A thermal small enough for a pistol

Utilizing a FLIR core, Torrey Pines Logic has developed a affordable thermal imager that is no larger than a mini red dot sight. There will be two models available; a wrist mount standard model and a ruggedized military model.

The standard model (T1-0S) and military model (T10-M) differ in a number of ways:  The military model refreshes at 30 Hz, versus  9 Hz for the standard model, has a protective shroud (similar to EoTech weapon sights), and utilizes a quick detach mounting system. The T10-S weighs 50 grams without a battery, with the more rugged T10-M weighing 109 grams

The weapon mountable T10M is durable enough to be mounted on a .50 caliber machine gun. Both models utilize a single transverse mounted CR123 battery with 8 hours expected life. The rep noted the T10 met IP67 waterproofing standards, which is 1 meter for 30 minutes.  The range of the thermal display is likely to be limited due to its small form factor. When evaluating the micro thermal's imaging performance, though, the thermal imager that's small enough to have with you will always outperform the big one you left in the rear.

Both models of the Torrey Pines Logic T10 are expected to be available  March 1st, with the standard model T10S costing $499 and the ruggedized military model T10M priced at $699.
