1. Produk verbyview

The Leupold LTO-Tracker 2 is a compact and lightweight thermal viewer designed to enhance your outdoor experience, whether for hunting, tracking, or general observation. It allows you to detect heat signatures from game, blood trails, and other objects, both day and night. Its robust design and advanced features make it a reliable companion in various conditions.

A key feature is the new Bakenmodus, which recalibrates the screen to improve daytime use, making it easier to identify objects with similar heat signatures to their backgrounds. Built with a durable aluminum housing and a Gorilla Glass display, the LTO-Tracker 2 is designed for rugged field use.

  • Skakel die toestel aan.
  • Maak seker dat daar geen puin rondom die knope vasgevang is nie.
