The Drone PRO is intended for use on a variety of hunting and sporting weapons equipped with a Picatinny/
Weaver rail. Having sensitivity for both near-infrared and visible light, the high performance CCD imaging
system of the Drone PRO provides round-the-clock and all weather target detection and discrimination.
The Drone PRO is effective regardless of light conditions - in daylight, under natural lighting, at nighttime.
The Drone PRO is available in two versions, with magnifications of 5x and 10x. The magnification of the
Drone PRO 5x can be changed to 10x by using an optional 1.8x afocal lens attachment.
The Drone PRO is powered by two CR 123A (2×3V) batteries. An external 6 VDC/1A power source can also
be used to power the Drone PRO.
The Drone PRO can be controlled by a wireless remote control that fastens to the weapon.
A detachable, long-range IR illuminator provides additional lighting and enables the use of the Drone PRO
in extremely low light conditions or total darkness.
The Drone PRO is equipped with a standard NTSC/PAL video input/output function that makes it possible
to connect to an external video monitor, or to record images for field documentation or training purposes.
It also allows the transmission of data from a remote display to that of the Drone PRO.
The Drone PRO can be used in conjunction with other Armasight equipment, such as the Recorder DT
Digital Video Recorder and MCS Miniature Collimating Sight. Both can be mounted onto the Drone PRO’s
Picatinny/Weaver rail or detachable platform ring.
Extremely reliable and versatile, the Drone PRO is a valuable, multifunctional addition to any security or
hunting weapon platform.
