INFITAC Fast Mini FMP13: Compact Thermal Sight for Ultimate Low-Light Tactical Advantage
- TheINFITAC Fast Mini FMP13 is an advanced thermal optic engineered to provide a critical edge in low-visibility engagements. It's built for operators who require reliability and clear sight pictures when darkness or obscurants are a factor.
- Core Capability - Thermal Imaging: It features a 256×192 resolution thermal sensor with a 12µm pixel pitch and a NETD of ≤25 mK, delivering a clear thermal signature of targets. This is displayed on a 1.4-inch 360×300 screen with a smooth 60Hz refresh rate, crucial for tracking moving targets.
- Operational Durability: Engineered for demanding field use, the FMP13 is IP67 rated waterproof, meaning it can be submerged up to 33 feet (10m). It’s also built to withstand recoil up to 1200g and has been tested to endure drops from 5 feet. The housing is constructed from AL7075-T6 material.
- User-Centric Interface: Operations such as zeroing, switching between multiple color palettes and reticle options, and other adjustments are managed through simple touch screen controls.
- Optical Performance: It is equipped with a 13mm F1.0 objective lens. It offers a thermal detection range of approximately 100 yards, though this can vary with environmental conditions.
- Run Up to 5 Hours on a Replaceable Battery: The unit operates for 4 to 5 hours on a single, easily replaceable CR2 battery. For extended operations, you can plug an external battery pack directly into the Type-C USB port. The optic will automatically prioritize the external power source to keep your device running longer. While the USB-C port does not recharge the internal battery, a built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display brightness to help maximize your overall power usage.

Infitac Fast Mini FAQs
Is the INFITAC Fast Mini FMP13 suitable for daytime use like a regular red dot?
The FMP13 is primarily designed as a thermal imaging sight for optimal performance in low-light and nighttime conditions. It utilizes advanced thermal and infrared capabilities to detect heat signatures. While it offers clear visibility in various lighting, including some low-visibility daytime situations, it does not have a traditional red dot daytime function. Its strength lies in providing a tactical advantage when light is scarce.
What is the effective thermal detection range of the FMP13?
The thermal detection range for the FMP13 is approximately 100 yards. However, this can vary depending on the surrounding environmental conditions, such as ambient temperature and humidity, as well as the size and heat signature of the target.
How durable is the INFITAC Fast Mini FMP13? Can it withstand rough handling?
Absolutely. The FMP13 is built for rugged operational use. It is IP67 waterproof rated, meaning it can be submerged up to 33 feet (10m). It’s constructed from high-strength AL7075-T6 material and designed to withstand recoil up to 1200g. In rigorous testing, it endured multiple chest-high drop tests from 5 feet and continued to function perfectly. While no optic should be intentionally abused, the FMP13 is built to handle accidental impacts that can occur in the field.
What kind of firearms is the FMP13 compatible with for mounting?
The FMP13 offers excellent versatility. It comes with a standard RMR footprint, ensuring seamless plug-and-play compatibility with any firearm that utilizes this common mounting solution for pistols. Furthermore, it supports multiple other pistol footprints (such as RMSc, DPP, MOS) and can also function as a secondary optic for rifles using optionally purchased mounts like Picatinny, 30mm Ring, 45° Offset, or Aimpoint Acro mounts. It has been rigorously tested for recoil on a wide range of firearms, including the SCAR MK17, FNX .45 Tactical, Desert Eagle .50, lever-action .45/70, Beretta 1301 12ga, various Glocks, AR10s, and AR15s.
Can the FMP13 see through glass or heavy fog?
The FMP13 utilizes thermal imaging technology. Thermal imaging does not allow for visibility through glass; instead, you will see your own reflection if you try to look through glass with it. However, thermal imaging is exceptionally effective at cutting through obscurants like smoke, dust, and even heavy fog, providing a clear advantage in such conditions where traditional optics would be significantly impaired.
What are the power options for the FMP13, and what is the expected battery life?
The FMP13 is powered by a CR2 battery, offering up to 5 hours of continuous operation (at a temperature of 22∘C). It also includes a USB-C input port for connecting an external battery pack, and the unit will prioritize drawing power from the external source over the internal battery. It's important to note that the internal batteries will not charge when an external battery pack is connected. Battery runtime can vary based on environmental conditions; for instance, in bright sunlight, the ambient light sensor may keep the screen at maximum brightness, potentially depleting the battery faster, while in low-light settings, battery life can be extended.
What are the key thermal imaging specifications of the FMP13 that contribute to its performance?
The FMP13 features a thermal sensor with a 256×192 pixel resolution and a 12µm pixel pitch. It boasts a high thermal sensitivity with an NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) of ≤25 mK. This low NETD value means it can detect very small temperature differences, resulting in a clearer, more detailed thermal image, which is crucial for target identification. This is combined with a smooth 60Hz refresh rate, vital for tracking moving targets without lag and reducing operator eye strain.
How are the settings and features, like reticles and color palettes, controlled on the FMP13?
The FMP13 is designed for ease of use in dynamic situations. It features simple touch screen controls. This allows you to intuitively complete zeroing, switch between the multiple available color palettes and reticle options, and perform all other operations directly on the 1.4-inch display screen. The available reticles include options like a 5 MOA dot, an 8 MOA dot & 65 MOA circle, and an 8 MOA dot & 130 MOA circle.
