G&H Stingray Optics NightcrawlIR™ Lens Series Breaks New Ground In Performance Vs. Cost

The launch of G&H’s new EAR certified NightCrawlIR^TM infrared zoom lenses, under the StingRay brand, marks a step change in accuracy, repeatability, and cost-effectiveness in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) imaging space, in critical sectors including aerospace and defense (A&D), and border security.

This latest innovation from G&H delivers high-performance in the areas of high-speed tracking, zoom stability, image quality and resilience, overcoming the challenges our customers face.

With NightCrawlIR^TM we’ve dispensed with clumsy extenders and doublers to adjust focal lengths and distances, replacing them with innovative, aperture-specific foreoptics compatible with commercial F4 HD cameras, and spanning the full spectrum of focal lengths, from 850mm down to 16.5mm.

Together with its StingWare controller, NightCrawlIR’s metric zoom and focus, and its athermal compensation, enable the lens to report back exact focal length and object distances to the user, never losing steps, with no temperature drift, no focus lag, and no added weight and bulk.
