NocPix SLIM H35 35mm 640 Thermal Scope – Built for Close-Range Hog & Predator Hunting on a $2,500 Budget

The NocPix SLIM H35 35mm 640 Thermal Scope is designed for hog hunters and predator hunters who typically engage animals at close distances, want maximum clarity, and need one thermal that can be used both as a scanner and a scope—all while staying within a $2,500 budget.

Most hogs are shot inside 200 yards. Many are shot much closer than that. Because of this, field of view and image clarity matter more than high base magnification. The SLIM H35 is built around that reality.

With a 640×512 thermal sensor, a 35mm lens, and a 2.0× native magnification, this unit delivers a wide, clean image that works exceptionally well for close-range hog hunting and mid-range predator hunting, without forcing hunters into oversized, over-magnified optics.

Why a 2.0× 640 Thermal Is Ideal for Hog & Predator Hunters

The 2.0× native magnification on the SLIM H35 is intentional and practical.

When hunting hogs, shots are often taken:

• At feeders

• On sounders moving through fields

• Along edges, roads, and property lines

• At distances where too much magnification works against you

A lower base magnification provides:

• More field of view, so you can see multiple hogs at once

• Faster target acquisition at close distances

• Easier tracking of moving animals

• Less need to back out of magnification when hogs are close

Paired with 640 resolution, the wider view still provides excellent detail and identification, even without relying heavily on digital zoom.

For predator hunters, the same advantage applies when coyotes come in fast, circle, or hang up inside typical calling distances.

This is why the SLIM H35 works better than higher-magnification thermals for the way most hogs and predators are actually hunted.

Southern Precision Outdoors Field Insight

From our experience, the SLIM H35 shines for hunters who want:

• Wide visibility at close range

• Clean 640 clarity

• And the ability to react quickly when animals appear closer than expected

Higher base magnification thermals can feel cramped when hogs show up at 40–80 yards or when multiple animals are moving. The SLIM H35 avoids that problem.

For hunters with a $2,500 budget who want to hunt hogs efficiently and still have enough clarity for predator work, this unit makes a lot of sense.

One Thermal for Scanning and Shooting

The NocPix SLIM H35 includes a quick-detach dual-lever Picatinny mount, allowing it to be used as:

• ✔️ A handheld thermal scanner to locate hogs or predators

• ✔️ A weapon-mounted thermal scope when it’s time to shoot

The mount features magnetic alignment and a glow-in-the-dark index, allowing you to remove and re-mount the unit without losing zero, even in complete darkness.

This dual-use design is ideal for hunters who:

• Don’t want to buy a separate scanner

• Want to keep weight and cost down

• Need flexibility during a hunt

Built for Long Nights and Close Encounters

The SLIM H35 runs on a removable IRB-2 flat-top 18650 rechargeable battery, providing up to 4 hours of runtime per battery. The magnetic USB-C port allows easy connection to external power banks for extended hunts.

The magnesium alloy housing keeps the unit lightweight while remaining durable. It is IP67 waterproof, shock-rated, and recoil-rated up to 7mm / .300 Win Mag, making it suitable for ARs and bolt-action rifles alike.
