Although ultra-compact thermal optics have rapidly evolved over the past few years, the new Mars mini pushes that evolution even further. Weighing only 6.35oz (180g), it delivers true dual-platform performance, mount it like a red-dot on your pistol for unlimited eye relief, or attach the dedicated eyepiece for 110 mm rifle eye relief and precision shooting at distance.

A high-sensitivity <20 mK 640×512 @ 12 μm thermal sensor paired with a fast 60 Hz refresh rate produces remarkably crisp, fluid imaging. Built on the shutterless architecture inherited from the Mars MT1000LRF, the Mars mini eliminates mechanical NUC interruptions and remains fully immune to recoil, shock, and vibration.

Two interchangeable lenses: 19 mm for close-quarters speed and 25 mm for extended-range engagements, offer unmatched versatility in the field. The integrated 1,500-meter laser rangefinder and on-board ballistic calculator provide instant, accurate firing solutions, dramatically reducing guesswork during long-range shots.

A round 720×720 touchscreen with auto brightness gives intuitive control over palettes, reticles, scene modes, and digital zoom, while tactile top buttons provide reliable operation with gloves. Shot-Activated Recording, Picture-in-Picture mode, 8 color palettes, and 5 environment-specific scene modes further enhance the shooting experience.

Powered by a removable 18350 battery with up to 9 hours of included runtime and optional 18500 compatibility, the Mars mini is built for extended missions. With IPX6-rated protection, multi-mount RMR compatibility, and a rugged shutterless core, the Mars mini sets a new benchmark for ultra-compact thermal optics, small enough for a pistol, capable enough for a rifle.
