Leica Calonox 2 View
If you are seeking the perfect partner for hunting wild boar at night, or stalking any cloven-hoofed game during the day, the new Leica Calonox 2 View thermal camera is your ideal choice. Designed and made in Germany, it wins users over with numerous, perfectly-coordinated practical functions. Handling is simplified thanks to its ergonomic and compact shape, intuitive operation, and rapid mechanical selection of day/night mode. The optimized eye relief enables better viewing – and more comfortable use in daylight, thanks to the brighter adjustable display in day mode.
The European sensor from LYNRED, together with Leica’s proven image processing software (Leica Image Optimization – LIO™) ensures even sharper images, richer in contrast and detail. Electronic color filters, and six individually-adjustable color modes, support and optimize the user’s experience.
- Extremely rich in contrast and detail, thanks to Leica Image Optimization (LIO™)
- Large micro OLED display and optimum viewing comfort
- Live View (photo and video) enables thermal imaging via smartphone, in conjunction with the Leica 2Hunt app
- Ready for use within seconds of switching on
- Up to 10 hours battery life
Concentrating on the essentials
The new Leica Calonox 2 View thermal camera is a genuine benchmark in terms of design and function. Designed and made in Germany, the Leica Calonox 2 View focuses on safe and ethical hunting with its ergonomic compact shape, practical and intuitive control buttons, and optical performance.
Fascinating observations with optimum color definition
Hunters and nature observers can count on natural, sharp, high-contrast images, thanks to the high-quality LYNRED sensor and the processing software that’s been further refined by Leica (LIO™ – Leica Image Optimization). With a sampling frequency of 60 Hertz, panning the device results in a smooth image. Likewise, video recordings of moving objects are possible without annoying interruptions.
Photo/video function with Live View
Four eyes see more than two: With the Leica 2Hunt app, a wireless connection can be established between the thermal camera and a smartphone or tablet. In addition to controlling the photo/video function, the Live View function allows a second person to simultaneously follow what the observer sees through the Leica Calonox 2 View when hunting or monitoring wildlife (e.g. counting rabbits or birds) or when searching for missing persons. The second person can thus offer extra support, day or night.
Sharp, high-contrast images
Featuring a high-quality sensor from LYNRED, the Leica Calonox 2 View is state-of-the-art for hunters and nature observers. The sensor has a size of 640x480 pixels and a pixel pitch of 12 µm. This guarantees a sharp image, rich in contrast and detail. What’s more, Leica thermal cameras feature a software-based shutter. This enables silent and instantaneous recalibration – without freezing the image.
Optimum viewing comfort
The generous micro OLED display (1280 x 960 pixels) offers brilliant image sharpness and outstanding imaging performance. Pixel binning ensures pleasant, distortion-free observation, thanks to improved light capture with less image noise. The 42-mm lens with its large field of view ensures optimum viewing comfort, an excellent overview of the surroundings, and rapid target acquisition.
4x zoom for excellent detail recognition
With the 2.5x basic optical magnification and up to 4x digital zoom, objects with the standard size of 1.8 meters can be clearly found at up to 2210 meters. Recognition is possible at 770 meters and reliable identification at 390 meters.
Individual settings are possible
To complement the new Calonox 2, the Leica 2Hunt app in the typical Leica design is now available free of charge for smartphones and tablets. Thermal camera and mobile device are quickly and easily linked via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Next, various camera settings can be easily controlled and adjusted directly in the app. Images and videos captured by the device can be viewed and downloaded via app, as well. With the launch of the Calonox 2 View devices, the first update adds a Live View function that makes it possible to share images with friends and other devices, start and stop video recording, and capture images – all on a mobile device, using the app.
