The ThermTec Cyclone 315 is designed for users who want thermal capability without carrying a large handheld unit. At only 255g without battery, it stays compact enough for pack carry, jacket pockets, or one-handed use while still delivering a strong feature set for close-range observation.

The 384x288 thermal sensor works with a NETD <20mK detector to improve image detail and heat-source separation in difficult viewing conditions. Combined with the 15mm F1.0 objective lens and 50Hz frame rate, the Cyclone provides smooth thermal viewing with a detection range out to 750 metres. The AMOLED display keeps the image clear while reducing eye strain during longer sessions.

ThermTec has also integrated AI-assisted features aimed at improving practical field use. Multi-target distance detection automatically measures the distance to multiple heat sources within view, while the AI calibration system continuously learns from environmental conditions to help maintain stable image quality over time.

The curved housing and balanced control layout make the unit comfortable for left or right-handed operation. Buttons are positioned for quick adjustment without changing grip, which helps when moving between viewing modes or colour palettes during active observation.

Power comes from a replaceable rechargeable 18650 battery, delivering up to 10 hours of operation per charge. Carrying a spare battery gives extended runtime without relying on fixed internal power systems. USB-C charging and charging while in use add flexibility for vehicle, power bank, or field charging setups.

With onboard recording, app connectivity, multiple viewing modes and IP67 protection, the Cyclone 315 offers a lightweight thermal option that stays practical for regular outdoor use rather than becoming another bulky piece of gear.
