Combining Standalone Scope, Clip-On, and Handheld Monocular in one device, the HYDRA delivers unmatched versatility for thermal hunting, observation, and field applications. Standard with the QDM150 quick detach mount, it enables effortless switching between handheld scanning and rifle-mounted shooting. Designed for maximum flexibility in the field, the HYDRA adapts to changing scenarios without the need for multiple devices.

QDM150 Fixed to HYDRA
Enable seamless transition from rifle-mounted (clip-on or standalone scope) to handheld use. No re-zero required.
High-End Thermal Sensor with AI-Powered
Image Super Resolution (ISR)
The HYDRA features a 12μm ≤18mK thermal sensor for exceptional image clarity on models with 384×288 sensors and above. DNT’s proprietary Image Super Resolution (ISR) algorithm enhances fine details and maintains image definition when digitally zooming in, addressing one of the biggest challenges in thermal imaging.
*ISR makes a 256-sensor image as clear as a 384-sensor image.
*With ISR, digital zoom will look better than you have seen before.
2. Clip-On
The HYDRA is compatible with LPVOs (*for optimum performance, we recommend staying in the lower half of your LPVO magnification range) and low-magnification prism optics. It transforms your daytime optic into a thermal sight while preserving your existing optic setup, offering a completely new and exciting experience.
