Guide TE211M 256X192 Thermal Monocular 10MM 1.2X Touchscreen

The Guide TE211M is a pocket-size thermal monocular with a touchscreen, affordable thermal you run with a tap.

It runs a 256x192 12-micron sensor and 10mm lens at 1.2x base magnification with a touchscreen display, 30mK NETD. Pocketable and simple (no built-in rangefinder).

Thermal reads heat, not light, so a monocular works in broad daylight as well as full dark. By day it picks game out of thick brush, shade, and tree lines where a regular optic sees nothing; after dark it lights up the whole field by body heat.

A handheld scanner is the piece most hunters reach for first: scan a field, a tree line, or the timber to LOCATE game before you ever shoulder a rifle. Great for spotting raccoon (coon) and squirrels up in the trees, picking out feral hogs, coyotes (yotes), bobcat and fox across a field, checking livestock and property, and finding downed game after the shot. Pairs with any rifle setup, no mounting needed.

Which Guide monocular is right for you?

The TE211M is Guide's pocket entry scanner with a touchscreen for quick menu control, the same compact 256 unit as the TE211 with tap operation. Step up to the TE421 for a 400x300 sensor, or the 640x512 TD and Kodiak TK monoculars for more detail, reach, and a rangefinder.

Common Questions

Does a thermal monocular work in the daytime?

Yes. Thermal sees heat, not light, so it works day or night. In daylight it's deadly for finding game bedded in thick cover or shade.

Is it good for coon and squirrel hunting?

Yes. A handheld thermal is ideal for spotting raccoon and squirrels up in the trees and tracking them at night, then locating them again for the shot.

Can I mount it on a rifle?

No, this is a handheld scanner, not a weapon sight. Use it to locate game, then make the shot with your scope. It pairs with any rifle setup.

Guide vs Pulsar or ATN, how do they stack up?

Guide builds the same 12-micron sensors found in units costing far more, which is why hunters pick them for the value. Call us and we'll compare honestly.
