The Burris Thermal Handheld H19 Gen 2 400x300 12um (Model: BTH19 v2, SKU: BO300645) is a high-performance thermal handheld monocular designed for real-time observation, pest control, game scouting, and search-and-rescue operations. Built around a 400x300 VOx thermal sensor with a 12µm pixel pitch and a sensitive <50mK NETD, this device delivers clear thermal imaging to a 1280x960 resolution color LCOS display at a smooth 50Hz refresh rate. It features a 19mm F1.0 manual-focus objective lens that provides a wide 14.4° × 10.8° field of view, making it highly optimized for scanning wide bush areas and detecting close-to-medium-range targets.

Key Features

• Hot Tracking: Automatically identifies and tracks the hottest thermal signature in the field of view up to a distance of 750 yards.
• Variable Magnification: Offers an optical magnification range of 1.8x to 7.2x, utilizing a 1x to 4x smooth digital zoom.
• Color Palettes: Features five distinct color display modes, including White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Green Hot, and Blue Hot.
• Mobile Connectivity: Built-in Wi-Fi connects to the BurrisConnect mobile application for real-time video streaming, photo capture, and remote device settings adjustment.
• Ruggedised Chassis: Features an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating to survive harsh outdoor environments, measuring 249 mm × 61 mm × 70 mm.
• Charging & Interface: Charges via a standard 5V USB-C interface compatible with Australian USB wall chargers and power banks. Includes integrated M1913 Picatinny rails and a standard 1/4-20 threaded tripod mount.

Who is the Thermal Handheld H19 Gen 2 400x300 12um for?

• Professional pest controllers — scanning wide bush areas benefit from the lightweight 623-gram design of this thermal handheld monocular, allowing for comfortable, fatigue-free operation during extended night patrols.
• Hunters scouting game — scouting at close-to-medium ranges can instantly identify and follow target heat signatures using the hot-tracking capability of this thermal handheld monocular, which detects targets up to 750 yards away.
• Search-and-rescue operators — working in low-visibility environments require the high-contrast imaging of a 400x300 VOx thermal sensor with a 12µm pixel pitch to clearly resolve human-sized signatures.

Less suitable for: Long-range detection beyond 500 meters, where a thermal handheld monocular with a larger 35mm lens configuration and narrower field of view would serve the buyer better; it is also not suitable for users requiring direct firearm recoil mounting, where a dedicated recoil-rated thermal scope is required instead of this observation-only device.
