Guide TU650LS 3.0 Thermal Riflescope with In-Lens LRF

The Guide TU650LS is the 50 mm model of Guide's TU Pro 3.0 series, built on its ApexVision S1 platform: a 640 × 512, 12 µm sensor rated at 15 mK behind a 50 mm F0.9 lens with the laser rangefinder inside the objective. It shares its sensor format, 1.03-inch 2560 × 2560 AMOLED, 60 mm eye relief, 2,600 m detection rating and 14-hour battery rating with the TU650P. The TU650LS steps up to a 15 mK sensor from the TU650P's 18 mK, while the TU650P ranges farther: 1,500 m against 1,200 m.

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 3.7x and reaches 29.6x with 8x digital zoom, across a 8.8° × 7.0° 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 256 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

• Predator and hog hunters on open ground, where the 50 mm lens puts more of the sensor's pixels on a distant animal than a 35 mm lens does, and detection is rated to 2,600 m.
• Hunters who sit long or hunt several nights in a row, with a 14-hour rating on the built-in and replaceable cells and a third cell that can be swapped without shutting down.
• Hunters coming from a 0.49-inch 1080p scope, such as the TU650L, who want the 1.03-inch 2560 × 2560 display and 60 mm of eye relief.

TU650LS or TU635LS. The TU635LS uses the same sensor, display and battery system behind a 35 mm F0.9 lens. Its wider 12.5° × 10.0° field and 2.6x starting magnification suit scanning at closer range. The TU650LS's 50 mm lens gives an 8.8° × 7.0° field, a 3.7x start and Guide's 2,600 m detection rating against 1,800 m. The TU650LS also stores 256 GB against 128 GB and weighs 935 g against 875 g.

Accessories & Compatibility

The TU650LS 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.
