FALCON MEDUSA M5v2-650L with Optical Zoom

Product detailed description

FALCON MEDUSA M5v2-650L – A New Generation of Thermal Imaging with True Optical Zoom

A technologically advanced thermal riflescope that combines high thermal sensor sensitivity, fast optics, and an exceptionally high-resolution OLED display with an innovative 2.5–7.5× continuous optical zoom system. Unlike conventional thermal riflescopes with fixed optical magnification, the MEDUSA M5v2 allows users to adjust true optical magnification over a threefold range without losing the sensor's native resolution due to digital zoom. An integrated laser rangefinder, ballistic calculator, and classic 30 mm tube design complete a device intended for year-round use in demanding hunting conditions.

Highly Sensitive 640 × 512 px Sensor with NETD ≤ 15 mK

At the heart of the device is a modern uncooled VOx thermal sensor with a resolution of 640 × 512 px, a 12 μm pixel pitch, and exceptional thermal sensitivity of NETD ≤ 15 mK. The low NETD value enables the detection of very small temperature differences between an observed object and its surroundings. This results in more detailed rendering of wildlife, vegetation, and terrain features, even under low thermal contrast conditions. This capability is particularly valuable during observations in high humidity, on cold nights, or in challenging atmospheric conditions. The fast 50 mm F0.9 germanium lens provides high infrared transmission and helps deliver high-contrast images with fine details.

True 2.5–7.5× Optical Zoom Without Loss of Sensor Resolution

One of the most significant technological advantages of the FALCON MEDUSA M5v2-650L is its integrated true optical zoom system, offering a magnification range of 2.5× to 7.5×. While conventional thermal imaging devices rely on digital magnification, which crops the image and reduces the amount of available image information, optical zoom changes magnification directly through the optical system. As a result, the sensor's native 640 × 512 px resolution is maintained throughout the optical zoom range. At the base magnification of 2.5×, users benefit from a wider view of the observed scene, making it easier to locate wildlife and track moving objects. At the maximum optical magnification of 7.5×, distant objects can be observed in greater detail without the resolution loss associated with digital cropping. The device also provides digital zoom for additional image magnification according to the user's needs.

Key benefits of optical zoom:

• True 2.5–7.5× optical magnification.

• Threefold optical zoom range.

• Preservation of native sensor resolution throughout optical zooming.

• Wider field of view at minimum magnification.

• More detailed observation of distant objects at maximum magnification.

• Ability to combine optical and digital magnification.

Large 1.03″ OLED Display with 2560 × 2560 px Resolution

The FALCON MEDUSA M5v2-650L features a large 1.03-inch OLED display with an exceptional resolution of 2560 × 2560 px. The high pixel density provides finely rendered thermal images, sharp outlines of observed objects, and excellent readability of the user interface. OLED technology delivers deep blacks, high contrast, and fast response times, contributing to comfortable observation in complete darkness. The large display area allows important information to be presented clearly, including current magnification, measured distance, battery status, and ballistic data. The PiP (Picture-in-Picture) function enables users to display a magnified section of the image while maintaining an overview of the surrounding scene.

Integrated Laser Rangefinder with a Range of Up to 1,200 Meters

The M5v2-650L features an integrated laser rangefinder (LRF) with a measurement range of up to 1,200 m. The rangefinder enables rapid distance measurement to an observed object directly within the riflescope's field of view, eliminating the need for a separate measuring device. Its compact integration into the device maintains the elegant appearance of the thermal riflescope and minimizes the need for additional external components. Distance measurements can also be used as input data for the integrated ballistic calculator.

Advanced Ballistic Calculator and 10 Shooting Profiles

The FALCON MEDUSA M5v2-650L features an integrated ballistic calculator that helps calculate aiming corrections based on measured distance and previously entered ballistic parameters. Users can work with ammunition data and customize the settings for a specific firearm configuration. The device supports up to 10 independent shooting profiles, allowing different zeroing settings to be stored, for example, for various types of ammunition or hunting rifles. Users can also choose from 10 reticle types in 5 color options, allowing them to customize the appearance of the aiming point according to their preferences.

Classic 30 mm Tube and Rugged IP67 Construction

The MEDUSA M5v2-650L follows the traditional design of conventional daytime riflescopes. The standard 30 mm mounting tube allows the use of compatible mounting rings and simplifies installation on hunting rifles. The device is designed for demanding field conditions, where mechanical stability, reliability, and protection of sensitive optical and electronic components are essential. The IP67 protection rating provides protection against dust and water, allowing the device to be used in rain, snow, and humid environments. The construction is engineered for high recoil resistance when mounted on hunting firearms.

Replaceable 18650 Batteries and External USB-C Power

The FALCON MEDUSA M5v2-650L uses replaceable 18650 lithium-ion batteries, allowing the power source to be easily changed directly in the field. This provides the convenience of carrying fully charged spare batteries and continuing observation without lengthy interruptions. For extended use, external power via USB-C is also available, for example, from a compatible power bank. Standby mode helps reduce power consumption when the device is not actively being used.

Photos, Video Recording, Wi-Fi, and the FALCON WORLD App

The FALCON MEDUSA M5v2-650L allows photos and videos to be recorded directly to its built-in 32 GB memory. Users can capture interesting wildlife observations, document hunting activities, or save thermal footage for later review. Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity enables the device to connect to the FALCON WORLD mobile app for Android and iOS. The app provides live image viewing, access to stored recordings, and other supported communication features between the device and a smartphone.

Ergonomic Controls and Side-Mounted Lens Focus Adjustment

The MEDUSA M5v2-650L features carefully designed ergonomics for quick and comfortable operation during hunting. A significant design improvement is the side-mounted lens focus adjustment located on the central control turret, allowing users to conveniently adjust image sharpness without manipulating the front of the objective lens. This design makes operation easier, particularly when observing from a stable shooting position or while wearing gloves. The controls are positioned to ensure that the most important functions remain easily accessible, even in complete darkness.
