Combining standalone, clip-on, and handheld capability into a single platform, the S2 Mini offers an accessible entry into thermal optics without sacrificing performance. Compact by design and built for real-world use, it delivers dependable thermal clarity in a streamlined form factor. Designed for versatility and ease of use, the S2 Mini provides a balanced introduction to modern thermal observation.
Multi-Role Use
-
Handheld thermal monocular
Compact and lightweight, the S2 Mini functions as a handheld thermal monocular for quick scanning and situational awareness. Its balanced form factor and simple controls allow for comfortable use during extended observation.
-
Rifle-mounted thermal sight
When mounted on a Picatinny rail, the S2 Mini delivers stable thermal imagery with minimal added weight. The low-profile design preserves handling characteristics while maintaining clear, readable performance under recoil.
-
Pistol-mounted thermal sight
With its compact footprint and light weight, the S2 Mini integrates cleanly into pistol-mounted configurations. The reduced mass helps maintain balance while providing dependable thermal visibility in low-light conditions.
Why the S2 Mini Performs Differently
The S2 Mini is engineered for consistent thermal performance in real-world environments where lighting, movement, and conditions are unpredictable.
A <25 mK NETD thermal sensor enables clear separation between heat signatures, while a 256×192 resolution and 60Hz refresh rate maintain smooth, readable imagery during scanning and movement. Image stability is preserved under recoil, allowing the optic to remain usable across mounted configurations.
Housed in a rugged enclosure and rated for demanding use, the S2 Mini is designed to operate reliably without constant adjustment. Controls are intentionally straightforward, supporting quick operation whether used handheld or mounted on a platform.
The result is a compact thermal optic that prioritizes usable clarity, stability, and reliability in conditions where visibility is limited.
Performance
<25 mK NETD for superior thermal contrast
A low NETD rating allows the sensor to distinguish subtle temperature differences, resulting in clearer separation between objects and improved visibility in complex environments.
256×192 sensor with smooth 60Hz refresh rate
The 256×192 thermal sensor paired with a smooth 60Hz refresh rate delivers stable, readable imagery during movement, reducing blur while scanning or tracking.
Recoil-activated onboard recording
Automatic recording captures footage the moment recoil is detected, ensuring real-world use is documented without requiring manual input.
IP67-rated housing
The IP67 rating provides protection against dust, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions, supporting reliable operation in demanding outdoor use.
Real footage. No simulation.
The S2 Mini has a onboard recording system capable of photo and video with a optional recoil activated video function for you hunters out there.
Tier 1 Power in a Compact, Durable Package
At only 115 grams and matching the footprint of a red dot sight, the S2 Mini provides full thermal capability in a compact, lightweight package.
S2 Mini Specifications
Sensor & Image
The S2 Mini uses a 256×192 thermal sensor with <25 mK NETD sensitivity, allowing it to distinguish subtle temperature differences in complex scenes. This results in improved contrast, clearer separation between objects, and reduced visual noise in low-visibility environments.
A 60Hz refresh rate ensures smooth image output during movement and scanning, maintaining clarity without lag or motion blur.
Display
The integrated 1.5 inch display is optimized for thermal clarity and readability during extended use. Image rendering prioritizes contrast and edge definition, allowing heat signatures to remain distinct without oversharpening or artificial enhancement.
Display settings are designed to remain usable across varying lighting conditions and viewing scenarios.
Power & Battery
The S2 Mini is powered by rechargeable batteries(2x included) designed for stable output during continuous operation. Power management is optimized to balance performance and runtime without compromising image quality.
Charging is straightforward via the included Charger
Body
Weighing approximately 115 grams, the S2 Mini maintains a compact form factor comparable to a standard red dot sight. Its low-profile design allows it to integrate seamlessly into mounted configurations without adding unnecessary bulk.
The housing is engineered for durability while keeping overall weight to a minimum.
Environmental Resistance
The optic is built to operate reliably in demanding environments. Its IP67 rated construction is designed to withstand exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature variation commonly encountered during night observation.
Performance remains consistent across changing conditions without requiring frequent recalibration.
