[SHOT 2025] New ThermNight Optics from DNT
The number of thermal optic options on the market has expanded exponentially over the last couple of years and if SHOT 2025 is any indicator then the thermal sector shows no sign of slowing down any time soon with a host of interesting new options. DNT offers a range of thermal and night vision optics including their ThermNight series. At SHOT 2025 they had the full ThermNight range on display.
The ThermNight TNC225R incorporates a 12x12um, uncooled infrared image thermal sensor with a 50 FPS frame rate and 3-12x digital magnification (while the TNC335R has 2.5x-10 and the TNC635R has 1.5-6x) alongside a 1920x1080 pixels SONY STARVIS 2 visible light sensor with a 60FPS Frame Rate. It has digital day night optical magnification capability of 5x-20x.
Display modes include Day/Night Vision, Thermal, or a hybrid. The optic’s Picture-In-Picture mode combines the thermal sensors output and night vision output into a single image, overlaying one over the other to aid target identification. The ThermNight series are WiFi and Bluetooth enabled and have USB-C connectivity, they have 32gb of onboard memory.
Below is an example of the ThermNight's picture in picture hybrid mode:
The TermNight series also incorporates a laser rangefinder capable of ranging from 5 to 1100 yards. This is paired with the integrated DNT app, which has an advanced ballistic calculator which can quickly compute ballistic solutions which are then represented in either dial-in or holdover corrections in the display using a disturbed reticle. The optic is also recoil rated for rounds up to .50 BMG and have IP67 level environmental protection.
The base model, the TNC225R, offers some interesting capabilities for an MSRP of $1,099.00. The TNC335R comes in at $1,999.99 and the flagship TNC635R retails for $2,775.00.

That’s a lot of buttons. I hope it doesn’t have a red button for a self destruction option.
