Description
Nocpix sits the RICO 3 PRO H50R right at the top of the RICO 3 family, and it earns the spot. At its core is a 640×512, 12-micron thermal sensor with a ≤15 mK sensitivity rating and a 60 Hz refresh rate, matched to a fast 50mm F/1.0 germanium objective lens and 3X native magnification. That combination gives you real image scale at distance, so identifying hogs and coyotes across a crop field or a long calling setup is a lot less guesswork. The tighter 8.8° x 7.0° field of view trades some close-range width for that reach, which is exactly what you want when most of your shots stretch out past the easy stuff.
Autofocus and Ocular Zoom on the RICO 3 PRO
The headline feature is the industry-first Autofocus. It pulls distance data straight from the built-in laser rangefinder and dials in a crisp image with one button press, so there's no fumbling with the focus ring in the dark. Nocpix kept a manual focus control too, so you're never locked into the automated system. Pair that with Ocular Zoom 2.0, which uses actual lenses rather than software to change magnification, and you get cleaner detail as you zoom instead of the mushy digital blow-up you'd expect. The traditional throw lever makes swapping magnification quick and natural when your hands are cold and the animal won't wait.
Ranging, Ballistics, and All-Night Runtime
The integrated laser rangefinder reaches out to 1,600 yards, and the onboard ballistic calculator takes that range along with your velocity, ballistic coefficient, zero, and environmental data to hand you a corrected hold. Detection range runs out to roughly 2,840 yards. Reality+ 2.0 image processing sharpens contrast and clarity, which really shows in fog, humidity, and other low-contrast conditions that usually wash a thermal image out. The removable NBP-8 batteries are rated up to 10 hours each, with a spare in the box so you can swap and keep hunting.
Built for the Field
The magnesium-alloy housing carries an IP67 rating and is built to handle recoil classes up to .300 Win Mag. You also get 64GB of onboard storage, Recoil-Activated Video, Picture-in-Picture, Wi-Fi with Nocpix app support, a customizable remote, and a dual-throw quick-detach Picatinny mount. It's a heavier optic than the standard H50R, but the payoff is a genuinely automated, precise shooting system for hunters who put in the long nights.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Autofocus on the RICO 3 PRO H50R actually work?
The Autofocus pulls distance data from the built-in laser rangefinder and adjusts the objective focus for you with a single button press. It's a lot like tapping to focus on a modern smartphone camera. Nocpix also kept a manual focus control, so you can fine-tune the image yourself whenever you prefer.
What's the difference between Ocular Zoom 2.0 and regular digital zoom?
Ocular Zoom 2.0 uses actual glass lenses to change magnification, giving you true optical zoom up to 2X. Most thermal optics rely on digital zoom, which just enlarges the image on the display and softens the detail. The result on the PRO H50R is a cleaner, sharper picture when you zoom in on a target.
How long will the batteries last on the RICO 3 PRO H50R?
The removable NBP-8 battery packs are rated for up to 10 hours of runtime each, and around 7 hours in extreme cold down to -4°F. A spare battery comes in the box, so you can swap packs mid-hunt and keep going. It'll comfortably carry most hunters through a full night.
Is the RICO 3 PRO H50R a good fit for open-field predator and hog hunting?
It's built for exactly that kind of work. The 640×512 sensor, 50mm lens, and 3X base magnification give you the image scale and detail to identify animals across large fields and longer calling setups. Just know the narrower field of view is less forgiving for spotting movers at close range, so many hunters pair it with a separate handheld scanner.
