Going hunting at night is a special challenge, as your vital sense of sight is severely impaired and the risk of not being successful or even making a wrong decision is high. The DTI 3 GEN 2 family of thermal imaging cameras are specifically designed for active hunter. Its large field of view combined with a long range makes it the perfect combination product for raised hide hunting and stalking in forested areas – and therefore also the ideal choice for all-rounders who like to take advantage of all the possibilities in their hunting ground.
Whether for observing and tracking or to more quickly and accurately identify game, this high-quality thermal imaging system ensures that hunters can precisely recognize details even at distances of more than 1,300 meters. As a result, the ZEISS DTI 3/35 GEN 2 gives hunters a considerable advantage when stalking at night or when hunting over long distances from a raised hide in a field.
New, more powerful hardware enables improved image quality and pushes the boundaries of 384 x 288 sensors even further. The new 1,024 x 786 AMOLED display improves contrast and color reproduction for a more detailed image with less background noise and sharper edges.
When out hunting, the nearest power source is often far away. You usually need a portable charger to make sure they don’t run out of power – which means extra weight and equipment to keep in mind. With an impressively long battery life of 8 hours, the DTI 3 GEN 2 models will hold enough charge for two to four hunts. Extend the battery life even further by activating the smart standby function.
Different environmental situations require a different device setting. The DTI 3 GEN 2 has three pre-programmed observation modes: universal, detect and fog. Discover mode, for example, highlights heat sources even more while reducing the cold background. This allows you to see animals behind trees and bushes better than before.
The Movement Alert tracks the hottest heat source in the image and notifies the hunter when that heat source moves. The LED on the top of the unit will start flashing or optionally the display will turn on. It is thus possible to monitor a large area without holding the camera all the time.
Hunting can be a very individual activity. When it comes to thermal imaging cameras, every hunter has their own personal preferences. Therefore, the new DTI's now offer the ability to select which color modes are active and which are not., so you only must click through the ones you want to use. The same applies to the zoom level settings. Now you can limit the maximum zoom level to your liking.
