The Infiray Mate MAH50 review

An attachment with new features: The technical equipment of the Infiray Mate MAH50 in the test

As a premium class thermal imaging attachment, you can use the new one when equipped Infiray Expect a lot from the Mate MAH50. Of course, there shouldn't be a lack of features such as WiFi or video functions - and in fact the Waidmann will not be disappointed with this attachment. The most important features of the technical equipment we have summarized it for you here:

  • Housing: The Infiray Mate MAH50 is made of a durable magnesium alloy. Thanks to the material, the attachment is not only relatively light, but also particularly stable. Recoils of up to 8000 joules can be absorbed and thanks to the IP-67 protection class, use is possible in any weather.
  • WiFi connection & app: The Mate MAH50 is equipped with a WiFi function. You can connect it to other devices via WLAN or switch the image playback to them Infiray Outdoor app transfer to further improve the image quality.
  • Internal battery: The device has a built-in battery that must be charged using the included USB-C cable. According to the manufacturer, the battery life is up to 4 hours - but from our own experience we would reduce the running time to 3 hours. What matters is whether you do that Infiray You can leave the Mate MAH50 on all the time, put it in standby mode when not in use, or use an external power bank to extend the operating time. This means that battery life of 4-12 hours can be easily achieved.
  • Space-saving processing: What we noticed positively here is that the attachment takes up very little space on the rifle. Unlike other, expansive cameras, there is a healthy distance between the device and the rifle barrel, so that hunters who often have to struggle with a lack of space on the rifle with other attachments are also well served here.
  • An innovative control panel with a particularly strong magnet that is integrated into the device as a keyboard and can be removed at will and used as a remote control. Thanks to the magnet, the control panel can be easily attached to the weapon housing or attached with an adapter plate using Velcro fasteners.
  • Magnetic lens flap, which can be closed silently.

 

Intelligent menu navigation that makes your life easier

At our Infiray Mate MAH50 test we would like to pay particular attention to this Menu and its operation because the most important innovations for you can be found here. First of all we have to enter here big praise Infiray because the thermal imaging giant has finally decided to most people. Label menu items individually – and even that auf Deutsch! Long and unnecessary guesswork on the hunt or having to resort to the operating instructions are a thing of the past: Each menu icon has its own clear label. Top!

Let's get straight to the point: the menu as a whole very clear and easy to understand. There is a main menu through which you can access two further submenus can switch. To switch from the main or start menu to one of the other menu fields, you must briefly press the right button on the remote control. If you hold the button down longer, you will go to the main menu.

In the first submenu you can make the following settings that affect immediate image playback:

  • Brightness
  • Degree of softness of image reproduction
  • Environment Type (Scene Mode): Here you can choose between the modes “Forest”, “Flatland” and “City”. In most cases it doesn't make a big difference which mode you have set. It's still best to try out which of the three settings suits you best (e.g. in different weather conditions).

In the second submenu you will find all other settings:

  • Toggle Ultra Clear Mode on/off
  • Turning the WiFi on/off
  • Video output
  • Calibration
  • zeroing in
  • Weapon storage (shooting profiles)
  • Shooting range notification (with which you can display the approximate distance to the piece)
  • Pixel error correction
  • Date
  • Time
  • Language
  • Reset to factory settings
  • Device information

The Infiray of course also has different color modes, which you can set and try out as you wish. Below are the playback modes Black Hot, White Hot, Red Hot and False Colors – although in our opinion the image quality is best with Black Hot.

Another small but helpful aspect: In the bottom bar of the display you will see: which menu settings you have selected and activated. So you can always see exactly how your image quality changes due to which setting, etc Make optimal use of the interaction of different menu options.

 

Zeroing in is child's play

The Infiray Mate MAH50 has a particularly user-friendly zeroing menu, which you can access via the menu item “Zero in”. To zero in on the target perfectly, you can You can even move the X and Y axes of the coordinate field at the same timeuntil the thermal imaging camera matches the optics of your rifle perfectly.

You can access these settings via the Zeroing profiles (weapon storage) for the respective target optics of your rifle. That's what trumps here Infiray Mate MAH50 with different modes numbered from G1 to G4 and for Optics with different basic magnifications are suitable. This is not only practical if you want to quickly switch the MAH50 to another rifle. In this way there is also one up to 20x basic magnification possible without major losses in image quality. This is without a doubt a milestone in attachment technology.

 

The most important tricks for the remote control

Correct handling of the remote control still takes time. As a rule, however, you quickly get used to it and use it correctly as if you were sleeping. In addition to the one mentioned above Press speed of the right button (a short press switches to the submenus, a long press switches to the main menu) there are further button functions, which we will briefly summarize for you here:

Taste feature
Top button Brightness settings
Bottom button
Triggers the shutter
Left button (briefly pressed)
