The marine electronics leader, Raymarine presents its new hand-held TH24 and TH32 Thermal Marine Scopes, which bring boaties the possibility to see safely in the dark, wherever they are on board.
The new Raymarine TH24 and TH32 Thermal Marine Scopes use the same proven thermal imaging technology as Raymarine’s premium T Series fixed mount cameras. However, they are smaller, portable and more affordable and can be used anywhere from the bow to the stern or even taken onto a tender or PWC.
“This makes then an incredible safety aid,” says Cameron Burch, Raymarine product manager at New Zealand distributor Lusty and Blundell Ltd. “Because these thermal scopes use heat rather than light to ‘see’, they can pick out rocks, buoys, floating debris and other hazards, even in complete darkness.
“More importantly, they can quickly help find someone in the water, a real bonus when just a few minutes can make the difference between life and death.”
The new Raymarine thermal scopes are very easy to use and weigh just 340 grams. However, they are also very rugged and waterproof to IP-67 standard and come with a choice of resolution: 240×180 or 320×240.
The TH24 also has a freeze frame feature, while there is a two-times digital zoom on the TH32.
Raymarine’s new thermal scopes are available nationwide through Lusty and Blundell’s network of leading marine dealers.
