Flir Breach PTQ136

• Compact thermal monocular: At 210.00 g and only 139.00 mm long, the Breach PTQ136 is easy to carry in a pocket, pouch, or helmet setup, making it practical for fast deployment when size and weight matter.
• 320x256 VOx thermal sensor: The uncooled 12.00 μm sensor detects heat rather than visible light, helping the monocular reveal people, animals, and objects in darkness, smoke, light fog, or visually cluttered surroundings.
• High-definition OLED display: The 1280x960 OLED screen presents a clear viewing image that makes thermal detail easier to interpret, reducing eye strain during scanning and improving target recognition.
• 60.00 Hz refresh rate: A fast refresh rate keeps motion looking smoother when tracking moving subjects or scanning from a vehicle or while walking, which helps maintain situational awareness.
• Onboard recording and compass: Built-in image capture, video recording, and a digital compass support documentation and orientation in the field, so observations can be saved and referenced later.

About the Flir Breach PTQ Series

The Flir Breach PTQ Series is a family of compact thermal monoculars built for users who need thermal awareness in a very small format. Within FLIR’s handheld thermal lineup, the Breach series sits as a lightweight, highly portable option for professional observation, patrol work, search tasks, and close- to mid-range detection where a full-size thermal device would be bulkier than necessary. Its design focuses on keeping the unit easy to carry while still delivering the core advantages of thermal imaging: seeing heat signatures regardless of ambient light.

A defining characteristic of the series is the use of a high-performance thermal core paired with a bright OLED display, giving the user a clear thermal image in a device that remains practical for handheld or helmet-mounted use. The wide field of view typical of this series favors rapid area scanning and movement through confined or complex environments over long-range magnified observation. Recording functions, multiple viewing palettes, and orientation aids such as a compass further position the Breach line as a field tool for users who need both observation and documentation. The result is a thermal monocular series that emphasizes mobility, fast situational awareness, and dependable operation in demanding outdoor conditions.

About the Flir Breach PTQ136

The Flir Breach PTQ136 is a 1.00 x thermal monocular designed for users who prioritize awareness, mobility, and fast target detection over magnified viewing. Its 320x256 VOx uncooled sensor with a 12.00 μm pixel pitch is tuned for compact performance, helping the device pick up heat signatures out to a stated 335.00 m detection range. In practice, that makes the PTQ136 well suited to scanning tree lines, checking open ground, navigating in darkness, or identifying heat sources around structures and vehicles.

The wide 24.00 ° field of view is one of this model’s most useful traits. Rather than narrowing the image with optical magnification, the PTQ136 gives the user a broad thermal picture that is easier to interpret when moving, searching, or working at shorter distances. The 1280x960 OLED display supports this role by presenting the thermal image with good apparent clarity, while the 60.00 Hz refresh rate helps motion appear smoother during panning and tracking.

Practical field features are a major part of this model’s appeal. The Breach PTQ136 records both still images and video, includes video output, and integrates a compass for orientation. Its compact housing, 210.00 g weight, nitrogen-filled construction, and waterproof and fogproof build make it easier to carry and use in changing weather. Powered by a CR123A battery and equipped with central diopter adjustment, it is configured for quick deployment as a handheld thermal imaging monocular in professional or outdoor observation roles.

About Flir

FLIR Systems was established in 1978 to develop infrared thermal imaging systems for airborne applications, and that origin still shapes the company’s strong focus on thermal technology. FLIR specializes in thermal imaging and other sensing systems for commercial, industrial, and government use, giving the brand broad experience across both professional field equipment and advanced detection systems. The company was headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, United States, and over time it expanded its thermal expertise through acquisitions including Agema of Sweden in 1998 and Inframetrics in 1999. In 2021, Teledyne Technologies acquired FLIR, bringing the brand into a larger technology group while preserving its established role in thermal and sensing equipment. In products such as the Breach series, FLIR’s background is reflected in practical thermal monoculars built around heat detection, compact form factors, and field-oriented usability.
