Pixfra Draco
The multi-spectral binocular - thermal, 4K day/night and a 1,000 m laser rangefinder in one.
Multi-spectral — two imaging systems, one binocular.
Most night optics force a choice. A thermal device is unbeatable for finding warm animals through cover and total darkness — but it shows a heat signature, not a recognisable, detailed picture. A digital night-vision device gives you that natural, identifiable image — but it can't pick heat out of long grass and shadow the way thermal can.
The Draco refuses the choice. It carries two complete imaging systems in one binocular: a dedicated thermal channel built around a vanadium-oxide sensor, and a separate 4K UHD digital channel for day and night vision. Switch between them at the press of a control — or run them together in picture-in-picture. Sweep the country on thermal, confirm the animal on 4K, and range it with the built-in laser.
850 nm or 940 nm — pick the infrared that suits your hunting
On a truly black night, the 4K digital channel needs a little help — an infrared illuminator that floods the scene with light the sensor sees clearly but the eye largely can't. Every Draco has one built in, and you choose the wavelength when you buy. Both are the same price in every model.

Which Pixfra Draco is for you?
New to this? How the Draco's two channels work.
Two technologies, two jobs — explained simply.
The thermal channel detects heat. Every living animal radiates infrared heat, and the sensor turns that into an image — so it works in total darkness and shows a warm pig or fox glowing brightly against a cooler background, even through long grass, shadow and light scrub. Thermal is the ultimate detection tool: it shows you animals are there.
The digital day/night channel works with light. By day it captures a crisp, full-colour 4K picture, like a high-end pair of digital binoculars. By night it amplifies available light and, with the IR illuminator on, delivers a clear night-vision image. The digital channel is the identification tool: it shows you what the animal is, in natural detail.
When weighing up a thermal device, the key number is NETD — thermal sensitivity in millikelvin, where a lower number is better. Low NETD reads finer temperature differences and holds a clean picture in fog, rain and humidity. The Draco runs a sharp 15–18 mK. Sensor resolution — 256, 384 or 640 — sets thermal detail, and the 4K (3840×2160) sensor is the resolution of the day/night channel. A thermal-and-digital binocular like this is an observation and detection tool, not an aiming device — you use it to find, identify and range game, then engage with your rifle and its own sight.
A genuinely complete observation tool.
Full technical specifications — all three models
Where a value is shared across the range it spans the row. Where it differs, each model is listed left to right.
Specifications are supplied by the manufacturer and may be revised without notice. Each model is available in an 850 nm or 940 nm IR illuminator variant; the two are identical but for the IR wavelength and illuminator range. Thermal detection distance refers to a large heat source under favourable conditions and will vary in the field.
The Draco against the HikMicro Habrok
The Draco's most direct rival is the HikMicro Habrok 4K — the same multi-spectral category, pairing a thermal channel with a 4K digital channel and a 1,000 m laser rangefinder. Here is how the two ranges line up on the specs that matter, and on price. Every device shown carries a 4K digital channel and a 1,000 m rangefinder.
Competitor models, specifications and pricing are indicative Australian retail at the time of writing, drawn from publicly listed figures, and will vary between retailers and over time — confirm current detail with the relevant seller. Comparison is provided in good faith to illustrate value. HikMicro does not currently offer a 384-sensor model in the Habrok 4K binocular line, a tier the Draco D335 fills.
Where the Draco earns its keep
One binocular that finds, identifies and ranges — day or night.
