RIX Optics STRIDE ST6 Lite – High-Resolution Thermal in a
Lightweight Platform
The RIX Optics STRIDE ST6 Lite Thermal Imaging Monocular is
built for users who want high-end thermal performance in a compact, lightweight
device. Featuring a powerful 640 thermal sensor and extended detection range,
it delivers exceptional clarity and situational awareness in total darkness and
challenging environments.
Designed for both handheld and helmet-mounted use, the ST6
Lite is ideal for hunting, pest control, patrol, and outdoor observation where
mobility and performance are equally important.
640 Thermal Sensor for Superior Image Detail
At the heart of the ST6 Lite is a 640×512 VOx thermal
sensor, offering significantly improved detail over lower-resolution
models.
- 640×512
resolution with 12µm pixel pitch
- NETD
<20mK for high sensitivity
- Smooth
50Hz refresh rate
This allows for clearer target identification and better
image quality, even in fog, rain, or dense terrain.
Extended Detection Range for Long-Distance Scanning
The ST6 Lite is built for greater reach:
- Detection
range up to ~1300 metres (1423 yards)
- Ideal
for mid to long-range scanning
- Provides
early target detection in open terrain
This extended range makes it a strong choice for users who
need more than entry-level thermal capability.
True 1× Magnification & Wide Field of View
Designed for natural viewing and movement:
- 1×
base magnification for realistic perspective
- Up
to 6× magnification range
- Wide
17.5° × 13.1° field of view
This combination allows users to scan large areas
efficiently while maintaining situational awareness.
Compact, Lightweight & Helmet-Mount Ready
Despite its upgraded performance, the ST6 Lite remains
highly portable:
- Approx.
205g (0.45 lb)
- Compact
design for easy carry
- Compatible
with helmet mounting systems
This makes it ideal for extended use without fatigue.
OLED Display, Recording & Connectivity
- 1024×768
OLED display for clear viewing
- Built-in
photo and video recording
- 32GB
internal storage
- Wi-Fi
connectivity for mobile integration
These features allow you to capture, review, and share
thermal footage directly from the device.
Durable & Field-Ready Construction
- IP67
waterproof and dustproof rating
- Operating
temperature range -20°C to +50°C
- Powered
by 18650 battery (~4 hours runtime)
- USB
Type-C external power support
Built for real-world use, the ST6 Lite performs reliably in
harsh conditions.
