In an era where features are often added for their own sake, Nocpix chooses to return to fundamentals—refining pure thermal binocular performance to its limits. As the latest upgrade in the QUEST series, the new QUEST S50R stays true to a dedicated thermal binocular approach, avoiding feature overload and instead reinforcing the core experience to achieve a new level of professional performance. QUEST S50R retains the core essentials hunters value most: clear and stable image performance, comfortable long-duration viewing and a lightweight and portable design. Building on these strengths, QUEST S50R delivers targeted upgrades to the parameters that truly define performance—such as a higher-resolution self-developed sensor and a wider field of view—enhancing key capabilities while retaining its proven advantages.
With precise upgrades and solid advantages preserved, QUEST S50R enables hunters to experience the most extreme thermal performance within a familiar, professional binocular platform—exactly the direction Nocpix QUEST remains committed to refining.
Key Upgrades of QUEST S50R
Compared to the previous generation, QUEST S50R introduces focused upgrades to the key parameters that define professional performance, significantly elevating its overall capability.
- Higher-Resolution 1280×1024 Self-Developed Sensor Image quality sits at the core of this upgrade. With a high-resolution 1280 ×1024 sensor and an ultra-sensitive NETD ≤15mK, QUEST S50R delivers finer details and ensures stable and clear imaging even at long distances, low thermal contrast, or in foggy and light-rain conditions.
- Wider 17.5° × 14° Field of View The expanded field of view gives QUEST S50R a broader visual window for scanning and searching. Whether hunting from a high seat or observing open terrain, users can cover wider areas effortlessly, track moving targets more efficiently, and enjoy a more natural, immersive viewing experience.
- 2× Base Magnification The 2× base magnification provides QUEST S50R with a wide initial field of view, allowing for smooth and flexible target transitions that align closely with real-world hunting preferences.
Four Areas Where QUEST S50R Excels
- Clearer, Smoother, and More Realistic Thermal Imaging QUEST S50R features Nocpix’s self-developed 1280×1024@12μm industry-leading sensor (NETD ≤15mK), combined with a 60Hz refresh rate, R+ image enhancement algorithms, and electronic image stabilization(EIS). Together, these technologies deliver low-noise, high-detail, and well-layered thermal imagery with outstanding stability. Paired with a wide 17.5° × 14°field of view and a 2× base magnification, QUEST S50R enables faster and more efficient large-area scanning and target acquisition.
- Visual Comfort Designed for Extended Observation QUEST S50R continues the QUEST philosophy of visual comfort, featuring dual 0.72-inch 1920×1200 AMOLED round displays for a more immersive and natural viewing experience. A 10mm exit pupil diameter combined with ±5D diopter adjustment accommodates a wide range of users and viewing preferences, improving overall comfort. Adjustable brightness and tone, along with optional green and red eye-protection palettes, help minimize visual fatigue and allow hunters to maintain stable, comfortable observation throughout the entire hunt.
- Intuitive Operation with Lightweight Design With a lightweight 750g body (175.4 × 138 × 66mm), a four-button layout, and centrally positioned focus and zoom rings, QUEST S50R remains intuitive to operate—whether one-handed, with gloves, or in total darkness—ensuring stable long-term use. The 1000m integrated LRF, N-LINK data sharing, and ballistic calculation provide efficient support for more accurate shooting. Supported by a 2600m detection range, QUEST S50R enables more confident and efficient operation when searching for targets, tracking moving animals, or observing at long distances. A hand-conforming ergonomic grip, full-rubber anti-slip body, silent buttons, and included chest pack and neck strap allow for steady, quick, and easy operation in outdoor conditions.
- Truly Worry-Free All-Night Runtime QUEST S50R adopts a dual-battery system featuring a built-in 4200mAh battery and an external, replaceable 3850mAh18650 battery, which is affordable, widely available, and easily swapped—eliminating runtime anxiety. QUEST S50R supports battery replacement without powering off, allowing the external 18650 battery to be swapped during operation with no interruption or reboot. Equipped with a proximity sensor, the automatic standby mode activates the moment the device is moved away from the eyes, reducing power consumption and deliveringa reliable runtime during extended hunts.
Why Do Hunters Need a Truly Professional Thermal Binocular?
Nighttime environments are far more complex than they seem. Overlapping tree shadows, grass patterns, and residual heat from rocks and terrain can all distort perception. Real targets often hide within subtle temperature differences. What hunters truly need is not a feature-heavy device, but a no-compromise thermal binocular that excels where it truly matters. In the dark, second chances are rare. A truly professional thermal binocular ensures that every observation, every scan, and every judgment is faster, steadier, and more reliable.
With QUEST S50R, Nocpix has concentrated all R&D efforts on perfecting the core thermal binocular experience—no distractions, no compromises.
This relentless focus enables hunters to rely on stable, clear, and truly professional nighttime thermal observation.
