ZEISS DTI 4/50 Thermal Imaging Handheld
For demanding hunters. High detail recognition at long range.
Nature never sleeps. And the passion for hunting doesn't rest either. We can trust in our intuition, in our feeling for the game.
For absolute certainty, the right equipment is crucial.
The ZEISS DTI 4 is a thermal imaging camera developed by ZEISS that performs at its best both from a raised hide and when stalking.
With a high-resolution 640 × 512 sensor and ZSIP, it delivers high-contrast, detailed image quality anywhere in your hunting ground – even over long distances.
For demanding raised hide hunting, the ZEISS DTI 4/50 is the perfect choice thanks to its tremendous detection range.
Detect heat sources clearly and with high contrast at distances of up to 2,635 meters and identify even the smallest details in sharp image quality thanks to ZSIP.
High detail recognition with 640 x 512 px Sensor
The new 640 x 512 sensor offers higher image resolution for better image quality at all zoom levels, as well as a longer detection range with less noise at the same zoom level compared to a smaller sensor.
As a result, it offers more detail detection at greater distances.
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 4 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 7 hours, the DTI 4 models will hold enough charge for two to four hunts.
Extend the battery life even further by activating the smart standby function.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
