ATN OTS-XLT 160 2.5-10x

• 2.5-10x digital magnification: The wide zoom range lets the monocular cover both scanning and closer target assessment, so it works for short-range observation as well as checking heat signatures at longer distances.
• 160x120 thermal sensor with 17 μm pixel pitch: This sensor format keeps the unit simple and efficient while still giving clear thermal contrast for spotting people, animals, and other heat sources in darkness, brush, or poor weather.
• 850 m detection range: Long detection capability helps users pick up heat sources well before they are close, which is useful for field observation, property monitoring, and general outdoor use.
• 720x540 display with video and image capture: The onboard display presents a clear viewing image, while recording and photo functions make it easier to document sightings or review what was seen after the observation session.
• Compact 370 g housing with up to 10 hours of battery life: Low weight and long runtime make the OTS-XLT easier to carry for extended periods without adding much bulk to a pack or kit.

About the ATN OTS-XLT Series

The ATN OTS-XLT series is a line of handheld thermal monoculars built for users who want practical thermal observation in a compact format. Within ATN’s thermal range, the series sits as a lighter and more straightforward option than larger, more feature-heavy devices, focusing on portability, ease of use, and dependable heat detection for outdoor observation. It is suited to activities such as hunting support, patrol work, search tasks, travel, and general night-time field use.

A defining part of the series is the ATN Obsidian Core LT platform, paired with a 50 Hz uncooled thermal sensor and a compact handheld body. The OTS-XLT models combine digital magnification, multiple color modes, onboard recording, and USB-C charging in a format that remains easy to carry in one hand or a jacket pocket. Across the series, the emphasis is on thermal detection rather than daytime optical detail, giving users a fast way to locate living targets, vehicles, or other heat-emitting objects in darkness, haze, or visually cluttered terrain.

About the ATN OTS-XLT 160 2.5-10x

The ATN OTS-XLT 160 2.5-10x is the longer-reaching version in this compact thermal monocular family, combining a 25 mm objective lens with 2.5-10x magnification for users who need more reach than a close-range scanner. That setup makes it well suited to open ground, field edges, property observation, and general thermal spotting where early detection matters more than fine daytime-style image detail. With a stated 850 m detection range, it is designed to reveal heat signatures at substantial distance, helping the user identify where activity is happening before moving closer.

The monocular uses a 160x120 uncooled sensor with 17 μm pixel pitch and a 50 Hz refresh rate. In practice, this gives a fluid viewing image when panning and enough thermal contrast to separate warm targets from cooler backgrounds. The 720x540 display supports comfortable handheld viewing, while onboard photo capture and video recording add practical value for documenting observations. ATN also equips the unit with internal storage and USB-C charging through its external power connection, which supports extended use in the field.

At 174 mm long and 370 g in weight, the OTS-XLT 160 2.5-10x remains easy to carry for long sessions. Its waterproof and fogproof construction, along with an operating range of -20°C to 55°C, makes it suitable for varied weather and seasonal use. The result is a thermal monocular that prioritizes mobility, straightforward operation, and useful detection range over unnecessary bulk.

About ATN

ATN was founded in 1995 in Silicon Valley, California, and it has grown into a specialist maker of night-vision, thermal-imaging, and digital day-and-night optics. The company is headquartered in Doral, Florida and focuses on electronic optics rather than conventional glass-only sporting optics. Its product range covers thermal devices, digital night vision, and traditional image-intensifier systems, giving ATN a broad presence across observation and shooting-oriented electro-optics.

ATN is particularly known for developing digital platforms that combine imaging, onboard electronics, and recording functions in field-ready products. Its lineup has included 4K Smart HD systems for day-and-night use, and the company introduced the Obsidian 4 Dual Core platform in 2018. That background is relevant to the OTS-XLT series, which reflects ATN’s emphasis on compact thermal devices that integrate viewing, digital processing, and recording in a practical handheld format.
