American company ATN Corp has expanded its lineup of handheld thermal imaging monoculars with the new Blaze Gen 6 series, comprising four models: BlazeSeeker 6 210, BlazeTrek 6 325, BlazeHunter 650 LRF, and the flagship BlazeHunter XD LRF. All devices in the series are based on VOx Uncooled Focal Plane Array thermal sensors with a 12 μm pixel pitch and a 50 Hz refresh rate. Image processing is handled by SharpIR technology and a non-uniformity correction (NUC) system operating in automatic, semi-automatic, or manual modes. All models feature germanium lenses, offer digital zoom (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x), six color palettes (White Hot, Black Hot, Iron Red, Alarm, Green Hot, and Sepia), Hot Point Tracking, scene modes, as well as the ability to capture photos and record videos stored on a built-in 32 GB internal memory. Every thermal monocular in the Blaze Gen 6 family features an IP67-rated housing (fully dustproof and resistant to temporary immersion in water), diopter adjustment from -5 to +5 D, and a Wi-Fi module compatible with the ATN Connect 6 app, available for iOS and Android. The application enables wireless live view, settings adjustment, media storage, and simultaneous video sharing with multiple users. Additionally, the Gen 6 series integrates an AI assistant that uses the user manual for the specific model to help with device configuration and operation.
The BlazeSeeker 6 210 is equipped with a 256 × 192 pixel sensor with a NETD sensitivity of ≤20 mK. Its 10 mm F/1.0 lens provides a 17.3° × 13.1° field of view, 1.7–13.6x magnification, and a maximum detection range of 460 m. Focus is set using a Fixed/Focus-Free mechanism. The monocular features an OLED display with a resolution of 800 × 600 pixels. BlazeSeeker 6 210 is a notably compact design – measuring just 149 × 57 × 50 mm and weighing 270 g. The device can be powered externally via a USB-C port, but it also includes a built-in rechargeable battery providing up to 8 hours of operation. The operating temperature range extends from -30°C to 55°C.
The next model in the Blaze Gen 6 family is the BlazeTrek 6 325. The device is equipped with a 384 × 288 pixel sensor featuring a NETD sensitivity of ≤18 mK. Its maximum detection range is 1,300 m, while the 25 mm F/1.0 lens provides a 10.9° × 8.2° field of view and 2.8–22x magnification. Focus is adjusted manually for objects located from 1 m to infinity. The monocular is fitted with an OLED display with a resolution of 800 × 600 pixels. The BlazeTrek 6 325 measures 158 × 57 × 50 mm and weighs 320 g, including the battery. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 8 hours of operation, with charging via USB-C. The device operates in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 55°C.
The higher-end BlazeHunter 650 LRF is equipped with a 640 × 512 pixel sensor with a NETD sensitivity of ≤18 mK. Its 50 mm F/1.0 germanium lens delivers 3.5–28x magnification, an 8.7° × 6.9° field of view, and a maximum detection range of up to 2,380 m. The model features a 0.41-inch color OLED display with a resolution of 1440 × 1080 pixels, as well as an integrated laser rangefinder (LRF) with a range of up to 914 m. Power is supplied by two 18650 rechargeable batteries, providing up to 14 hours of operation. The device weighs 360 g without the batteries and measures 152 × 42 × 74 mm. Its operating temperature range extends from -30°C to 50°C.
The flagship model of the series is the BlazeHunter XD LRF. It is by far the largest and heaviest device in the sixth-generation Blaze lineup. The unit is powered by two replaceable 18650 rechargeable batteries, providing more than 10 hours of operation on a single charge, while its weight without batteries is 495 g. The device measures 202 × 81 × 61 mm, though its larger dimensions reflect its enhanced capabilities. The BlazeHunter XD LRF is equipped with a 1280 × 1024 pixel sensor featuring a NETD sensitivity of ≤15 mK, enabling a detection range of up to 3,400 m. Its 50 mm F/1.0 lens offers 2x base magnification with digital zoom up to 16x, along with a 17.46° × 14.01° field of view. The image is displayed on a 0.49-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. The model also features an integrated laser rangefinder with a range of 1,000 m and an accuracy of ±1 m, using a Class 1 905 nm laser. The operating temperature range is from -30°C to 55°C.
