The new Guide TB Gen 2 Clip On ApexVision thermal range represents the latest generation of thermal clip-on technology for Australian hunters, farmers and professional pest controllers. The range includes the TB650S Gen 2.0, Guide TB650LS Gen 2.0 and Guide TB1260LS Gen 2.0 ApexVision thermal clip-on models, delivering advanced thermal imaging performance, precision targeting capability and reliable operation in demanding Australian environments.
Thermal imaging technology has become one of the biggest advancements in modern hunting, pest control and wildlife management, giving Australian shooters the ability to detect heat signatures and identify animals in complete darkness.
Designed for demanding Australian conditions, the Guide TB650S Gen 2 ApexVision, Guide TB650LS Gen 2 ApexVision with integrated laser rangefinder (LRF), and the high-resolution Guide TB1260LS Gen 2 ApexVision thermal clip-on provide a versatile solution for fox control, feral pig management, rabbit control, wild dog control and rural property protection.
Unlike a traditional thermal riflescope, a thermal clip-on allows shooters to attach thermal capability to their existing daytime riflescope while maintaining their preferred optic, rifle setup and shooting familiarity. The Guide TB Gen 2 ApexVision series combines high-performance thermal sensors, advanced image processing, precision mounting capability and rugged construction to help Australian hunters extend their effective hunting hours and improve target detection in challenging night-time conditions.
The range includes three premium models:
Designed for Australian conditions, these thermal clip-ons are aimed at hunters, farmers and professional pest controllers who need reliable performance for:
Unlike a dedicated thermal riflescope, a thermal clip-on allows shooters to keep using their preferred daytime optic while adding thermal capability when required. This makes the Guide TB Gen 2 ApexVision range an attractive option for hunters who already have quality glass and want maximum versatility.
| Model | Best For | Sensor | Main Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guide TB650S Gen 2 | General Australian hunting | 640×512 | Best all-round thermal clip-on |
| Guide TB650LS Gen 2 | Precision shooting | 640×512 + LRF | Thermal with integrated laser rangefinder |
| Guide TB1260LS Gen 2 | Maximum detail and long range use | 1280×1024 + LRF | Ultra-high-resolution thermal performance |
A thermal clip-on attaches in front of an existing riflescope, allowing the shooter to use the same rifle and daytime optic during both daylight and night-time conditions.
For Australian hunters, this has several advantages:
Many shooters invest heavily in premium daytime optics. A clip-on allows them to maintain:
Instead of changing rifles or scopes, hunters can quickly adapt their setup when conditions change.
This is especially useful for:
A quality clip-on paired with a good daylight optic can provide excellent accuracy because the shooter retains the advantages of their preferred scope.
