Guide's ApexVision Debuts at IWA OutdoorClassics 2026
The 2026 IWA OutdoorClassics, held in Nuremberg, Germany, showcased Guide's leading innovations in infrared thermal imaging technology. The event marked the official launch of the highly anticipated
ApexVision technology and the flagship
TU1260MS clip-on, both of which drew significant attention from thousands of attendees eager to witness the future of thermal performance.
A Successful Debut
The highlight of the exhibition was an exclusive
Deep Dive session led by Andreas Trenzinger, an experienced hunter from Germany. He presented authentic TU1260MS footage captured live at the IWA, alongside test recordings of new products prior to their market introduction. Attendees were impressed by the ApexVision technology's capability to capture optimal detail, distinguish targets from backgrounds clearly, and offer a high dynamic range in demanding low-light scenarios. Trenzinger's realistic footage highlighted the exceptional sensitivity of the
ApexCore S1 detector, achieving a NETD of <15 mK, showcasing how the technology preserves contrast and edge sharpness.
Industry Praise for ApexVision
Both professionals and enthusiasts were left in awe of the clarity provided by the ApexVision technology in the TU1260MS model. The Guide booth experienced a constant influx of wholesale dealers and hunting enthusiasts, with a consensus that Guide has effectively bridged the gap between advanced, AI-powered software and the robust, lightweight hardware that hunters truly need. The discussions consistently returned to the
Orion C Thermal Clip-ons, which integrate a range of practical features such as all-night battery life, rugged all-weather capability, and a remarkably low latency of 26 ms—all within a compact 285-gram housing. This model has been celebrated as a masterpiece of minimalist engineering.
Efficiency in design plays a critical role; experts from All4hunters noted, "Every saved gram contributes to ensuring repeatable zeroing and consistent point-of-impact across the configuration." Guide has successfully ensured that the Orion C provides a better-balanced and more stable shooting platform, maintaining accuracy even after repeated use. As a result, dealers have started to refer to it as a new standard for professional attachments.
Looking Ahead
Guide is excited to bring these high-performance devices to the global market, making it possible for hunters to have both lightweight portability and top-tier thermal imaging quality without compromise. For more details, visit
