GI216 Hand-held Thermal Imaging Monocular
Designed to be easy to use in the dark, the GL216 Digital Thermal Imaging Camera from Eyeskey will help you find your targets when hunting or observing wildlife. The monocular-style camera has a range of 1594 yards, with 2x optical magnification, and 4x digital zoom for precise target identification. Imagery is displayed on a 800x 480 OLED display, with five color palettes, White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, Green Hot modes.
The GL216 records up to 32GB of photos and video, but you can also share data to your phone via the Eyeskey Hunting app. The scroll wheel makes it equally easy to use with either hand, even when wearing gloves. Powered by a rechargeable li-ion battery that is easily swapped out in the field, the camera has a runtime of up to 5.5 hours.
Long Battery Life
With an impressively long battery life of 5.5 hours, the GL216 models will hold enough charge for two to three hunts. Extend the battery life even further by activating the smart standby function.
5 Color Palettes
White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, Green Hot allow you to dial in the perfect view for the conditions.
PiP, Hot Tracking
You can use the Picture-in-Picture function to see a zoomed overlay on the original scene, which is helpful if your target makes sudden movements. The Hot Tracking mode puts a red box around the warmest source in your image, making it easier to find heat sources in densely overgrown areas.
Connectivity via Eyeskey Hunting App
The GL216 is fully integrated into the ZEISS Hunting app and can reliably connect to your smartphone via built-in Wi-Fi. The app also allows you to customize and configure the GL216 according to your individual needs and requirements.

Overall, the GL216 is a solid thermal monocular with good image clarity and easy-to-use controls, even in the dark. The range and zoom features work well, but I wish the field of view was a little wider to help cover more area. The battery life is fantastic, lasting more than 5 hours on a single charge, which is perfect for longer trips. However, the unit feels a bit heavy after extended use, and the app connectivity could use some refinement. Still, it's a good product for the price.
I’ve used several thermal cameras in the past, and this is by far the best value for the money. The GL216 is lightweight, intuitive, and produces clear images at long distances. The 4x digital zoom combined with the 2x optical magnification allows for precise target identification. The app is a great addition for sharing photos and videos. It has helped me spot animals during the night without any issues. Battery life is long enough for a full night out, and the unit’s durability is impressive, even in tough conditions. Definitely a great purchase for anyone looking for a reliable thermal monocular.
I've been using thermal monoculars for years, and the Eyeskey GL216 really stands out in its price range. The 2x optical magnification and 4x digital zoom are excellent for target identification, and the picture quality on the OLED display is sharp and clear. I especially appreciate the five color palettes; it helps a lot in different lighting conditions. The battery life is solid, lasting over 5 hours even with heavy use. For anyone looking for a reliable thermal device without breaking the bank, this is a great option.
Purchased this for night hunting and it's been a game changer! The 1594-yard range is impressive, and the Hot Tracking mode is extremely helpful for tracking animals in dense cover. The ability to adjust brightness and contrast on the fly is a big plus, and the Picture-in-Picture feature works well for quickly identifying targets when they're on the move. The GL216 is well-built, easy to use, and provides excellent value for the price. I also like the integration with the Eyeskey Hunting app for easy data sharing. Highly recommended for hunters.
I've been using the Eyeskey GL216 for a few weeks now, and it’s definitely a solid performer, especially for the price. The thermal resolution is good, and the display is bright and clear. However, the digital zoom above 2x starts to show some pixelation, which can make it difficult to identify targets clearly at longer distances. I also think the controls could be a bit more refined. Despite these small issues, the overall performance is great, and I’m happy with my purchase. It's perfect for outdoor use and gives good value for the price.
