Guide, a prominent player in infrared thermal imaging, showcased its latest innovations at the IWA OutdoorClassics 2026 in Nürnberg, Germany, on March 1, 2026. The event marked the official launch of the groundbreaking ApexVision technology and the flagship clip-on thermal device, the TU1260MS. The Guide booth, located at 4A-511, attracted thousands of attendees eager to explore the future of thermal performance.
A key highlight of the event was a presentation led by Andreas Trenzinger, an experienced German hunter. He conducted a detailed “Deep Dive” into the capabilities of the TU1260MS. Trenzinger showcased live footage captured during the event, alongside pre-release testing videos of new products, providing compelling evidence of the advantages offered by ApexVision. Attendees observed the device’s ability to deliver exceptional detail, effectively distinguish targets from backgrounds, and maintain a high dynamic range in challenging, low-light conditions.
The live demonstrations featured the ApexCore S1 detector, which boasts an ultra-high sensitivity with a NETD of less than 15mK. This technology ensures remarkable contrast and edge clarity, impressing both professionals and enthusiasts alike. Many noted the “see-it-to-believe-it” clarity of the TU1260MS, solidifying Guide’s reputation for innovation in the thermal imaging market.
Innovative Features and Engineering Excellence
Discussions at the booth frequently turned to the Orion C thermal clip-ons, which integrate multiple practical features. With a lightweight design of just 285 grams, the Orion C offers all-night battery life and rugged all-weather capability, alongside an impressive 26ms ultra-low latency. This combination of features has positioned the Orion C as a benchmark for minimalist engineering.
Experts from All4hunters highlighted the importance of weight in enhancing shooting precision. They noted, “Every gram saved can help support repeatable zero and point-of-impact consistency in the overall setup.” As a result, the Orion C provides a balanced, stable shooting platform that maintains accuracy over repeated use, making it a top choice among dealers and professionals.
Guide aims to introduce these high-performance thermal imaging devices to the global market, emphasizing that hunters need not compromise on portability or thermal clarity. The successful showcase at IWA OutdoorClassics 2026 underscores the company’s commitment to advancing technology in the outdoor and hunting sectors.
