Burris USM H35 V3 Handheld Thermal Imaging Device - Model 300636

The Burris USM H35 V3 handheld thermal imaging device brings serious thermal detection capability to hunters, law enforcement, search and rescue teams, and outdoor professionals who need to locate heat signatures in complete darkness or adverse conditions. This model delivers the thermal imaging performance Burris is known for in a handheld platform designed for rapid deployment and ease of use in the field.

Thermal imaging has become essential gear for night hunting, predator control, and search operations where conventional night vision or white light falls short. The H35 V3 puts thermal detection in your hands without the commitment of a rifle-mounted optic, letting you glass terrain, locate game or subjects, and plan your approach before shouldering a firearm or moving to the next location.

Built by Burris—a name trusted across hunting, tactical, and professional markets—the USM H35 V3 combines reliable thermal technology with practical ergonomics. Whether you're working a nocturnal predator stand, supporting a search operation, or conducting perimeter reconnaissance on your property, a dedicated thermal handheld gives you speed and flexibility that no other optic type can match.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a handheld thermal imaging device used for?

Handheld thermal imagers detect infrared radiation (heat) emitted by living animals and warm objects, allowing you to see and locate targets in complete darkness, fog, rain, and smoke. Hunters use them to scout and locate game; law enforcement and search teams use them to locate subjects; property owners use them for security and predator control.

Is the Burris USM H35 V3 thermal imager suitable for hunting?

Yes. Thermal imaging is widely used for nocturnal hunting—particularly for predator control and hog hunting—and for glassing and locating game before or after dark. Check your state and local hunting regulations, as thermal imaging for hunting is legal in many jurisdictions but restricted or prohibited in others.

Can a handheld thermal imager be used with a rifle?

Handheld thermals are independent devices—you use them to locate and identify targets before engagement. Once you've found your target, you transition to your rifle and its optic or iron sights for the actual shot. This two-tool approach is faster and more flexible than installing a thermal scope on every rifle.
