Perfect for night walks, wildlife spotting, or tactical simulations where you want to remain unnoticed.

Our opinion of this thermal imaging monocular

The Shogun team is impressed by the price-performance ratio of this Lynx LC06S. Weighing only 250 grams, this monocular feels surprisingly light in the hand, while the image quality is genuinely good for this price range. The operation via the four buttons on the top feels intuitive, and the fact that you can livestream directly to your phone makes this device extra versatile.

Technology and optical performance

The heart of this thermal imaging monocular is the thermal sensor with a resolution of 160 x 120 pixels at 50Hz. This means a smooth image without delay, even with moving objects. The 6mm lens has a fixed focus and a 17 micron pixel pitch, ensuring sharp images at short to medium range. The digital zoom ranges from 1x to 4x, allowing you to magnify details without the image becoming too grainy.

The internal rechargeable battery is easily charged via USB-C, meaning you do not need to carry spare batteries. The compact plastic design with dimensions of 158.3 x 61 x 57mm fits easily in your jacket pocket or backpack.

Mounting and compatibility

This thermal imaging monocular is supplied without a mounting rail, meaning you use it as a handheld observation monocular. This makes the Lynx LC06S ideal for those who want to quickly switch between different observation points without having to detach a mount first. The absence of rails keeps the weight low and makes the monocular universally deployable – simply pick it up whenever you need it.
