The GUIDE NOVA N435 Thermal Scope combines a 400×300 thermal sensor, 35mm germanium objective lens, 3.3× base magnification, and lightweight magnesium-alloy housing in an affordable optic built for nighttime predator and hog hunting.

Designed for hunters who want dependable thermal performance without unnecessary weight or complexity, the NOVA N435 offers long-range detection, a high-resolution AMOLED display, recoil-activated recording, TargetIR Ballistics compatibility, and a dual-battery system with hot-swap capability.

400×300 Thermal Sensor with 20 mK Sensitivity

At the center of the GUIDE NOVA N435 is a 400×300 uncooled VOx thermal sensor with a 12μm pixel pitch, 50Hz refresh rate, and ≤20 mK NETD thermal sensitivity.

This sensor produces smooth movement, strong target separation, and useful thermal detail in total darkness and challenging environmental conditions. GUIDE’s Hyper-Light image-processing technology further improves image contrast and helps animals stand out against vegetation, timber, fields, and other complex backgrounds.

35mm Lens with 3.3× Base Magnification

The N435 features a 35mm F/1.0 germanium objective lens and 3.3× optical base magnification, giving hunters an effective balance of field of view and reach.

This configuration is especially well suited for hunting coyotes, hogs, and other predators across fields, pastures, food plots, and similar medium-range environments. The scope provides a 7.9° × 5.9° field of view and up to 4× digital zoom for a total magnification range of 3.3× to 13.2×.

GUIDE rates the N435 for human-sized target detection at approximately 1,950 yards. Detection distance should not be confused with positive identification or ethical shooting distance, which will vary based on target size, terrain, weather, and environmental conditions.

High-Resolution AMOLED Display

A 0.39-inch 1024×768 AMOLED display provides a sharp, high-contrast viewing experience with clear menu graphics and excellent visibility in dark conditions. The N435 also features 48mm of eye relief and an adjustable diopter for comfortable viewing.

Seven thermal color palettes allow hunters to customize the image for different conditions:

• White Hot
• Black Hot
• Red Hot
• Green Hot
• Iron Red
• Blue Hot
• Sepia

TargetIR Ballistics Compatibility

The GUIDE NOVA N435 works with the GUIDE TargetIR Ballistics app, allowing hunters to configure ballistic profiles and calculate trajectory information for their preferred firearm and ammunition setup.

Bluetooth connectivity also supports compatible GUIDE accessories, including optional laser rangefinder configurations. A laser rangefinder is not built into the N435 and is not included with the standard package.

Recoil-Activated Recording

GUIDE’s smart recording system automatically recognizes recoil and captures the moment a shot is taken. When recoil is detected, the N435 records a 15-second video with sound and captures five images, allowing hunters to document successful shots without manually pressing the record button.

Photos, videos, and audio are stored on the scope’s 32GB internal memory. Recorded footage can be viewed, downloaded, and shared through the GUIDE TargetIR mobile app.

Dual-Band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Integrated 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi provides fast wireless connectivity with compatible mobile devices through the TargetIR app. Hunters can use the app for live viewing, footage management, supported ballistic functions, settings, and firmware updates.

Bluetooth connectivity expands compatibility with supported GUIDE accessories and wireless features.

Dual-Battery System with Hot-Swap Capability

The GUIDE NOVA N435 uses a dual-power system consisting of a built-in rechargeable battery and a removable 18500 rechargeable battery. Together, they provide up to 7.5 hours of operating time under rated conditions.

The internal battery continues powering the scope while the removable 18500 battery is changed. This hot-swap capability allows hunters to replace the external battery without shutting down the optic. The N435 also supports USB-C external power and up to 20W quick charging.

Lightweight Magnesium-Alloy Housing

Weighing approximately 19.71 ounces, the N435 helps reduce the amount of weight added to a hunting setup. Its compact magnesium-alloy housing is well balanced and comfortable to carry during long nights in the field.

An included quick-release Picatinny mount provides secure attachment to compatible platforms while allowing the scope to be removed when necessary.

Built for Demanding Hunting Conditions

The NOVA N435 carries an IP67 water and dust ingress rating, protecting the scope against dust and temporary water immersion under rated conditions.

It is also rated to withstand recoil energy up to 6000 joules, making it suitable for a wide range of hunting applications. The scope is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from approximately -4°F to 122°F.
