Guide Nova N435S Features
APEXVISION S1 system
The ApexCore S1 detector, Nexus 1.0 platform and Hyper-Light 2.0 processing give a clean, detailed picture.
400 x 300 sensor and 35mm F0.9 lens
A 15 mK sensor with a fast 35mm F0.9 lens gives a 7.9° x 5.9° field of view, 3.3x to 13.2x magnification and detection out to 1800 m.
Compact and light
At 530 g and 240 mm long, it keeps a light rifle easy to carry.
Recoil activated recording
Video starts recording when the rifle fires, so you capture the shot without pressing a button. Audio is recorded too.
Two power sources
A built-in battery plus a replaceable 18500 give up to 7.5 hours of run time.
Mount and options
The Guide quick release scope mount is included. Wi-Fi works with the TargetIR app, and a 1200 m laser rangefinder is available as an option.
