal camera and a smartphone or tablet. In addition to controlling the photo/video function, the Live View function allows a second person to simultaneously follow what the observer sees through the Leica Calonox 2 View LRF when hunting or monitoring wildlife (e.g. counting rabbits or birds) or when searching for missing persons. The second person can thus offer extra support, day or night.
Featuring a high-quality sensor from LYNRED, the Leica Calonox 2 View LRF is state-of-the-art for hunters and nature observers. The sensor has a size of 640x480 pixels and a pixel pitch of 12 µm. This guarantees a sharp image, rich in contrast and detail. What’s more, Leica thermal cameras feature a software-based shutter. This enables silent and instantaneous recalibration – without freezing the image.
The generous micro OLED display (1280 x 960 pixels) offers brilliant image sharpness and outstanding imaging performance. Pixel binning ensures pleasant, distortion-free observation, thanks to improved light capture with less image noise. The 42-mm lens with its large field of view ensures optimum viewing comfort, an excellent overview of the surroundings, and rapid target acquisition.
With the 2.5x basic optical magnification and up to 4x digital zoom, objects with the standard size of 1.8 meters can be clearly found at up to 2210 meters. Recognition is possible at 770 meters and reliable identification at 390 meters.
To complement the new Calonox 2, the Leica 2Hunt app in the typical Leica design is now available free of charge for smartphones and tablets. Thermal camera and mobile device are quickly and easily linked via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Next, various camera settings can be easily controlled and adjusted directly in the app. Images and videos captured by the device can be viewed and downloaded via app, as well. With the launch of the Calonox 2 View devices, the first update adds a Live View function that makes it possible to share images with friends and other devices, start and stop video recording, and capture images – all on a mobile device, using the app.
