Leica Calonox 2 Sight LRF
The Leica Calonox 2 Sight LRF thermal sighting camera is not just a further development – it’s a genuine benchmark in terms of design and function. Completely designed and made in Germany, it wins users over with its compact ergonomic shape, practical, intuitive buttons, and the world’s first fully integrated laser rangefinder (LRF), which can be activated very easily – either on the device, or via optional remote control. The high-quailty European sensor from LYNRED, together with Leica’s proven image processing software (Leica Image Optimization – LIO) ensures even sharper images, rich in contrast and detail. What’s more, the Calonox 2 Sight LRF no longer needs individual calibration, but can be used out of the box and swapped between rifles.
Lecia Calonox 2 Sight LRF Features
For the first time with integrated laser rangefinder
The Leica Calonox 2 Sight LRF thermal sighting camera is a genuine benchmark in terms of design and function. Designed and made in Germany, the Leica Calonox 2 Sight LRF wins users over with the world’s first fully-integrated laser rangefinder (LRF) for up to 1200 meters – enabling safe and ethical hunting.
Large field of view and very detailed image
Hunters and nature observers can count on natural, sharp, high-contrast images, thanks to the high-quality LYNRED sensor and the processing software that’s been further refined by Leica (LIO – Leica Image Optimization). Together with a large field of view, objects with the standard size of 66.9 in (1.7 meters) can be clearly found at up to 2417 yrd (2210 meters). Recognition is possible at 842 yrd (770 meters) and reliable identification at 427 yrd (390 meters).
Easy to swap between different rifles
Thanks to highest-precision components and a sophisticated manufacturing process, the Leica Calonox 2 Sight LRF arrives precisely centered. As a result, the clip-on camera no longer needs individual calibration, but can be used out-of-the-box and swapped between rifles. Point of impact does not change, even if the device is repeatedly removed and remounted.
Light & compact unit with the right riflescope
The Calonox 2 Sight LRF can be used with most commercially-available riflescopes. Combining it with the Leica Amplus 6 3-18x44i L-4w BDC (MoA) creates a perfect unit: a compact overall system for night hunting. Mounting is done via standard adapters, which are available for almost all scopes.
Optional remote control for activating the laser rangefinder
The fully-integrated laser rangefinder (LRF) can be easily activated via optional remote control. This remote control can be conveniently attached to the comb or forestock and activates either the rangefinder or the photo/video function.
Software-based shutter is silent and smooth
Conventional thermal cameras periodically recalibrate themselves with an audible “click” and a frozen frame. The Leica Calonox 2 thermal cameras are designed to be “shutterless”. Leica software enables silent and instantaneous recalibration – without freezing the image.
Easy to switch from day to night mode
Like all Leica products, the Leica Calonox 2 Sight LRF can be operated intuitively. A large, sturdy metal control ring turns the device on – and makes it easy to switch from day to night mode. A latching magnetic switch keeps the unit powered up during a switchover, thus saving time.
