The Pixfra Cetus C225 Thermal Rifle Scope combines compact, lightweight design with powerful performance, featuring a 256×192 thermal sensor and detection range of up to 1300m. Its <18mK thermal sensitivity and PIPS 3.0 image enhancement deliver sharp, detailed imagery in all conditions. Built with a rugged magnesium alloy body, IP67 protection, and high recoil resistance, it’s made to endure. With customisable zeroing, Recoil Activated Recording, and up to five hours of battery life, it offers precision and convenience in the field.
The Pixfra Cetus C225 Thermal Rifle Scope delivers exceptional thermal performance in a compact, field-ready design, making it an ideal companion for night-time hunting. Built around a 256×192, 12µm thermal sensor, it offers an impressive detection range of up to 1300 metres, allowing you to identify targets at distance with confidence. Its <18mK NETD thermal sensitivity ensures outstanding clarity in challenging conditions, cutting through rain, fog, and darkness to present well-defined heat signatures on a crisp 800×600 OLED display.
At the heart of the Cetus C225 lies PIPS 3.0 image enhancement, an AI-driven system that refines thermal imagery for sharper detail and improved accuracy. Even at higher magnifications, the image remains clear and precise, supporting <1 MOA precision for reliable shot placement. This advanced processing bridges the gap between affordability and premium performance, giving hunters enhanced target recognition without compromise.
Designed with usability in mind, the Cetus features a compact, lightweight body that improves manoeuvrability in the field. Its minimalist control system, including a multipurpose spin wheel and intuitive top-mounted buttons, allows for quick adjustments without distraction. Despite its size, it is built tough, with a magnesium alloy housing, IP67 protection, and 1000g shock resistance, making it suitable for high-calibre rifles and demanding environments.
The scope also excels in endurance and user convenience. Powered by a single replaceable 18650 battery, it provides up to five hours of operation, with a quick-release cover for seamless swaps even in darkness. Features such as customisable zeroing profiles via the Pixfra app and Recoil Activated Recording (RAR) add further practicality, enabling effortless setup and automatic capture of key moments. Combined with its immersive display and rugged build, the Cetus C225 offers performance that goes well beyond its compact footprint.
