DNT Optics HS650R Hydra Matte Black 2-8x 50mm 640x512, 12 Microns, 50 Hz Resolution - SKU: HS650R - UPC: 850065096490
Product Description
The DNT Optics HS650R Hydra is a premium long-range 5-in-1 multi-function thermal sighting system engineered to operate as a dedicated riflescope, front-mounted clip-on thermal optic, handheld scouting monocular, laser rangefinder, and ballistic solver. Powered by an ultra-sensitive 640x512 VOx uncooled thermal sensor featuring a 12-micron pixel pitch and a ≤18mK NETD thermal rating, this long-range thermal core delivers superior thermal detail, target identification, and environmental resolution across extended engagement distances.
Equipped with an enlarged 50mm F/1.0 Germanium objective lens, the HS650R provides a 2x base optical magnification with smooth digital zoom scaling up to 8x, maximizing light transmission and long-distance identification performance. The thermal core works in tandem with DNT's proprietary Image Super Resolution (ISR) processing algorithm to minimize digital pixelation and preserve sharp target edge geometry across zoomed magnifications. Integrated directly into the housing is an onboard laser rangefinder capable of measuring target distances from 5 out to 1,300 yards. Real-time distance data feeds directly into the onboard DNT Ballistic Engine to calculate instant holdover solutions directly on the high-resolution 1024x768 Micro-OLED display.
Precision-machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the HS650R is IP67 waterproof, dustproof, and shock-rated up to .50 BMG recoil forces. Powered by field-replaceable, flat-top 18650 rechargeable batteries, the unit supports extended field deployment alongside external 5V USB-C power delivery. Onboard Wi-Fi integration pairs with the DNT mobile application for zero management, ballistic profile updates, and real-time video recording.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct mounting to standard 1913 Picatinny receiver rails via included quick-detach mount; compatible as a clip-on with day optics using appropriate mounting adapter rings.
- Confirm host rifle is verified safe, magazine removed, and chamber physically inspected empty before installation.
- Insert a fully charged flat-top 18650 lithium-ion battery into the battery compartment, verifying correct terminal polarity.
- Attach the included quick-detach mount to the optic body and clamp securely onto the host receiver's Picatinny rail section.
- Adjust the QD lever tension thumb nuts to eliminate all rail play and physical movement.
- Power on the optic, adjust the rapid-focus eyepiece diopter to clarify the OLED reticle display, and turn the 50mm objective focus ring to sharpen target thermal signatures. Configure ballistic profile parameters via the DNT app before live-fire sight-in.
