Burris BTH19 V3

• Wide thermal field of view: The 19.00 mm objective and 14.40 ° field of view make it easier to scan hedgerows, field edges and wooded approaches quickly, so moving animals or heat sources are easier to pick up without constant panning.
• 400x300 VOx sensor: The 400x300 uncooled sensor with 12.00 μm pixel pitch gives the BTH19 V3 enough detail for reliable target detection and tracking at practical handheld distances, while keeping the unit compact and easy to carry.
• High-resolution LCOS display: Its 1280x960 LCOS display presents the thermal image clearly in the eyepiece, helping with shape recognition, hotspot separation and longer observation sessions with less visual strain.
• Photo and video recording: Built-in image capture, video recording and video output let the monocular document sightings and share footage, which is useful for reviewing animal movement, scouting routes or recording evidence in the field.
• Weather-ready construction: Waterproof and fogproof construction helps the monocular stay usable in damp mornings, rain and rapid temperature changes, conditions where thermal observation is often most valuable.

About the Burris H Series Series

The Burris H Series is Burris' family of thermal handhelds built for target identification and tracking, with a clear emphasis on night hunting and general field observation after dark. Within Burris' thermal lineup, these monoculars sit as portable viewers rather than weapon-mounted optics, giving users a fast way to scan terrain, confirm heat signatures and monitor movement before switching to other equipment if needed.

A defining trait of the series is its focus on practical handheld use. BTH handhelds have been offered with 19 mm, 25 mm, 35 mm and 50 mm focal-length lenses, so the range covers both wide-area scanning and longer-distance observation roles. Burris also lists selectable color palettes, hot-track functionality and Wi-Fi connectivity for mobile-device control and recording among the series features. In practice, that gives the H Series a flexible character: broad-view models suit close and mid-range searching, while larger-lens versions favor more reach. Across the range, the design philosophy is straightforward and field-oriented, prioritizing quick thermal detection, simple image interpretation and portable handling for hunters and other users who need a dedicated thermal monocular rather than a mounted sight.

About the Burris BTH19 V3

The Burris BTH19 V3 is the compact, wide-view option in this thermal handheld format. Its 19.00 mm objective and 250.70 m/1000m field of view are better suited to scanning nearby and mid-range ground than to narrow, long-distance observation. That makes it a sensible choice for moving through broken terrain, checking field margins, following animal movement and searching larger sections of ground quickly. With a stated 500.00 m detection range, it is built to find heat sources efficiently while keeping the image broad enough for situational awareness.

The thermal core uses a 400x300 VOx uncooled sensor with 12.00 μm pixel pitch and 50.00 mK NETD. In practical use, that combination helps the monocular separate warm targets from cooler backgrounds with enough definition for confident spotting and tracking in typical night-time conditions. The 1280x960 LCOS display gives the eyepiece image enough apparent resolution to make prolonged observation more comfortable and to support better interpretation of outlines and hotspots.

The BTH19 V3 also includes automatic and manual calibration, allowing the user to balance convenience with direct control over image refresh behavior in changing conditions. Built-in image capture, video recording and video output add useful documentation capability for scouting and review. Because it is waterproof and fogproof, the monocular is suited to the damp, cold and changeable weather where thermal imaging often proves most useful.

About Burris

Burris was founded in 1971 by Don Burris and is headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, United States. The company built its reputation in sporting optics and later expanded into a broad catalog that includes hunting and tactical riflescopes, red-dot and reflex sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, thermal optics, rings and mounts. That breadth matters here because Burris approaches thermal products as part of a larger field-use optics program rather than as an isolated category.

Several milestones help define the brand's place in the market. Burris introduced the Ballistic Plex trajectory-compensating reticle in 2000, launched the FastFire mini red-dot reflex sight in 2007 and followed with the Eliminator riflescope in 2010, combining laser rangefinding with automatic bullet-drop compensation. Beretta Holdings acquired Burris in 2002, and the company has continued to develop optics aimed at practical hunting and shooting use, with an emphasis on functional design and application-specific features.
