Hikmicro Falcon FQ35 2.0

HikMicro presents the Falcon FQ35 2.0, its proven monocular thermal imaging handheld device in an improved second version.The HikMicro Falcon FQ35 is very popular among hunters because it detects even minimal temperature differences and produces contrast-rich, detailed, sharp images of wildlife. The Chinese company has now launched a 2.0 version that shows improvements in all areas. The large f/1.0 aperture of the 35 mm lens allows for good capture of temperature radiation. The detection range of the detector is 1,800 m, the response distance is 550 m, and the large field of view is 21.9×17.5 m at 100 m. The powerful digital zoom allows for up to 8x magnification. This enables reliable identification of objects at any time, with no details hidden even at great distances.

The Sensor
The Q models of the Falcon series are characterized by their high-resolution 12-μm thermal sensors with 640x512 IR pixels. In the Falcon FQ35 2.0, the NETD value has been improved to <15 mK. Minimal thermal differences are identified regardless of external conditions and converted into contrast-rich and razor-sharp images. The frame rate is 50 Hz, allowing for the capture of moving objects without impairments. The innovative shutterless system (HSIS) also contributes to a smooth viewing experience. The detection range is 1,800 m, and the magnification factor is 1.9-15.2× (8× zoom).

The Display
The image processing algorithm Image Pro 2.0 developed by HikMicro generates perfectly optimized images from the thermal data, displayed on the OLED screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 px (0.49‘‘). The display features Warm and Cold color modes as well as 6 color palettes: Black Hot, White Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, Red Monochrome, and Green Monochrome. With the practical picture-in-picture function, you can see your wildlife in an enlarged section without losing sight of the overall view.

The Device
The monocular thermal imaging handheld device Falcon FQ35 2.0 not only has excellent thermo-optical properties but also a design that stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness. The ergonomic and compact cylindrical shape allows for one-handed operation with the smooth focus wheel and is suitable for both left- and right-handed users. Additionally, the device uses a soft and skin-friendly material. The design has been optimized based on user feedback regarding intuitive operation and user-friendliness. The button arrangement with different shapes allows for quick recognition and control of each function, even while wearing gloves and in complete darkness. The robust magnesium housing with a magnetic lens cover prevents corrosion from sweat, rain, fog, or dew. The coating of the lens effectively prevents scratching.

The Operation
The Falcon FQ35 2.0 is powered by 2 replaceable and rechargeable 21700 batteries. The operating time is up to 6.5 hours of continuous use. An integrated tilt sensor puts the device into standby mode when not in use. Additionally, any standard power bank can be used as an external power source via a USB Type-C interface.

The App
To take full advantage of your Falcon FQ35 2.0, it is recommended to install the HikMicro app on your smartphone. With it, you can update the firmware, browse your recordings in the device's local album and save them externally, access a preview function, remote control, as well as instructional videos, repair records, and warranty details.
