DNT HYDRA-LRF HS225R 256×192 25mm Multi-Function Thermal Scope with Laser Rangefinder, Ballistic Calculator, QDM150 Mount, Clip-On & Handheld Monocular Use

The DNT HYDRA-LRF HS225R is a compact multi-function thermal optic built for users who want one device that can serve as a standalone thermal scope, clip-on thermal optic, and handheld thermal monocular. Designed with a rugged black housing, ribbed focus rings, integrated controls, an extended eyecup, and a quick-detach mounting system, the HS225R delivers flexible thermal visibility in a streamlined, field-ready package.

This model features a 256x192 thermal sensor, 25mm lens, laser rangefinder, and DNT Ballistic Engine, giving users thermal imaging, distance measurement, and ballistic support in one optic. DNT describes the HYDRA-LRF series as a 3-in-1 thermal platform with LRF models offering distance measurement and shot-planning support through the DNT Ballistic Engine.

The included QDM150 quick detach mount allows users to switch between handheld scanning and mounted use more efficiently, while the compact body keeps the optic practical for general precision optics applications. DNT lists the HS225R as the most accessible HYDRA-LRF model and notes that it comes standard with the QDM150 quick detach mount.
