The RIX Optics STRIDE ST6 Lite is a compact thermal imaging monocular built around a high-resolution 640x512 VOx sensor and fast 50 Hz refresh rate. Combining a sensitive <20 mK NETD rating with a 25mm F1.0 objective lens, the ST6 Lite is designed to provide detailed thermal imaging and smooth observation of moving subjects across a wide range of outdoor conditions.
With a native 1x base magnification and broad 17.5° x 13.1° field of view, the ST6 Lite is particularly well suited for scanning and observation where situational awareness is important. The lightweight 0.45 lb housing incorporates a 1024x768 OLED display, onboard photo and video recording, 32GB of internal storage, Wi-Fi connectivity through the RIX+ app, and a replaceable 18650 battery system.

At the center of the STRIDE ST6 Lite is a 640x512 VOx uncooled thermal detector with a fine 12μm pixel pitch. The high sensor resolution provides substantial thermal detail, helping distinguish subjects and surrounding terrain while scanning.
A NETD rating below 20 mK provides high thermal sensitivity, allowing the sensor to distinguish relatively small temperature differences within a scene. This can improve image definition when environmental temperature differences are limited.
The 50 Hz frame rate provides smooth thermal imaging when scanning or observing moving subjects. The faster refresh rate reduces the choppy appearance associated with slower thermal systems and creates a more natural viewing experience during active observation.
The 25mm F1.0 objective is paired with a native 1x magnification to provide a broad viewing area suitable for scanning.
The 17.5° x 13.1° field of view covers approximately 30.7 x 23 yards at a distance of 100 yards, allowing the user to observe a substantial area without excessive panning.
Digital magnification can be increased from 1x through 6x when a closer look at a detected subject is needed.
The ST6 Lite provides a listed thermal detection range of up to 1,423 yards. This gives the monocular the ability to detect heat signatures at considerable distances while its wide native field of view remains useful for general scanning and locating subjects.
Actual detection and identification performance can vary with subject size, weather, atmospheric conditions, terrain, and temperature differences.
Thermal imagery is presented through a 1024x768 OLED display, providing a high-resolution viewing interface for the 640x512 sensor.
A -5D to +5D diopter adjustment allows the eyepiece to be tailored to individual eyesight, while 20mm of eye relief provides comfortable viewing.
The STRIDE ST6 Lite includes integrated recording capabilities for capturing thermal observations without requiring a separate recording device.

Internal Storage: 32GB
The built-in memory provides substantial space for storing recorded thermal images and video clips.
Integrated Wi-Fi provides connectivity with the RIX+ app, allowing compatible mobile devices to interface with the monocular for supported wireless functions.
This provides additional flexibility for managing and sharing thermal observations beyond the monocular's integrated display.
At approximately 5.1" x 2.8" x 1.9" and only 0.45 lb, the ST6 Lite is designed for easy handheld use and convenient storage in a field pack or gear bag.
Its compact dimensions make it particularly useful as a dedicated scanning optic when minimizing equipment size and weight is important.
The STRIDE ST6 Lite operates from a replaceable 18650 battery measuring 70mm in length.
