RIX Optics STRIDE ST6 Lite – High-Resolution Thermal in a Lightweight Platform
The RIX Optics STRIDE ST6 Lite Thermal Imaging Monocular is built for users who want high-end thermal performance in a compact, lightweight device. Featuring a powerful 640 thermal sensor and extended detection range, it delivers exceptional clarity and situational awareness in total darkness and challenging environments.
Designed for both handheld and helmet-mounted use, the ST6 Lite is ideal for outdoor observation where mobility and performance are equally important.
640 Thermal Sensor for Superior Image Detail
At the heart of the ST6 Lite is a 640×512 VOx thermal sensor, offering significantly improved detail over lower-resolution models.
- 640×512 resolution with 12µm pixel pitch
- NETD <20mK for high sensitivity
- Smooth 50Hz refresh rate
This allows for clearer target identification and better image quality, even in fog, rain, or dense terrain.
Extended Detection Range for Long-Distance Scanning
The ST6 Lite is built for greater reach:
- Detection range up to ~1300 metres (1423 yards)
- Ideal for mid to long-range scanning
- Provides early target detection in open terrain
This extended range makes it a strong choice for users who need more than entry-level thermal capability.
True 1× Magnification & Wide Field of View
Designed for natural viewing and movement:
- 1× base magnification for realistic perspective
- Up to 6× magnification range
- Wide 17.5° × 13.1° field of view
This combination allows users to scan large areas efficiently while maintaining situational awareness.
Compact, Lightweight & Helmet-Mount Ready
Despite its upgraded performance, the ST6 Lite remains highly portable:
- Approx. 205g (0.45 lb)
- Compact design for easy carry
- Compatible with helmet mounting systems
This makes it ideal for extended use without fatigue.
OLED Display, Recording & Connectivity
- 1024×768 OLED display for clear viewing
- Built-in photo and video recording
- 32GB internal storage
- Wi-Fi connectivity for mobile integration
These features allow you to capture, review, and share thermal footage directly from the device.
Durable & Field-Ready Construction
- IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating
- Operating temperature range -20°C to +50°C
- Powered by 18650 battery (~4 hours runtime)
- USB Type-C external power support
Built for real-world use, the ST6 Lite performs reliably in harsh conditions.
