Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ How does a thermal imaging scope cap work?
The thermal imaging cap mounted on the scope acts as an attachment that records thermal radiation and converts it into an image visible through daylight optics. This allows the user to enjoy the benefits of thermal imaging without having to remove the classic spotting scope - just mount the cap on the lens. This solution makes it possible to quickly transform an ordinary spotting scope into observation equipment that works in total darkness, while maintaining the settings and target reticle. Good models of caps will be designs such as HIKMICRO Thunder TE19CR 2.0 or HIKMICRO Thunder TH35C 3.0.
2️⃣ What is the difference between a cap and a thermal imaging sight?
A thermal sight is a module mounted in front of a classic spotting scope, which allows thermal observation without changing the sighting instrument - preserving the scope's reticle and its settings. A thermal sight, on the other hand, is a full-fledged sighting device with its own reticle, electronics and configuration capabilities, which replaces traditional optics. They also differ in functionality - a sight often offers extensive ballistic options, image registration and an integrated rangefinder, while a cap retains more flexibility of use and can be quickly removed. Examples include the HIKMICRO Thunder TQ35C 3.0 thermal imaging cap and the HIKMICRO Stellar SQ50L 3.0 thermal imaging sight.
3️⃣ Do thermal imaging caps fit any scope?
No, thermal imaging caps do not fit every scope. Their compatibility depends primarily on the outer diameter of the scope's lens, to which they are attached with special adapters.
4️⃣ How to mount a thermal imaging cap on a weapon?
Mounting a thermal imaging cap on a weapon involves precisely positioning it in front of the lens of a classic rifle scope, usually using a special adapter to match the diameter of the scope. It is crucial to ensure the alignment and stability of the mount to avoid image shifts and maintain accuracy. After attaching the cap, it is a good idea to perform test shooting to check that the thermal image coincides with the scope's aiming point - this will ensure the full functionality of the optical set. In our store you will find caps such as the HIKMICRO Thunder TE19CR 2.0 or the HIKMICRO Thunder TH35C 3.0 model.
5️⃣ Do thermal imaging caps affect accuracy?
Yes, thermal imaging caps can affect accuracy, especially when they are improperly mounted or do not mate perfectly with daylight optics. The key is to precisely align the cap on the scope's axis and use a high-quality adapter to ensure stability and no misalignment during shooting.
