SOPHIE-XF
Hand-Held Thermal Imager
with Continuous Optical Zoom

With more than 12 000 SOPHIE in operation in 55 countries, SOPHIE family is now growing once more with a new fully
integrated thermal imager dedicated to long range target location and surveillance.This camera has all the functions
of SOPHIE mono-function and is also able to locate a target in daylight and at night. It has a high performance laser
range finder that ensures accurate location of moving targets, even in poor weather conditions.
As a world leader in the design of thermal imagers, Thales has incorporated in this camera most recent infrared and
optical technologies to deliver the optimum solution for target location and surveillance applications.
