It ships in Pure Mode, with no crosshair. We send you the steps to unlock the full settings, crosshair included. They work only on unlocked units ordered from us.

The TE210MS is the successor of the TE211M. It keeps the same compact body, 256 × 192 sensor, 10 mm lens, 1.43" AMOLED touchscreen, 50 Hz refresh rate and up to 6 hours of battery. It adds a 2× more sensitive sensor (15 mK instead of 30 mK) with ApexVision image processing, 64 GB of storage instead of 16 GB, and a magnetic molle case. The video above shows the same scene through both.

It depends on the game. Some milsim events allow thermal devices, and many fields and games ban them. Always check the rules of the event before you bring a thermal.

Guide rates the detection range at up to 500 m. The field of view is 13.1°, about 23 × 23 m at 100 m. Detection means you see a heat signature; to recognise who it is, you need a shorter distance.

A thermal shows heat, so players stand out against a cooler background, also in camouflage and in total darkness. Digital night vision shows a normal picture in low light and is better for moving around and identifying people. For spotting players, a thermal is the stronger tool.

Not through glass: glass blocks the heat the sensor sees, so a thermal does not work through a window or a glass lens. Thick bushes also hide heat. Camouflage clothing and ghillie suits hide body heat much less than they hide you from the eye.

Yes. It records photos and video with sound to 64 GB of built-in storage. With the Guide TargetIR app you can see a live view on your phone over the device’s Wi-Fi.

Up to 6 hours (manufacturer figure). It charges with 20 W over USB-C, and 10 minutes of charging gives about 1 hour of use. Guide rates it for −20 °C to +50 °C.

The protector and mount has a T1 / T2 bolt pattern. It cannot go on a picatinny rail without a T1 / RUM base. The base is not included. The top rail goes on the protector and takes a small red dot.

The unlocked TE210MS with everything from its own box, our titanium mesh protector and mount, and a top mount rail. All screws are included. The thermal ships separately from the rest of your order.

The 1.1 mm titanium mesh takes point-blank hits at 1.5 J. It costs very little image sharpness: the video above was filmed through it.

Replace the mesh when it shows visible damage. Under extreme conditions (higher power, heavier BBs, repeated hits on the same spot), 100% resistance cannot be guaranteed.
