Guide TU435LS 3.0 Thermal Riflescope with In-Lens LRF

The Guide TU435LS brings Guide's ApexVision S1 platform to a 400 × 300 sensor: 12 µm pixels rated at 15 mK behind a 35 mm F0.9 lens, with the laser rangefinder inside the objective and the same 1.03-inch 2560 × 2560 AMOLED and 60 mm eye relief as the 640-class TU Pro 3.0 models. Against the TU435L at the same resolution, it moves to 15 mK from 20 mK, F0.9 from F1.0, the 2560 × 2560 display from 1920 × 1080, and a 14-hour battery rating from more than 7 hours, with a taller 7.9° × 5.9° field against 7.4° × 4.4°. The TU435L ranges farther (1,500 m against 1,200 m) and weighs 780 g against 875 g.

Key Features

• ApexVision S1 imaging. The ApexCore S1 detector works with the Nexus 1.0 platform and the Hyper-Light 2.0 image-processing algorithm. The sensor runs at 50 Hz with a 15 mK rating.
• Rangefinder inside the objective. The laser rangefinder sits on the lens axis instead of in a separate window. This reduces parallax error in ranging and keeps the scope compact. It ranges to 1,200 m (1,300 yd).
• Large square display. The 1.03-inch 2560 × 2560 AMOLED has 60 mm of eye relief and a -5 to +5 diopter. Magnification starts at 4.2x and reaches 16.8x with 4x digital zoom, across a 7.9° × 5.9° field.
• Shutterless 3.0. Calibration runs without the shutter click or the image freeze, so the view stays live while you follow an animal. A shutter module is retained for image quality at startup and through large temperature changes.
• Three batteries, 14 hours. Two built-in 18650 cells work with a third, replaceable 18650 for a rated 14 hours, and the replaceable cell supports hot swapping. USB-C supplies external power and charging.
• Recoil-activated recording. Each shot saves a 15-second clip and 5 photos for instant playback. Photos and video record with audio to 128 GB of internal storage.
• Built for recoil and weather. Rated for 6,000 J shock, sealed to IP68 and specified for -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C).
• Central focus and zoom. A centrally placed focus wheel and zoom lever handle focus and magnification.
• App and remote. Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz) links the TargetIR app for live view, photos, video, settings and firmware updates. Bluetooth pairs Guide's optional remote control.
• Reticles, zeros and ballistics. The TU 3.0 series saves ten configurations (A to J) with zeros at up to five distances, and its ballistic calculator uses each range reading and the measured angle to give a correction in MOA or MIL. Seven thermal palettes are included.

Ideal For

• Hunters who want the TU Pro 3.0 display, rangefinder and battery system with a 400 × 300 sensor.
• Hog and predator hunters at moderate range, where the 4.2x starting magnification shows a distant animal larger than the 640-class 35 mm model's 2.6x does.
• Hunters coming from the TU435L or another 0.49-inch 1080p scope who want the larger 2560 × 2560 display and 60 mm of eye relief.

TU435LS or TU635LS. The TU635LS shares this scope's 35 mm F0.9 lens, display, rangefinder, battery system and 875 g weight, with a 640 × 512 sensor. Behind the same lens, its larger sensor covers a wider 12.5° × 10.0° field from a 2.6x start, while the TU435LS's 400 × 300 sensor starts at 4.2x across 7.9° × 5.9°. Both are rated to 1,800 m detection.

Accessories & Compatibility

The TU435LS has a standard 30 mm tube and comes with Guide's quick-release scope mount. A Bluetooth remote control and spare 18650 batteries are available as optional accessories.
