The Nitehog VIPER 50 NEXT is a lightweight, front-mounted thermal attachment that adds reliable night capability to your daytime optic without rezeroing. Built around a 12 µm sensor with a noise-equivalent temperature difference under 50 mK, it delivers crisp target separation at a fast 60 Hz for smooth pans and tracking. A 50 mm objective and 1× base magnification protect your day-scope’s reticle scale and hold-over data, while Nitehog’s A-CORE engine and Image Razor processing refine contrast and edges for confident identification. With an IP66-rated shell and a mass of roughly 295 g, the VIPER 50 NEXT keeps your rifle trim and balanced for extended sessions on foot or from the ute.

Engineered for Performance in the Field

Designed for long paddocks and scrubby creek lines alike, the VIPER 50 NEXT couples a 50 mm lens with sensitive 12 µm pixels to pull fine detail out of marginal temperature splits. The fast 60 Hz feed prevents smearing when you swing onto moving targets, and the 1024×768 OLED eyepiece provides a sharp, fatigue-reducing view in varied light. Rated to IP66, the housing shrugs off rain, dust and spray, and the included counter ring and cleaning tools help keep the interface tidy through rough country. A single 18650 powers the unit for around five hours at 22 °C, and spares are easy to pocket for long nights on the back block.

Precision-Driven User Experience

As a true clip-on, the VIPER 50 NEXT mounts via scope-specific adapters in front of your day optic, preserving zero and eye relief. The ultra-low profile keeps barrel-to-optic geometry tidy, and focus and menu controls are positioned for intuitive use with gloves. Select from White/Black/Red Hot or isoTherm-based palettes to suit background and target, and call on 2×/4× digital zoom only when you need a closer look. With smooth start-up, consistent alignment and a compact 157×71×54 mm footprint, it integrates cleanly into your existing rifle setup without bulky rails or reconfiguration.

The VIPER 50 NEXT gives hunters a practical, repeatable night solution: sensitive 12 µm performance, fast 60 Hz imaging and no-rezero simplicity in a compact, IP66 package. From open-country scanning to tight scrub edges, it provides the clarity and handling needed to make informed, ethical decisions after dark.
