Your Rifle's mate: InfiRay Clip M series CML25

Clip on capability is super handy, especially if you hot swap your scope between different rifles. Given the flexibility of the platform, a clip-on model is the perfect thermal scope for a hunting rifle, since it gives you the ability to quickly change out your sighting system.

If you're on the market for a clip-on thermal scope, the InfiRay Clip M series CML25 is the way to go.


If you check the lens quality, you'll be happy to find that InfiRay used a germanium lens in the CML25 that's fully multi-coated for absolute infrared light transmission.


The raw infrared signature is detected using an InfiRay thermal camera, which delivers best-in-class thermal detection. The heat signature is drawn in a 384x288 detector array, and displayed on a high-resolution 1024x768 AMOLED screen.


Additionally, the CML25 offers 4 different color modes to maximize performance in whatever environment you're in. In short, you're getting the top-notch performance when it comes to image quality.


The CML25 uses one CR123 (3.7V) or one 16650 battery as a power source. One CR123 battery will net you 1.5 hours of continuous operation. Furthermore, the 16650 battery will support CML25 for 4 hours operation. Keep in mind that these batteries can be tough to find at just any store, so you may need to keep a stockpile of them around. When comparing with other similar scopes in the market, the CML25 performed decent operation time.


What surprise me was that even though combined with many electronics, the CML25 runs light weight. It weighs around 0.6 pounds. However, it's still perfectly manageable for hiking or shooting from an unsupported position, it just releases burden from your shoulder. As what InfiRay announced, this scope attachment is "Small and Powerful".


For suiting your daylight scope, CML25 is packed with a M30×1.0 adapter ring. The M30 suits most daylight scopes. It also has two short picatinny rails on each side, providing extra extensibility. The CML25's camera does not need re-zeroing once attached to day scope, as InfiRay announced all you need is just "Clip and Shoot".


Once detached from scope, the CML25 could be used as a thermal monocular and outdoor tool: compass.


Lastly, the CML25 has a fair amount of video functionality. This scope can record video and take pictures as camera, and then export it to an external storage device. Additionally, the CML25 can be set up as a game camera or surveillance device, and controlled via smart phone app.


All in all, light weight, long operation time, multiple color modes, very clean imaging and no-zeroing, the CML25 is definitely the thermal scope you want to clip onto your rifle, especially if you're looking for amazing performance and versatility.

More than a thermal scope: review of InfiRay DL13

Image
The InfiRay DV DL13 is an innovative line of compact thermal imaging monoculars . These pocket-sized devices are excellent when trying to observe cryptic species or when surveying in dark or foggy conditions. The InfiRay DL13 uses a 384 x 288 thermal sensor to detect and night vision devices this process is not determinant on light conditions and the scope can be used in bright exposure as well as at night. The thermal sensor has a dramatically reduced pixel pitch of 17µm, which results in images with smoother edges, more detailed thermal mapping and an improved ability to detect objects compared to an equivalent sized sensor with a 20µm pixel pitch. InfiRay DV series features fast germanium 13mm with 0.85x native magnification manual focus and up to 4x digital zoom, instant start up, 5 color palette modes including popular "Black Hot" and "White Hot". Features such as instant start up means you can quickly use the device when necessary. The InfiRay DL13 is designe...

User Experience of InfiRay HOLO Series

A Brief Review of InfiRay Thermal Scope HL13 My buddies have other brand products that I've used, both 384 and 640 units and I'm quite familiar with their qualities and quirks as a comparison. I purchased this immediately after Christmas and I've had this in the field 3-4 times now and it's awesome!   Rock solid mount, never freezes (knock on wood) and the battery life with CR123 batteries has been STELLAR. It takes a while to get used to the auto-nuc feature, but I like it. You can also select manual calibration while you want to. Consider with the tiny model size, this scope done well in detecting thermal target for mid to long distance. Recently I've been able to positively ID hogs at 500 yards, which beats my friend's 384 unit all over the place.   All functions are intuitive and easy to use, even though there are basically only two buttons to manipulate its menu. You can simply find major functions via pushing and pressing one button. Some unique fu...

Review of InfiRay Saim SCT35 InfiRay comes up a lot in the thermal scopes conversation because their gear is popular and receives positive reviews. The Saim SCT35 by InfiRay indicates strong trends: the reliable thermal camera, clear image quality and solid build quality. First up: let's have a look at its lens quality. Saim SCT35 equipped with a germanium lens that's fully multi-coated with an infrared-transmitting coating. The raw infrared light that reaches the sensor is as pure as possible, and generates a very clean image. Next: electronic image quality. The camera produces 384x288 resolution heat map from sensor, that's displayed on a 1280x960 LCOS screen, so you get a great image that you can work with, and will hold up to years of use. Both size of sensor resolution and display screen are top ranked among thermal scopes alike. The display can be set to one of 4 color modes to help with target acquisition in different environments. There are also four levels of cont...
