IRAY RH50 Weapon Mounted Thermal

1.) What is the battery life of the RH50 

The RH50 will offer up to 10 hours of standby, 6 hours of constant scanning. We recommend adding a second battery if you plan to be out all night. You can find this battery HERE.

2.) What are proper batteries for the MH25? 

The RH50 comes with one OL-iRay-AC07 battery. This is not something you will find at your local store. It is a proprietary rechargeable battery pack.

3.) What is included with the RH25? 

The RH50 includes a QD base for Picatinny mounting, battery, instruction manual, various cables for charging and data transferring and some tools in a soft carry case. Please note: This unit is packaged by iRAY USA. Packaging and included contents MAY vary over time.

4.) How much better is 640 vs 320 or 384 core?  

We typically only recommend 640×480 or better cores. The image clarity and quality is substantially better than a 320 or 384 core. With that being said, if your budget doesn’t allow the price tag of a 640 core, lower resolution may be the only option. You can get a lot of work done with lower resolution, but when it comes to helmet mounting, 640×480 is the way. We will say this: iRay has done a fantastic job with their 384 core thermal units. We have been blown away by the clarity. It won’t be as crisp as a 640×480 or 640×512, but it is definitely capable.

5.) What about a warranty?

Contact iRay after purchase to register for their warranty. If there is ever an issue, we would be happy to assist. Ultimately, if a unit is defective, iRay will handle the replacement. However, part of us doing right by our customers is helping any way we can. If you experience issues, email us at CS@Arkayne.com.

6.) Is the RH50 able to be helmet mounted or used as a handheld? 

Negative on the helmet mounting. Technically it “could” be used as a handheld, but this is a dedicated weapon mounted thermal. If helmet or handheld thermal is desired, check out the other options on our website.

7.) Does the RH50 feature internal recording? 

Yes, the RH50 can record videos or photos internally. The files can be easily transferred by plugging the unit into your computer.

8.) Is the ILR-1000 range finder actually necessary? 

We think so. Ranging target is difficult when using thermal. It is very different than a daylight optic. While it is true that over time you will get better at ranging, having a laser range finder mounted and plugged into the unit takes the safety and precision to a new level. Remember: we are sending rounds in TOTAL darkness. Make sure you have the tools to be safe and make consistent hits.

9.) What is the best base magnification of a thermal scope? 

We tend to prefer lower magnifications for our terrain. That being said, anything 1-4X base magnification will suffice for most folks. Any higher and it gets harder to scan larger areas. If you already have helmet mounted thermal, this is a non-issue as you will scan with that. Remember: the base magnification will be the clearest magnification. Everything higher is digital. We like using the base magnification and PIP mode when shooting prey.
