The Infiray Mate MAL25 review
What's in the package? We will provide you with the scope of delivery Infiray Mate MAL25
Just like that Infiray Mate MAL38 and Infiray Mate MAH50 The MAL25 is delivered in a spacious box that is externally identical to all Mate products. The attachment is stored in one sturdy bag, in which it can be transported safely. In addition to the standard equipment, the camera also has some special accessories in stock for you, which we will talk about later. First of all, that entire scope of delivery des Infiray Mate MAL25 at a glance:
- A Quickstart Guide (you can find detailed instructions in German in your customer account)
- A power plug
- A USB-C cable for charging the built-in battery
- Another USB-C cable, which can be contracted
- An IBP-4 battery packthat can be installed
- A remote control
- A Velcro strap for the remote control to attach to the weapon
- A magnetic adapter plate for the remote control for secure attachment to clothing
- A Picantinny rail with Allen key
- A cleaning cloth
The special extras are certainly the included Picantinny rail and the built-in battery pack. Both have the following connection:
The battery pack IBP-4: Infiray has developed a completely new and innovative battery system for the Mate MAL25. On the one hand, the attachment is powered by a built-in battery Running time of a maximum of 4,5 hours In a sense, the battery pack serves as an integrated power bank that extends the running time by a further 7,5 hours, so that according to the manufacturer you can expect up to 12 hours. Our experience lies with this Battery performance but far below. At slightly sub-zero temperatures, the device reaches approx. 3,5h; We include the battery pack 4 to 5 hours. The laser module (ILR-1200-2 Mate) also serves as a power bank in addition to its function as a laser rangefinder.
The Picantinny rail: The purpose of the included rail will be of particular interest to most hunters. Because this is supposed to happen in the future laser rangefinder – to be precise, that one Infiray ILR-1200-2 Mate Laser Rangefinder – have it mounted on the camera. How long Infiray We cannot say that it will still be needed until this additional feature is ready for the market. But in any case it is already eagerly awaited.
What operating features does it have? Infiray Mate MAL25?
Let's start with the device itself: As you can see in the Infiray As you can see from the Mate MAL25 test, the device's appearance is no different from the other models in the Mate series; the housing is compact and consists of a Magnesium Alloy. This makes the camera particularly robust and gives it a high-quality appearance. She also has the Protection class IP67 and is therefore dust and waterproof. What also catches the eye is the size: this Infiray Mate MAL25 is just a little larger than palm size and brings only 450 g (without battery pack and adapter) on the scale. So you get one with the attachment true lightweight, which is hardly noticeable in terms of weight on your target optics.
The other operating features are similar to the Mate MAL38 and MAH50:
- Remote Control: The MAL25 has one magnetic remote control, which can be securely attached to the weapon using a pad or to the hunter's clothing using an adapter. The big and, in our opinion, excellent innovation is the following: The remote control is no longer via Bluetooth connected to the attachment. While the remote control on other devices previously went into standby mode when you activated it on the camera, it remains on the MAL25 continuously functional. This means that you can control all settings at any time as long as you stay within a distance of around 5 meters from the device.
- Magnetic lens cap: A not so good innovation is the magnetic cover over the objective lens. This gives quite a bit when closed loud noise of itself, which may scare away the game. The huntsman has to close the lid very slowly and consciously in the area in order not to give himself away - here he would have Infiray can act more wisely.
- Different scene modes: Like other attachments and thermal imaging cameras, this also has Infiray Mate MAL25 about various Scene or picture modes, with which the image reproduction can be adjusted depending on where you are at the moment - for example with a city, flatland or forest mode. A nice feature, but in our opinion not particularly important. However, the benefits can vary from Waidmann to Waidmann, so it is definitely justified.
- Color palettes: Of course, the Mate MAL25 also has different color modes - four of them, among them White hot, Black hot, Red hot and color. This allows you to wonderfully individualize the image reproduction and adjust the color to suit your needs.
- Outer keyboard: The outer buttons of the Infiray Mate MAL25 are rubberized and therefore particularly easy to grip. Thanks to the highlighted icons, the buttons are easy to use even in the dark. Like from others Infirayproducts you are already used to, you can quickly switch between the menu items with a long or short press. By long or short pressing the photo button you can take either photos or videos.
- Recording function: With the attachment you can easily capture the most exciting moments of your hunting experience on photos or videos. The 32 GB large memory offers enough space for this.
- Charge level: There is also a light-emitting diode on the attachment, which gives you information about the charging status of the MAL25.
Technical details in Infiray Mate MAL25 review
From the small size of the Infiray Don't be fooled by the Mate MAL25. One thing is certain: with this attachment camera you get one High performance device, which has the most modern technical equipment currently available on the market. As you can see from the pictures from the area, he performs 384 sensor all the work: the picture is convincing extreme depth of detail and Rich contrast – The 12 pixel pitch provides excellent image values and the OLED display ensures a noise-free and sharp image.
The optical magnification is due to the relatively small 25mm lens a little weaker: You shouldn't go beyond 5x magnification, otherwise the image will become too pixelated. Also the digital zoom is more than maxed out with a 4x magnification. Overall, the magnification performance of the MAL25 is slightly lower - but the exceptionally good image quality is impressive. Even if the manufacturer has one Detection distance of 1200 meters indicates, we can according to our Infiray Mate MAL25 test says that the camera's real performance in the field is a little more modest. Therefore, we would recommend the attachment above all for those Forest hunting Recommend: Here you will get the best views with the 18 meter wide field of view.
