Pixfra M2 Series Monocular

The Pixfra Mile 2 — Your First Thermal Monocular, From $890

The Pixfra Mile 2 is a handheld thermal monocular built to do one thing brilliantly and affordably: find game in the dark. Raise it to your eye, sweep a paddock or a tree-line, and warm-bodied animals light up instantly — pigs, foxes, deer and rabbits, picked straight out of grass, shadow and total darkness.

It is the most affordable way into thermal that Gun Bar stocks. From just $890, the Mile 2 is a genuine, capable thermal monocular — not a stripped-back gadget — with a sharp OLED display, six colour palettes, built-in WiFi and onboard recording. Compact and light enough to live in a jacket pocket, it is the thermal you will actually carry.

Three models cover every budget and every patch of country — a 256 or 384 thermal sensor on a 15mm, 19mm or 25mm lens, detecting heat out to 1,300m. There is no laser rangefinder in the Mile 2 line; it is the pure, simple, scan-and-find thermal monocular, kept lean to keep it affordable.

Pixfra is part of the Dahua group — one of the world’s largest imaging manufacturers — and the Mile 2 is supported in Australia by C.R. Kennedy, with Gun Bar a Pixfra Pro Stockist. A 3-year warranty, genuine local backing, and the sharpest price in thermal. In stock now and ready for immediate dispatch, from $890.

The Most Affordable Way Into Thermal

Thought thermal was out of reach? The Mile 2 starts at $890.

Thermal has a reputation for being expensive — and plenty of hunters who would dearly love a thermal monocular have been quoted a price that sent them straight back to a spotlight. The Mile 2 exists to end that.

From $890, it is the most affordable thermal device Gun Bar stocks — and, crucially, it is a genuine one. The Mile 2 is not a watered-down toy at a low price. It uses a real vanadium-oxide thermal sensor, a crisp OLED display, six colour palettes and 8× digital zoom, with built-in WiFi and onboard recording. It detects the heat of pigs, foxes and deer through grass, scrub and total darkness, exactly as thermal should.

It is made for the hunter coming to thermal for the first time — the budget-conscious buyer, the one who wants to dip a toe in and give it a crack, the shooter who has heard what thermal can do and wants to find out first-hand. The Mile 2 removes the one barrier that was keeping you out: the price.

And it is backed properly — a 3-year warranty, with C.R. Kennedy supporting it here in Australia. An honest price, real capability, genuine local backing. That is the Mile 2.

Small, Light, And Always With You

The best thermal monocular is the one you actually have on you.

A thermal monocular only earns its keep if it is with you when the animal appears. A big, heavy unit gets left in the truck. The Mile 2 was designed to be carried.

It is genuinely compact and light — from under 300g — with a slim, simple shape that drops into a jacket pocket or a chest rig and is forgotten until you need it. One-handed to raise and use, quick to power up, intuitive to operate: it comes out the moment something needs a closer look, and goes away again just as fast.

It is just as at home off the hunt, too — checking stock in a far paddock, spotting wildlife, keeping an eye on the property line after dark. Light, weatherproof to IP67 and good for a long night on a charge, the Mile 2 is the thermal you keep within reach.

No laser rangefinder, no clutter, no bulk — the Mile 2 keeps it lean. That is what keeps it light, simple and affordable.

New To Thermal? Here’s How A Thermal Monocular Works

If thermal is new to you, this is the section to read.

A thermal monocular does not amplify light the way traditional night vision does — it detects heat. Every living animal radiates infrared heat, and the Mile 2’s thermal sensor turns that heat into a clear image on its display. That is why thermal works in total darkness: it is not using light at all, so there is nothing for the night to take away.

In practice, a warm pig, fox or deer shows up brightly against a cooler background — even bedded in shadow, standing in long grass or screened by light scrub. Thermal cuts straight through the camouflage that game relies on, and it works by day as well as by night.

When you compare thermal monoculars, two numbers matter most. Sensor resolution — 256×192 or 384×288 — sets how much detail you see; a 384 sensor resolves a clearer, more identifiable shape at distance. NETD is thermal sensitivity, measured in millikelvin (mK), and a lower number is better. The Mile 2’s 384 models run a sharp 25mK; the entry 256 model runs 35mK — both perfectly capable of doing the core job, which is finding warm animals in the dark.

A thermal monocular is a detection tool, not an aiming device — you use it to find and observe game, then engage with your rifle and its own sight. It is the perfect partner to a riflescope, and for most hunters it is the very first thermal device they buy.

The Mile 2 Against The Big Names

Here is the Mile 2’s real story. Set its three models against the closest thermal monoculars from HikMicro and Pulsar — same sensor class, same job — and the whole Pixfra lineup sits below where the established brands even begin. Genuine thermal capability, at a fraction of the price.
