Description
Rix K3 Thermal
The K3 is a solid option for hand held use. It’s 384 core does an excellent job for the cost. Because this unit takes a replaceable 18650 battery it’s able to be on watch long into the night without any issues.
Helmet Mounting the K3
Yes you saw that correctly, we developed a way to mount the K3 to your helmet when used in conjunction with our Symbiote Bridge. The K3 dove tail adaptor is 3D printed out of the same material we make the Symbiote out of. It doesn’t add much weight to the unit. However it was never designed to do this so it is not a perfect application, but it does work and can get the job done.
The Pro of helmet mounting this unit is it’s an extremely affordable way to obtain a helmet mounted thermal. There are some draw backs with this unit being helmet mounted. The eye relief on the K3 is really short, to see clearly you will need to be able to adjust the unit perfectly to rest against your eye brow while helmet mounting. This is just like you would use it as a hand held unit. Most helmet mountable units are designed with a more forgiving eye relief that allows you to keep the thermal away from your face and still get a full field of view and see the screen clearly.
