HIKMICRO Thunder TQ50CL 3.0 thermal clip-on with laser rangefinder

HIKMICRO Thunder TQ50CL 3.0 is a thermal clip-on with a laser rangefinder, combining high image quality with a wide field of view for comfortable observation and aiming. Third-generation Thunder thermal devices have a compact construction and high image quality that make detecting and observing game straightforward.

Rangefinder and Thunder 3.0 platform

The laser rangefinder lets the shooter determine distance precisely up to 1000 m and apply corrections before taking a shot. Thunder 3.0 clip-ons use an efficient thermal detector with higher sensitivity and the latest image-processing algorithm, helping capture fine details of the observed object in different weather and light conditions.

Image quality and dual-use notice

HIKVISION, the producer behind HIKMICRO thermal sights, uses advanced solutions for high image quality. A sensor below 15 mK improves target recognition and detailed identification. The OLED display supports long use and a clear picture, with display modes Black Hot, White Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, Red monochrome and Green monochrome. The device can capture photos and videos for recording hunting moments or preparing reference material for shooting-technique improvement. Dual-use products have civil and military applications; export from Poland is subject to strict regulations intended to prevent use in weapon production and threats to international security, and may require special licences.
