Hi everyone, this is Ken, Product Development Lead at cgtacticals.
Today I’m really excited to share some big news—we’re officially launching two ultra‑compact MINI thermal optics. They’re smaller, lighter, more versatile, and far more capable than traditional thermal sights.

1. cgtacticals VIRGO S2 Mini – A Multi‑Purpose Thermal Sight That Covers All Scenarios

Let’s start with our VIRGO S2 Mini Thermal Sight.

This is a true “multi‑platform thermal optic,” capable of functioning as:

Handheld Thermal
Rifle Thermal Sight
Helmet Thermal Sight
Pistol Thermal Sight

Whether you’re a tactical user, MILSIM AIRSOFT player, night hunter, or law‑enforcement user—it adapts to all of your needs.

Ultra‑Lightweight: Only 115g, Nearly Weightless on a Helmet

The entire unit weighs just 115 grams.
When mounted on a helmet, you can barely feel the weight—no more neck strain or front‑heavy feeling like traditional thermal optics.

A Complete Thermal Mounting Ecosystem

To fully unlock the potential of this tiny thermal optic, we designed a full ecosystem of mounts:

Helmet Thermal Use: Helmet Mount + Eyepiece

This allows for more natural observation with a comfortable viewing angle and clearer situational awareness.

Rifle Thermal Use: Two Options

Picatinny Thermal Mount (for standalone rifle thermal sight use)
Flip‑to‑Side Thermal Mount
- Use it as a backup thermal sight
- Flip it out of the way when not needed
- No need to remove your daytime optic

It sounds crazy, but it works—and it works very well.

Front‑Mounted Inline Thermal Configuration

Mount it in front of your daytime scope,
and your daytime optic instantly gains thermal capability.

Many testers have said this is their favorite feature.

Major Update: Pricing Reduced to Just $599!

We re‑evaluated our manufacturing and supply chain cost, and pushed the price down from the original $659 to just $599.

This is almost at our cost line—but we want more users to experience a truly powerful compact thermal sight.

And yes—

It comes with a full 2‑year warranty.

So feel confident placing your order!**

2. SPECOOPTICS S213 Compact Pistol Thermal Sight – A True 110g Pistol‑Mounted Thermal Optic

The second product I’m excited about is our upcoming S213 Mini Pistol Thermal Sight.

This is a dedicated, purpose‑built thermal optic for pistol platforms.

Ultra‑Light 110g Square‑Body Design

At only 110 grams,
its square form factor matches pistol slides and pistol ergonomics very naturally.

Multiple Footprints Available – Including RMR

We offer several mounting plates, including:

RMR Footprint
Other common pistol optic footprints

It can be mounted on Glock, SIG, CZ, Canik, and many other platforms.
