An upgraded version of the HIKMICRO Thunder TQ50 thermal imaging sight, bringing this highly successful design up to the latest standards. By optimizing the performance of the device, HIKVISION engineers have achieved a substantial increase in the model's operating time - it will now allow for up to 6.5 hours of continuous operation.
The refresh rate of the device has also been changed, which, thanks to an increase to 50 Hz, now guarantees extremely high smoothness and, consequently, comfort of observation. The model has also been given the possibility of audio recording, as well as activation of recording by sensing the recoil of the weapon, on which it was mounted. However, the sight still retains the advantages of the original - an extremely compact design and excellent image quality, offering effective detection of game.
Construction of the HIKMICRO TQ50 thermal imager
The design guarantees resistance to shock, impact and weather conditions. The body has been protected against water, dust and moisture (IP67 class), so the sight is resistant to any weather conditions that may occur during hunting. It is extremely important to remain quiet during the hunt for game, so rubber buttons with noiseless operation have been used to operate the sight.
Modular design of the thermal sight
One of the main advantages of HIKMICRO thermal sight is its modular design, thanks to which one device can perform various tasks. We offer the necessary accessories to make the HIKMICRO thermal imager your favorite tool for hunting and observation. The accessories are fully compatible with all HIKMICRO Thunder thermal imagers , so anyone can customize them to suit their needs.
Excellent image performance
The HIKMICRO Thunder TQ50 uses a sensitive 640 × 512 px sensor with <20 mK sensitivity, a high-quality 1024×768 px OLED display, a 50 mm lens and a functional rangefinder. The lower the NETD value, the better the sensor detects temperature differences of objects, which contributes to excellent image quality. Such parameters ensure a clear image in any environmental conditions, so the viewfinder can be used in total darkness, fog, smoke, dust, as well as in rain and snow. The thermal imager has an optical magnification of 2.6 × and target detection at a distance of up to 2,600 m. The HIKMICRO Thunder TQ50 has the popular PiP (picture-in-picture) function that allows the hunter to simultaneously and precisely observe a target while maintaining a wide field of view. The Thunder also uses digital zoom in the 2×, 4× and 8× ranges.
The hunter has 4 of the most popular display modes at his disposal, and can choose between:
- White hot - warm in bright color. The higher the temperature, the lighter the tone.
- Black hot - warm in dark color. The higher the temperature, the darker the tonality.
- Red hot - image as in "black hot" with red highlighting of the warmest elements.
- Fusion - from high temperature to low temperature, the image is colored from white, yellow, red, pink to purple.
Thermal image technologies:
- DDE (digital detail enhancement) - digital detail enhancement, smooths the image while emphasizing details,
- 3DDNR (3D digital noise reduction) - digital noise reduction, effectively removes noise and affects image quality,
- AGC (automatic gain control) - automatic gain control, improves the contrast of the displayed scene.
Variable targeting reticles - thermal imaging viewfinder modes
The HIKMICRO Thunder PRO TQ50 offers 5 versions of target reticles in 3 colors and the option to completely disable the reticle when using the viewfinder for normal observation. HIKMICRO Thunder PRO TQ50 provides not only excellent support for hunting, but also for observation and patrol activities.
Functionality of the HIKMICRO Thunder hunting thermal sight
The Thunder thermal imager is powered by the included dedicated performance batteries. The operating time in this version reaches up to 6.5 hours and can be increased by connecting a power-bank (USB-C port). The upgrade also added a charging function for the thermal imager via the USB-C port. The device has 16GB of built-in memory for storing recorded photos or video footage.
