Shinenyx M1 Pro Monocular Fuses Thermal and Night Vision

Shinenyx has introduced the M1 Pro monocular, a fused-sensor optic that blends digital night vision with thermal imaging in a single handheld unit. Designed for professional users and demanding shooters, the Shinenyx M1 Pro monocular aims to expand situational awareness by combining complementary technologies into a single device.

The company says its E2E aspherical lenses deliver distortion-free clarity, while the unit’s large 2.1-inch display and 640 thermal detector work in tandem with military-grade digital night vision to reveal detail across changing light conditions. Shinenyx’s FIT image-fusion system combines thermal and night-vision feeds in real time, and RTO tech outlines heat signatures with a red trace to speed up acquisition.

Shinenyx positions the M1 Pro as a flexible optic built for field adaptability. The ability to mount the monocular, run it handheld, or feed imagery directly into AR-style glasses expands its applications across surveillance, predator control, and general night operations. Weight distribution—placing the monocular on the head while the user wears lightweight glasses—is intended to reduce fatigue during long sessions.

While many portable multispectral units focus on either thermal or digital night vision, the fused-image capability stands out for users who need rapid interpretation of mixed environments. The added red heat outline gives the device a more defined targeting cue in cluttered or low-contrast backgrounds.

The Shinenyx M1 Pro monocular brings a broad feature set to the multispectral optics category, particularly for those looking to merge thermal detection with usable night-vision detail in a single platform.
