Armasight has just unveiled a brand-new, handheld mini-thermal monocular, the Armasight Sidekick 640 Thermal Monocular. 

The Armasight Sidekick 640 is a compact, but full-featured, multi-functional 12 micron 640 thermal imaging monocular device. It only weighs 348 grams and makes use of Aramsight’s Iron Wolf thermal technology and a very fast 60 Hz frame rate. This compact handheld device presents a 1024 x 768 pixel OLED resolution display to the viewer and works off of a three-button control scheme. Owing to its small size, the handheld Sidekick 640 can also be mounted to a headset or helmet via its integral mini rail.

This feature-rich Armasight product has the ability to capture images, record video, stream videos and talk to other tech gadgets and computers via its USB-C interface. Likewise, users can stream content captured on the Sidekick 640 through their computer monitors or television sets.

Armasight Sidekick 640 Features:

  • Multiple color palettes
  • Intuitive three-button control
  • Dovetail mini-rail included for helmet mounting
  • Image detail enhancement 
  • Works with Rayvn Rail Bridge mount for helmet mounting with PVS-14, MNVD, or second Sidekick (sold separately)
  • Video recording & image capture
  • USB-C interface for external devices
  • Works with external power banks via USB-C
  • Compass
  • ULTEM composite body and ergonomic design
  • Designed and assembled in the United States from domestic and global components

Package Includes

  • Sidekick 640 Mini Thermal Monocular
  • Two CR123A batteries
  • USB-C cable
  • Lens cloth
  • Soft case
  • Product manual

The Armasight Sidekick 640 Mini Thermal Monocular has a starting retail price of $3,299.
