One Scope. Three Roles. Infinite Possibilities.

The DNT Hydra HS225 sets a new benchmark in thermal imaging with unmatched versatility, performance, and build quality. Whether used as a standalone scope, clip-on thermal, or handheld monocular, Hydra adapts to any mission.

Precision-machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, it’s built for the harshest environments and recoil-resistant up to .50 BMG. This is one of the most capable and best-valued thermal systems in its class.

🔧 Key Features:

🔥 Super Resolution Thermal Clarity

Powered by a 12μm ≤18mk thermal sensor and DNT’s AI-enhanced Super Resolution algorithm, Hydra delivers ultra-sharp images—even during digital zoom—eliminating the blur typically associated with zoomed-in thermals.

🎯 Standalone Scope Mode

A true riflescope experience with a 1024×768 micro-OLED display, rapid-adjust eyepiece, 65mm eye relief, and generous eye box—for a comfortable, intuitive shooting experience.

🔄 Clip-On Mode

Transform your LPVO or low-magnification prism optic into a thermal sight. Ideal for staying in the lower half of your LPVO’s mag range for optimal clarity.

🤲 Handheld Mode

Weighing just 13.7oz (389g), Hydra doubles as a compact handheld scanner with ergonomic contours for secure grip and easy carry.

🔋 Interchangeable Power

Runs on lightweight, rechargeable flat-top 18650 batteries, offering up to 5.5 hours of runtime per cell. Quick swap for continuous operation.
