Rubicon R1 · Compact Thermal Sight

SeeFirst.

Redefining compact thermal capability for airsoft, airguns and firearms. No more bulky, ugly oldschool tech: thermals used to be big, heavy and slow. R1 is ultra-light in a small package that still packs a punch: 256×192 core, 60 Hz, just 80 grams, and it actually looks good.

What it sees

Four ways to
read the dark

The R1 renders heat in four palettes. Swap them live on the device. Same scene, four signatures. Tap through them.

THERMAL FEED - LIVE
RAINBOW HOT

Live simulation of the R1's on-board palettes. Actual field imagery varies with scene temperature.

Aim

Put the dot
where it hits

No optic to mount and co-witness. The R1 draws the reticle straight onto the thermal image. A digital dot in three sizes and three colours, and you can zero it to your rig so the dot lands exactly where your shots do. Airsofters zero it to their red dot for clean hits past 20 m; hunters zero to point of impact.

Sensor

See through foliage,
in the dark,
see them first

A 256×192 / 12µm uncooled core with sub-25 mK sensitivity picks up the faint thermal difference between a living thing and the ground it stands on. In pitch black, through smoke, across a treeline. No IR illuminator, no moonlight, nothing to give you away.

Everything
in reach

A knurled dial and two gloved-hand buttons put palette, zoom and reticle a thumb away. InstaWake motion-sensing snaps it from standby to a live image the instant you lift it. No menu diving when it matters.

60 Hz.
No smear.

A bright 1.4-inch LCD driven at a true 60 Hz keeps fast movement crisp instead of ghosting into a blur. Multiple reticle patterns, auto brightness, and White / Black / Red / Rainbow Hot palettes all live on the screen.

Field-ready

Built for the
night game

Designed around long airsoft milsim nights and recon patrols, and just as at home on a hunt. Light, sealed, and quick to wake.

Instant-on

Instant wake up

Shake-to-wake brings it from standby to a live thermal picture in an instant, so it sips battery across a full night instead of booting every time you raise it.

Aim

Zeroed on-screen dot

A digital reticle in three sizes and three colours, zeroed to your rig. No optic to mount or co-witness. See the Aim section.

Sealed & powered

IP67 · CR2 · USB-C

Rated IP67 against dust and rain, powered by a rechargeable CR2 with USB-C top-ups and spares you can swap in the dark.

Questions

Good to know

Yes. Thermal imaging detects emitted heat, not reflected light, so the R1 sees in complete darkness with no moonlight, no IR illuminator and nothing to reveal your position. It also cuts through smoke, fog and light foliage.

No separate optic to mount or co-witness. The R1 draws the reticle on the thermal screen itself: a red, blue or white dot in three sizes. You zero it to your setup. Airsoft players zero it to their existing red dot for accurate hits past 20 m; hunters zero to point of impact. Sleep/wake keeps it live without a slow boot.

About 5 hours of continuous use on a single rechargeable CR2. Recharge over USB-C, or swap in a fresh CR2 to keep going. InstaWake standby stretches real-world runtime well beyond continuous-on figures.

Rated IP67: fully sealed against dust and protected against temporary immersion. It's built for rain, mud and dew, and rated for recoil up to 1200g.

We ship within the European Union with tracked, insured delivery. R1 is currently in pre-order phase, with launch delivery timing confirmed before final payment.

Thermal imaging is an export-controlled technology and rules on ownership and use vary by country and application. We ship within the EU in line with applicable dual-use regulations; buyers are responsible for compliance with local law. Reach out if you're unsure about your jurisdiction.
