ZEISS DTI 3/25 GEN 2 Thermal Imaging Handheld
Optimal performance at short distances.
Going hunting at night is a special challenge, as your vital sense of sight is severely impaired and the risk of not being successful or even making a wrong decision is high.
The DTI 3 GEN 2 family of thermal imaging cameras are specifically designed for active hunter.
Its large field of view combined with a long range makes it the perfect combination product for raised hide hunting and stalking in forested areas – and therefore also the ideal choice for all-rounders who like to take advantage of all the possibilities in their hunting ground.
Whether in forested areas or at the bait site - this high quality thermal imaging camera offers a wide field of view of 26 m at a distance of 100 m.
This means that the ZEISS DTI 3/25 GEN 2, thanks to its outstanding optics, provides a perfect a perfect overview at short distances, which Heat sources reliably.
Improved image quality and detailed recognition
New, more powerful hardware enables improved image quality and pushes the boundaries of 384 x 288 sensors even further.
The new 1,024 x 786 AMOLED display improves contrast and color reproduction for a more detailed image with less background noise and sharper edges.
The Movement Alert tracks the hottest heat source in the image and notifies the hunter when that heat source moves.
The LED on the top of the unit will start flashing or optionally the display will turn on.
It is thus possible to monitor a large area without holding the camera all the time.
Three observation modes for every situation
Different environmental situations require a different device setting.
The DTI 3 GEN 2 has three pre-programmed observation modes: universal, detect and fog.
Discover mode, for example, highlights heat sources even more while reducing the cold background.
This allows you to see animals behind trees and bushes better than before.
Smart Standby for Extended Battery Life
When out hunting, the nearest power source is often far away.
You usually need a portable charger to make sure they don’t run out of power – which means extra weight and equipment to keep in mind.
With an impressively long battery life of 8 hours, the DTI 3 GEN 2 models will hold enough charge for two to four hunts.
Extend the battery life even further by activating the smart standby function.
8 Different Color Modes
ZEISS thermal imaging cameras offer 8 different color modes, so you can choose the setting that best fits your needs.
"Black hot" and "white hot" deliver images with a high level of contrast.
When observing in areas with vast vegetation, "red hot" allows for a fast detection of heat sources.
The color mode "rainbow" is ideal for identifying the smallest differences in temperature.
In addition, four color modes have been redesigned to reduce the glare of the screen in a dark environment and reduce eye strain.
"Red Hue" mode more easily adjusts your eyes to the darkness.
"Dark Hue" is easier on your eyes by using low luminescence colors.
"Green Hue" shows plenty of detail at low screen brightness, and "Night Eye" highlights the warmest areas of the thermal image in a pleasant sepia tone.
High Frame Rate
The ZEISS DTI cameras featuring a display frame rate of 50 Hz.
This refers to the number of times per second your monitor can redraw the screen.
A higher display frame rate results in decreased flickering of the image, thereby reducing eye strain when stalking for several hours at a time.
Detection Mode
When hunting, the most important thing is to know where an animal is.
Sometimes animals are hard to spot because they are only partially visible.
Detection mode highlights heat sources even more while reducing the cold background.
This allows you to see animals behind trees and bushes better than before.
Customizable Settings
Hunting can be a very individual activity.
When it comes to thermal imaging cameras, every hunter has their own personal preferences.
Therefore, the new DTI's now offer the ability to select exactly which color modes are active and which are not, so you only must click through the ones you want to use.
The same applies to the zoom level setting.
Now you can limit the maximum zoom level to your liking.
Hot Tracking
In 'Hot Tracking' mode, the warmest source in the image is framed with a red square.
Finding heat sources in densely overgrown areas and tracking them is therefore easier.
The picture-in-picture function of the ZEISS DTI allows overlying the zoomed image on the visual image.
This feature helps to keep sight of the animal you are observing in zoom mode, even when it makes sudden movements.
Compass Overlay
You can use the compass overlay to determine the direction of a target or get your own bearings.
This can be especially helpful for stalking, or if you are out hunting with a companion and want to discuss different targets.
Shortcuts
Thanks to the shortcuts available on the DTI 3 and 4, you no longer need to open the menu to access most functions.
The preprogrammed button combinations allow you to control numerous settings with just a few clicks, such as taking pictures and videos and switching between individual modes.
