ThermTec Ares 360L 2.0

• Dual field of view system: The switchable 20 mm/60 mm lens setup lets the scope move from a wide search view to a tighter aiming view, so it works both for scanning ground quickly and for identifying animals more precisely before the shot.
• Integrated laser rangefinder and ballistic calculation: The built-in 1000 m rangefinder with ballistic support reduces guesswork at changing distances, helping the shooter make faster hold or correction decisions in the field.
• 384x288 thermal sensor with ≤20 mK sensitivity: The combination of 12.00 μm pixel pitch and low NETD improves separation between target and background, which matters when animals blend into vegetation, damp ground, or shifting night temperatures.
• Long operating time with dual-battery design: With up to 18 h battery life and support for replaceable and built-in power, the scope is better suited to extended hunts where charging opportunities are limited.
• Tube-style housing with 30 mm ring mounting: The traditional riflescope form makes the Ares 360L 2.0 easier to mount on familiar hunting rifle setups while still adding thermal imaging, recording, WiFi connectivity, and onboard storage.

About the ThermTec Ares 2.0 Series

ThermTec Ares 2.0 is a current family of thermal imaging sights introduced on September 10, 2024 for users who need a conventional riflescope format with modern thermal capability. In ThermTec’s lineup, the series sits as a dedicated sighting platform for observation and night hunting, with both standard and LRF-equipped versions to suit different shooting styles. The range includes eight models, covering fixed-lens configurations as well as dual-field-of-view versions for users who want more flexibility across short and long distances.

A defining characteristic of the series is its use of 12 μm uncooled thermal detectors combined with AI-assisted image calibration, intended to keep the image stable as weather, terrain, and ambient temperature change. The lineup also separates clearly by purpose: standard Ares 2.0 models focus on thermal observation and aiming simplicity, while Ares LRF 2.0 models add an integrated laser rangefinder and ballistic calculation for more deliberate shot placement. Across the family, the emphasis is on a practical tube-style design, thermal clarity suited to field use, and model choices that let hunters prioritize either compact fixed-lens handling or the added versatility of dual 20 mm/60 mm fields of view.

About the ThermTec Ares 360L 2.0

ThermTec Ares 360L 2.0 is the dual-field-of-view, rangefinding version in the 384-class Ares 2.0 lineup, built for hunters who need one thermal riflescope to cover both searching and shot execution. Its standout feature is the 20 mm/60 mm dual FOV optical system, which changes how the scope is used in practice: the wider view helps cover more ground and pick up movement faster, while the narrower, higher-magnification view gives a more deliberate sight picture for target confirmation and aiming at longer distances. With 1.80 x to 5.50 x magnification and a stated 3000.00 m detection range, it is configured for mixed terrain where engagement distances can change quickly.

The thermal core uses a 384x288 VOx uncooled sensor with 12.00 μm pixel pitch, 20.00 mK NETD, and a 50.00 Hz refresh rate. In practical terms, that combination supports smoother tracking and better target-background separation when conditions are damp, cold, or thermally cluttered. The 1024×768 AMOLED display gives a crisp viewing image, while the integrated 1000.00 m laser rangefinder and ballistic software add a direct ranging solution inside the scope rather than forcing the shooter to work with a separate device.

The Ares 360L 2.0 also suits real field use beyond pure image quality. It offers 7 reticles with illumination, onboard photo and video recording, WiFi connectivity, 64GB internal memory, and a tube-style body that mounts with standard 30 mm rings. Its IP67 protection, operating range of -20°C to +50°C, and long battery endurance make it a practical thermal rifle scope for extended night hunting sessions in variable weather.

About ThermTec

ThermTec Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2011 and is based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. The company develops and manufactures infrared thermal-imaging systems and solutions, with expertise spanning optics design, detector production, and AI-driven calibration. That combination is especially relevant in thermal hunting optics, where image processing, detector behavior, and optical design all affect how clearly a target stands out in changing field conditions.

ThermTec’s outdoor range includes thermal monoculars, imaging sights, clip-on devices, and multispectrum binoculars, showing a strong focus on practical thermal observation and aiming products rather than general sporting optics. The company also states that it uses proprietary NST algorithms and patented image-processing technologies, which helps explain its emphasis on image stability and calibration performance across product families such as the Ares 2.0 series.
