Guide TJ660LZS Dual-Focus Thermal Imaging Monocular
640×512 @ 12µm | Dual-Focus System | Laser Rangefinder
+CAD 5,099.00
The Guide TJ660LZS adds a major advantage: dual-focus optical flexibility . Instead of being limited to one field of view, this model is designed for users who need both wider-area scanning and more detailed long-distance observation in one device.
With a 640×512 thermal sensor , 12µm detector , and integrated laser rangefinder, the TJ660LZS is ideal for users who move between different observation distances. It is particularly useful when the task requires both quick detection across a broader area and closer inspection of distant heat signatures.
Guide’s TJ LRF Zoom platform is described as using a dual-field-of-view lens design for switching between broader search and more detailed viewing.
Best For:
Users who want more viewing flexibility than a standard fixed-lens thermal monocular, especially for changing field conditions.
Guide TJ1250LS Handheld Thermal Imaging Monocular
1280×1024 @ 12µm | 50mm Lens | Laser Rangefinder
+CAD 8,269.00
The Guide TJ1250LS is the premium high-resolution model in the current lineup. With a large 1280×1024 thermal sensor , it delivers significantly higher image detail than standard 640-class thermal monoculars, making it suitable for users who need the clearest possible thermal image for professional observation.
The 1280-resolution sensor provides more detail, better image structure, and improved viewing quality when observing at distance or using digital zoom. Combined with a 50mm lens and integrated laser rangefinder, the TJ1250LS is designed for demanding users who need maximum thermal detail in the field.
Best For:
Professional users, agencies, researchers, and advanced field observers who require premium image resolution and long-range thermal performance.
Choosing the Right Model
For most professional users, the TJ650LS offers the best balance of price, image quality, and long-range thermal performance.
For users who need more flexibility between wide-area scanning and longer-distance detail, the TJ660LZS Dual-Focus model is the better choice.
For users who want the highest image detail available in this lineup, the TJ1250LS provides a premium 1280×1024 thermal sensor and is the strongest option for demanding professional observation.
