ZEISS DTI6 40

The Zeiss DTI 6 is a cutting-edge thermal imaging camera designed to deliver exceptional image quality and performance for hunters operating in the dark. The compact unit is built with the proprietary Zeiss Smart Image Processing (ZSIP) Pro algorithm, which enhances detail recognition even in challenging thermal conditions, such as contrasting temperatures between a warm animal and a cold sky. By optimizing image contrast quadrant by quadrant and sharpening heat sources, the DTI 6 ensures precise target identification in any hunting scenario.

The camera features a 640 x 480 sensor with a 12-micron pixel pitch, paired with a high-resolution 1024 x 768 HD AMOLED display. Its DynamicZoom technology includes 1.5x or 3.0x optical magnification and up to 10x digital zoom, allowing hunters to observe fine details with remarkable accuracy. The unit was tested under winter conditions, and elk and deer were observed as far away as 1.5 miles, with detail to determine antlers. The applications for hunting, spotting, security, and even thermal management of a home or outbuildings are endless.

Ease of use is prioritized through the ErgoControl interface, which includes a scroll wheel and intuitive menu navigation, enabling quick adjustments even when wearing gloves. The eyepiece offers an immersive viewing experience, accommodating glasses wearers comfortably.

With a 6.5-hour battery life, removable battery, and smart standby mode that activates based on the device’s position, the DTI 6 provides dependable power management. Integration with the Zeiss Hunting app allows seamless data transfer via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and customizable settings for zoom speed and observation modes. Regular firmware updates keep the device at peak performance.

Adaptable to various hunting environments, the DTI 6 features two interchangeable lenses. The 40mm lens excels in open fields, while the 20mm lens is ideal for dense forests or brush. Engineered for reliability and precision, the Zeiss DTI 6 redefines thermal imaging technology for hunters. For more details, visit zeiss.com/hunting.
