InfiRay Mate MAL25

• 1x clip-on format: The MAL25 mounts in front of a daytime riflescope, so it adds thermal imaging without changing the familiar handling, eye relief and reticle view of the day optic.
• 384x288, 12 μm thermal sensor: This sensor gives the unit enough detail for reliable heat-source detection while keeping the device compact and practical for hunters who want a lighter front attachment.
• NETD 30.00 mK sensitivity: A low thermal sensitivity helps the image separate subtle temperature differences, which makes animals stand out more clearly in damp air, mixed cover and changing evening conditions.
• Magnesium housing: The magnesium body keeps weight to 460.00 g while adding field durability, so the clip-on is easier to carry and less likely to upset rifle balance than heavier front attachments.
• Recording, WiFi and long battery life: Built-in image capture, video recording and WiFi support make it easier to document observations and manage the device in the field, while the stated 13.00 h battery life supports long outings.

About the InfiRay Mate Series

The InfiRay Mate Series is a family of thermal imaging attachments introduced by InfiRay Outdoor in 2022 for hunters who want to add thermal capability to a daytime riflescope instead of replacing it with a dedicated thermal sight. The series includes the MAL25, MAL38 and MAH50, with the manufacturer also listing the MAH50R as part of the MATE line. Across the range, the design emphasis is on a compact front attachment format, practical field handling and a housing made from magnesium alloy to keep weight under control.

MATE devices are built primarily for use in front of day scopes, but the original models also support attachment and monocular viewing modes, which adds flexibility for scanning and observation. Within the series, users can choose between more accessible models such as the MAL25 and MAL38 or move to higher-spec variants, including a version with an integrated laser rangefinder and ballistic calculation. InfiRay positions the line for hunting applications, where a thermal clip-on needs to preserve the familiar shooting position of a conventional optic while still delivering a clear thermal image and dependable field durability.

About the InfiRay Mate MAL25

The InfiRay Mate MAL25 is the most compact configuration in the Mate family, built around a 25.00 mm objective lens and a true 1.00x optical format for front-of-scope use. As a thermal clip-on, it is designed to sit ahead of a daytime riflescope rather than replace it, which is important for shooters who already know their preferred glass, reticle and stock position. In practice, that means the MAL25 adds thermal detection while preserving the familiar sight picture and controls of the day optic behind it.

Its 384x288 VOx uncooled sensor with 12.00 μm pixel pitch, 30.00 mK NETD and 50.00 Hz refresh rate is aimed at practical hunting use where smooth image rendering and consistent target separation matter more than headline specification alone. The stated 1298.00 m detection range gives the unit enough reach for early spotting, while the OLED display with 1024×768 resolution provides a crisp viewing image for clip-on operation. In monocular mode, digital zoom extends to ×2 and ×4, which is useful when observing without the rifle.

The housing is made from magnesium, helping keep the unit to 460.00 g and 132.00 mm in length, so it remains manageable on the rifle and easier to carry over longer sessions. WiFi connectivity, image capture, video recording and video output add practical utility for documentation and sharing, while waterproof, fogproof and shockproof construction supports use in poor weather and changing terrain.

About IRay
