DNT’s Best-Selling HYDRA Series Now Includes New Models Featuring a Laser Rangefinder and Ballistic Calculator

On October 10, DNT unveiled the all-new HYDRA-LRF Series, the next evolution of its highly regarded HYDRA 3-in-1 thermal scope. By adding a laser rangefinder and integrated ballistic calculator, the HYDRA-LRF series brings new capabilities that make hunting smarter, faster, and more precise.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes the HYDRA-LRF series stand out:

Three-in-One Design for Ultimate Flexibility

Building on the versatility that made the original HYDRA great, the HYDRA-LRF also functions as a standalone thermal riflescope, a thermal clip-on for daytime optics (LPVOs and low magnification prism optics), and a handheld monocular, all in one compact device.

When paired with the QDM150 quick detach mount, it enables fast and seamless switching between modes, adapting instantly to any hunting scenario.

Precision Ranging with Integrated Ballistic Calculator

With the built-in laser rangefinder, the HYDRA-LRF can accurately measure distances from 5 to 1,300 yards. Its onboard ballistic calculator provides instant drop compensation for the measured range. Together, these features help hunters take confident shots at any distance, even in complex terrain.

Advanced Thermal Imaging with Image Super Resolution

Equipped with a high-performance 12 μm uncooled infrared sensor, the HYDRA-LRF delivers crisp, real-time thermal images across all models. DNT’s proprietary Image Super Resolution (ISR) algorithm boosts sensor output to higher equivalent resolutions, preserving detail during digital zoom while maintaining sharpness and smooth frame rates.

High-Quality Micro-OLED Display for Smooth Real-Time Viewing

The 1024×768 Micro-OLED display ensures every detail is visible at 50 Hz refresh rate. With 65 mm eye relief and an ergonomic design, aiming is comfortable and fatigue-free, even during extended hunts.

Choose the Right Model for Your Hunt

The HYDRA-LRF lineup includes four models: HS225R, HS335R, HS635R, and HS650R. Same as the Hydra series, the first digits indicate sensor resolution, while the last two digits denote the focal length of objective lens.

HS225R – Value-packed Thermal Scope for Beginners

• 256×192 thermal sensor, ≤25 mK, 25 mm objective lens.

• 3x base magnification, up to 12x digital zoom.

• ISR boosts sensor output to 384 equivalent.

Perfect for newcomers, the HS225R offers an easy introduction to precision thermal vision.

HS335R – Advanced Thermal Scope for Serious Hunters

• 384×288 thermal sensor, ≤18 mK, 35 mm objective lens.

• 3x base magnification, up to 12x digital zoom.

• ISR boosts sensor output to near 640 equivalent.

Balances performance and value, the HS335R is ideal for hunters ready to elevate their game.

HS635R – High-End Thermal Scope for Professionals

• 640×512 thermal sensor, ≤18 mK, 35 mm objective lens.

• 1.5x base magnification, up to 6x digital zoom.

• ISR boosts sensor output equivalent to 960 sensor at 6x zoom.

Designed for professional hunters, the HS635R provides precise detail and reliable performance even in challenging environments.

HS650R – Premier Thermal Scope for Hunters Who Want It All

• 640×512 thermal sensor, ≤18 mK, 50 mm large objective lens.

• 2.5x base magnification, up to 10x digital zoom.

• ISR boosts sensor output equivalent to 960 sensor at 10x zoom.

Being the ultimate choice for hunters seeking peak performance, the HS650R captures every distant detail with unmatched clarity.

Pricing and Discounts
