Luna Optics DTM1 Digital Tactical Day/Night Vision Monocular

Moving at night, on a trail, a fence line or a patrol route, goes better with both hands free than with one holding a monocular. The Luna Optics DTM1 (LN-DTM1) is a 237-gram digital day/night vision monocular that ships with helmet mounting gear for a standard VAS NVG shroud, set up for the left or right eye. Its 1x optical view is meant for hands-free operation, and digital zoom steps to 2x, 4x and 6x for a closer look.

Key Features

• Digital, by day and by night. An f/1.0 all-glass lens and a 1920 x 1080 Full HD CMOS sensor feed a 1280 x 720 HD display, and the DTM1 is safe to use in daylight as well as at night. It shows the scene in black and white or Night Vision Green Phosphor.
• Close range without the illuminator. Luna's backlit sensor technology allows close-up viewing and identification in near total darkness, up to 3 m (10 ft), with the IR illuminator off. The sensor carries a 0.0001 lux rating.
• 850 nm IR illuminator. Three power levels and a night range of 100 m (109 yd) in total darkness. Under a full moon, the nighttime visibility range is rated at 600 m (654 yd).
• Live view on a phone. Wi-Fi sends the picture to an iOS or Android device; the DTM1 streams rather than records to a card.
• Compass and cold rating. A built-in compass, and an operating rating from -40°F to 131°F (-40°C to +55°C).

Ideal For

• Tactical and patrol work on foot. The DTM1 is built for tactical field operations, and on a helmet it leaves both hands free.
• Airsoft and milsim players whose helmets already carry a VAS shroud.
• Hunters and landowners who walk to a stand or check a property after dark and want the view on a helmet, not in a hand.
• Buyers who want recording or color. Luna's handheld G3 monoculars record QHD video and 16.1 MP stills to a microSD card and add a full-color day mode: the G3 5-30x44 and the longer-reaching G3 6-36x50.

Accessories & Compatibility

• Helmet. The mounting gear fits a standard VAS NVG helmet shroud, and the left/right eye setup clasp sets which eye it sits in front of. The helmet and mask in Luna's photos are not included.
• Power. One rechargeable 3.7 V 18650 cell (4.2 V maximum) runs it for up to 3.5 hours with the IR off. Auto power-off can be set to 3, 5 or 10 minutes, and a battery charger with USB cable comes in the box.
