ThermTec Ares 335 2.0

• 12 μm VOx sensor: The 384x288 thermal sensor combines a fine 12.00 μm pixel pitch with 18.00 mK NETD, helping the scope separate small temperature differences for cleaner target definition in damp air, changing weather, and uneven backgrounds.
• 35 mm F1.0 objective: The fast 35.00 mm lens gathers more thermal energy, which supports the stated 1800.00 m detection range and gives the Ares 335 2.0 the reach needed for scanning open ground and identifying heat sources sooner.
• Tube-style thermal sight layout: Its conventional riflescope form makes the sight familiar to mount and handle, while the 50.00 mm eye relief and fixed 3.20x optical magnification support steady shooting positions and a natural transition from daytime optics.
• AMOLED display and onboard recording: The 1024×768 AMOLED display presents the thermal image with strong contrast, while photo, video, and video output functions let the user document sightings, review shot placement, or share the feed externally.
• 12-hour power system with WiFi: A rated 12.00 h battery life on an 18650 power supply reduces interruptions during long outings, and built-in Wifi adds a practical way to connect the sight for viewing or device management.

About the ThermTec Ares 2.0 Series

ThermTec Ares 2.0 is a thermal imaging sight family introduced on September 10, 2024 as part of ThermTec’s dedicated hunting and observation lineup. The series sits in the company’s thermal-imaging-sight range and is built around uncooled thermal detectors with 12 μm pixel pitch, giving the platform a modern balance of image detail, compact sensor design, and practical field usability. Across the range, ThermTec positions Ares 2.0 for users who need a tube-style thermal sight for observation and night hunting, with models configured around either fixed 35 mm or 50 mm lenses, as well as dual-field-of-view 20 mm/60 mm options.

A defining characteristic of the series is its use of AI-assisted image calibration, intended to keep the image stable as environmental conditions change. That matters in real use because thermal performance is often influenced by humidity, background temperature, and shifting terrain contrast. The lineup includes both standard Ares 2.0 models and Ares LRF 2.0 variants, with the latter adding an integrated laser rangefinder and ballistic calculation for users who want ranging support built into the sight. In practical terms, the series is designed for shooters who want thermal capability in a familiar riflescope-style format rather than a compact handheld device or clip-on system.

About the ThermTec Ares 335 2.0

ThermTec Ares 335 2.0 is the fixed-magnification 35 mm model in the series, built for shooters who want a straightforward thermal riflescope with enough base magnification for positive aiming and enough field coverage for scanning at medium distances. Its 3.20x optical magnification gives a more deliberate sight picture than lower-power thermal optics, which helps when the priority is placing shots carefully rather than covering the widest possible view. At the same time, the 132.00 m/1000m field of view keeps the image broad enough for tracking movement across fields, woodland edges, and feeding areas.

The thermal core pairs 384x288 resolution with a 12.00 μm pixel pitch and 18.00 mK sensitivity, a combination that supports cleaner separation between animals and background clutter when temperature contrast is weak. The 50.00 Hz refresh rate helps the image remain fluid during panning, which is especially useful when following moving targets or scanning from improvised shooting positions. A 35.00 mm F 1.0 objective contributes to the stated 1800.00 m detection range by collecting more thermal information, while the AMOLED display helps preserve contrast and viewing comfort during extended use.

The sight also emphasizes practical field handling. A 50.00 mm eye relief supports safe, repeatable head position on centerfire rifles, and the multi-reticle system with 7 reticles and illumination gives the user flexibility to match the aiming pattern to terrain, target size, and personal preference. Photo capture, video recording, video output, and Wifi add useful documentation and connectivity functions, while the rated 12.00 h battery life, waterproof and fogproof construction, and operating range of -20°C to +50°C make the Ares 335 2.0 suitable for long sessions in difficult weather.

About ThermTec

ThermTec Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2011 and is based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. The company focuses on the development and manufacture of infrared thermal-imaging systems and solutions, with expertise that spans optics design, detector production, and AI-driven calibration. That background is directly relevant to products such as thermal riflescopes, where image processing, sensor integration, and optical design all shape field performance.

Within its outdoor range, ThermTec produces thermal monoculars, imaging sights, clip-on devices, and multispectrum binoculars. The company also states that it uses proprietary NST algorithms and patented image-processing technologies, reflecting a design approach centered on extracting a stable, readable image from changing thermal conditions. In this category, ThermTec is best known for dedicated thermal observation and aiming devices rather than conventional daylight optics.
