OUR GECKO PAN-TILT SYSTEM PROVIDES STRONG PERFORMANCE AND OPERATION SIMPLICITY. THIS SET HELPS YOU WITH ANIMAL AND DANGER DETECTION THANKS TO 360° SWIVEL RANGE AND APP CONNECTION.
The compact and feature-oriented design, as well as the 2-axis control system via app and remote control, makes the GECKO 35 pan-tilt system an indispensable part of any standard equipment for hunters, boaters and the security industry
Thanks to sensor-controlled and stabilized 360 degree rotation and 55 degree tilt range the system allows accurate detection of any movement within the radius of its own location.
Gecko 35 Pro has 12μm thermal imaging detector with a 640 x 512 sensor resolution, a 35 mm focal length, a built-in digital compass and a motion sensor or replaceable battery pack, a diopter adjustment, and ergonomic controls. The device is supplied with a quickly removable 18650 Li-ion battery pack, which enables the device to be used for up to 6h.
For a better visual experience, Gecko 35 Pro supports cold and warm image hues. With the cold hue setting the device performance is for a clearer imaging quality with rich details and highlight targets. The warm hue setting generates softer imaging to avoid eye fatigue brought by long time usage.
The PIP function enables you to view a magnified digital zoom image in a separate ‘window’ simultaneously with the main image.
Gecko 35 Pro thermal imager is equipped with a function for video recording and photographing an observed image onto the 32GB built-in memory card. Together with the system application it allows you to have an enhanced surveillance experience.
The system is equipped with Bluetooth joystick (mini remote control) that fits comfortably in the hand and can be charged via USB. This allows the user to be controlled via the remote control or app.
Find the APP in Google Play and the Apple store.
How to use the app?
1. Switch on the Wi-Fi function of the device Gecko 35 Pro.
2. With your Android device find the Wi-Fi network of the device named Gecko 35 Pro_XXXXX-XXXXXX, where the “X” are letters and numbers.
3. Connect with the Gecko device. The initial password is: 12345678
4. With ViewFinder from the App, you can live stream the scenes from your Gecko 35 Pro to your Android device.

Gecko 35 Pro offers a variety of image modes for different environments, situations and personal preferences.
WHITE HOT
White Hot is a versatile choice for observing urban areas and shifting landscapes that displays warmer objects in white and cooler objects in black.
BLACK HOT
Black Hot displays warmer objects in black and cooler ones in white, which makes it a preferred mode among hunters and law enforcement.
RED HOT
Red Hot is a recommended mode for prolonged observation. The red-black image minimizes blue light emissions from the display and reduces eyes strain from extended usage.
HOT TARGET HIGHLIGHT
Increases contrast for better highlighting of the warm objects. Suitable for observing animals in bushes and birds, where we have vegetation, making it difficult to detect and locate objects.
IRONBOW
Suitable palette for recognition & identification of the objects in large open areas, helping to highlight warm objects that are colored in warm colors against the cold colors of the environment background.
RAINBOW
Even areas with different temperatures of an object are colored in different color shades, which increase the chances for recognition & identification.
Gecko 35 Pro is an incredible asset for observing and securing large building sites and extended living areas.
Gecko 35 Pro is the perfect addition to your equipment set for your outdoor hobbies as it will give you an upgraded sense of your surroundings by allowing you to navigate in the toughest atmospheric conditions.
Gecko 35 Pro is the perfect tool for the observing the migration and calculating the population of animals in extended areas. It can even ensure the security of livestock in farms during harvesting periods.
Gecko 35 Pro helps to determine the exact distance to the spotted object.

GECKO 35 PRODUCT REVIEW
To ensure your utmost experience with our product Gecko 35 Pro comes bundled with: portable bag, type C USB cable, HDMI cable, power adapter, battery charger, hand strap, neck strap and lens cleaning cloth.
VIPER is the smallest, lightest, and most compact device in its class, measuring at less than 9 ounces (without battery). Its sophisticated low-profile clip-on design eliminates the need to remove your day sighting equipment since the device mounts directly in line with a standard daytime rifle scopes without the need of any tools. Most importantly, you do not need to re-zero the rifle every time you change the sight, which means point of impact always stays the same.
VIPER provides uncompromised precision in the repeatability of the point of impact. Due to our rigorous individual device testing, we can guarantee a standard deviation of up to 1 inch per 100 yards distance without alignment or zero deviation per 100-yard distance with alignment performed.
By matching our powerful F 1.2 lens with a sensitive cutting-edge sensor, VIPER provides incredible detection capabilities. A standard object of 5’10” can be spotted over 1500 yards away even in challenging outdoor conditions.
Developed by Nitehog, the A-Core is an ultra-compact imaging engine, based on cutting-edge hardware solutions and dedicated video processing algorithms, that provides superior image quality and proven precision in the hardest environmental conditions.
By using a sophisticated germanium objective lens with scratch resistant hard carbon coating and a 12-micron pixel pitch, the VIPER provides the fastest 60 Hz frame rate on the market, which means crystal clear observation of any object with no lag.
The Nitehog Image Razor technology enables our versatile software processing which applies different enhancements to ensure clear and sharp vision in a variety of environmental conditions such as fog, rain, snow, smoke, and total darkness. The level of those alterations depends on the customer’s preference to the image they see and can be applied to any scene.

Boomslang is an enhanced thermal imaging sight providing image clarity and precision for hunters who value tradition and pursue technology development.
Boomslang’s 60mm focal length and 60 Hz frame rate ensure a crystal clear picture and observation of any object with no lag. The sight provides 3.0x optical and 2x4x digital magnification, to be sure that absolutely no target will be missed.
Image details are ensured by the 640×480 sensor with a 12-micron pixel pitch and a high-quality display with 1024×768 pixel resolution. A rotary on/off switch with tactile clicks mimics the traditional magnification bracelet, three ergonomic control buttons are carefully designed for easy access and maximum comfort when in operation and on top we developed the thermal sight with two user-programmable buttons allowing quick access to selected features.
By matching our powerful F 1.2 lens with a sensitive cutting-edge sensor, BOOMSLANG provides incredible detection capabilities. A standard object of 5’10” can be spotted within more than 2500 yards away even in challenging outdoor conditions.
BOOMSLANG has carefully passed a factory test before it is carefully packed in the box. We guarantee a standard deviation of up to 1 inch per 100 yards distance without any additional need of alignment.
BOOMSLANG is designed and developed by our in-house engineers. The turn-key production process allows us manufacture state-of-art products to meet every hunter’s requirements. A mobile app and own LRF (Laser Range Finder) is one of the key features that are coming soon.
