HS635 - Hydra 640x512 35mm Multi-Function Thermal Scope - Standalone Scope, Clip-On, Handheld Monocular

I saw a few early reviews of this sight and took a risk. I am glad I did! I have several thermal sights, but none can really be used as a clip on in front of LVPO sights like this one can. I really like it and the simple controls.

I've been using the HS635 Hydra 640x512 35mm thermal scope for a few days now, and it's been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I powered it on, the high-resolution 640x512 thermal sensor delivered crisp, detailed imaging that made identifying targets at distance effortless—even in total darkness or obscured conditions.

The 35mm germanium lens offers a perfect balance between field of view and magnification. I found it ideal for medium- to long-range observation and targeting, whether I was scanning open fields or working in more confined wooded areas. The refresh rate keeps motion fluid, which makes tracking moving animals or objects smooth and intuitive.

What really sets the HS635 apart is its user-friendly interface and build quality. The rugged design feels durable in the field, yet it's compact and lightweight enough for long hunts without fatigue. The intuitive menu system and quick-access buttons make adjusting palettes, zoom levels, and recording options incredibly easy, even while wearing gloves.

I also appreciated the built-in video recording and image capture capability. Being able to document what I see in real-time has added a whole new layer to my outings—both for sharing with others and for reviewing footage later.

Battery life is impressive as well, easily lasting through extended nighttime operations without worry.

In summary, the HS635 Hydra is a top-tier thermal optic that delivers on every front: image clarity, detection range, ruggedness, and usability. Whether you're a hunter, rancher, or security professional, this scope provides serious capability at a competitive price point.

Highly recommended.

It works as expected...better than I hoped for the price...I live in Hawaii on island of Kauai...backyard full of macadamia nut trees which is irresistible to wild pigs...mounted my first Hydra HS635 on a .22...ear shot 2 at approx 50-60 yards...Hawaiian style 'smoke meat' on the menu...Hawaiians say that so good 'broke da mouth'...okay...nuff said

Great features for price point

Great thermal. I was very impressed. I have other thermal that cost twice as much and this is just as good. Great lightweight option that will get the job done.
