The Pixfra Mile 2 made waves when it landed on the market just a few months ago, and continues to do so as its sleek and stylish slimline design has recently caught the eye of Red Dot, winning the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2024 for its ability to provide a huge performance whilst remaining as small as a smartphone, slipping with ease into a pocket or pouch when not in use.
Of the Mile 2’s win, the Red Dot judges say: “The thermal imaging telescope Mile 2 impresses with its user-friendliness and its particularly compact and lightweight design.” But what exactly makes it so user friendly?
The answer can be found in several places. You could look at the overall design — integrating the power button into the Pixfra logo on the side of the device, freeing up space along the top of the monocular and allowing the team at Pixfra to reduce the number of buttons, resulting in a much smaller footprint. You could take soft rubberised coating across its bodyshell and the fact that it weighs just 300g — making it perfect for long periods of observation and remaining next to unnoticed when stowed away. You could peer inside to the technology within these devices, where sensitive thermal sensors and powerful objective lenses achieve detection ranges that you wouldn’t think possible from a device as compact as this. And then there’s IP67 rating, protecting the Mile 2 against dust- and moisture ingress and enabling reliable observation, day or night, rain or shine.
Every aspect of the Mile 2 has been designed to ensure that our users only ever experience comfortable, powerful thermal observation, and it is Pixfra’s mission to ensure they can do so at entry-level prices. Pixfra is honoured to have this recognised by the Red Dot Awards.
