Rix Optics (visir Inc) LEAPL3R Leap L3 Black 3.2-9.6x35mm Multiple Reticle 1x-4x Zoom, 384x288 12 Microns 50 Hz Resolution
The Rix Optics Leap L3 is a compact thermal imaging scope built for hunters and shooters who need reliable heat detection in low-light and no-light conditions. This 3.2-9.6x35mm thermal optic combines a vanadium oxide uncooled sensor with an intuitive digital interface, making it accessible for both seasoned thermal users and those stepping into the technology for the first time. The Leap L3 delivers the detection range and rugged build quality you'd expect from a serious optic, without unnecessary complexity.
At its core, the Leap L3 uses a 384×288 resolution thermal sensor with 12-micron pixel pitch and a 50 Hz refresh rate—specs that translate to clean, responsive imagery across its 3.2x to 9.6x optical zoom range. That variable magnification covers everything from close-quarters scanning to longer-range target identification, while the 1x to 4x digital zoom adds flexibility if you need it. The 35mm objective lens keeps the overall footprint reasonable—14.2 inches long and just 2.4 pounds—so it won't wear you down on all-day hunts or range sessions. IP67 weather sealing protects the electronics from rain, dust, and incidental splashes.
Built-in laser rangefinding extends to 1200 meters, with ±1 meter accuracy. The AMOLED display pushes 1920×1080 resolution, giving you a sharp picture even in bright sunlight. You can record video (1280×720, .mp4 format) and stills (.jpg) to the 32GB internal memory—useful for documenting shots or reviewing footage later. Battery life runs about 4 hours on the included 18650 battery, with 5V USB-C charging available, and the optic handles up to 1000g recoil impulse on rifled firearms. Compatible with standard 30mm scope rings.
