The iRay RH25 V2 has been our go-to “budget” thermal for a few years now, thanks to how much it can do at a reasonable price. Now iRay has updated it and moved it under the Nocpix brand as the Micro 2, available in two versions. The H25 brings a Gen-II 640×512 sensor, 21% less latency, and 6.5 hours of runtime, while the Ultra steps up to a 1280×960 sensor and nearly double the field of view.
The Micro 2 runs in four configurations: helmet-mounted, handheld for scanning, clipped on in front of a day optic, or as a standalone thermal optic. It also steps up clip-on support to 10×, up from the RH25 V2’s 6×, and pairs a 2560×2560 AMOLED display with a compact housing.
See both Micro 2 units in action. In this overview, we demonstrate the H25 and the Ultra so you can see how each one performs before you pick yours.
We break down all three thermals side by side: the iRay RH25 V2 that’s been our go-to for years, its direct successor the Nocpix Micro 2 H25, and the premium Micro 2 Ultra. See how they stack up on sensor, latency, field of view, runtime, and more, so you can pick the right one for how you’ll actually use it.
