Hikmicro Condor CQ50L 2.0

The HikMicro Condor CQ50L 2.0 Thermal Imaging Monocular with Laser Rangefinder Impressively Demonstrates the Current Technological State of Thermo-Optical Devices.HikMicro has updated its Condor thermal imaging handheld devices and presents the Condor CQ50L, a thermal imaging monocular with a laser rangefinder that surpasses the features already appreciated by hunters in the predecessor model. The Condor CQ50L version is designed for those who primarily seek a large detection range. Here, it extends up to 2,600 m, with a response distance of 600 m. The improvements in the thermal area are remarkable. Even minimal temperature differences are detected and transformed into contrast-rich and detailed, sharp images of the game. The large f/0.9 aperture of the 50 mm lens allows for good capture of temperature radiation. The f/0.9 aperture significantly increases light intake compared to the usual f/1.0 lenses. The field of view is 15.2×12.2 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 Condor series are characterized by their high-resolution 12 μm thermal sensors with 640x512 px. In the Condor CQ50L 2.0, the NETD value has been improved to <15 mK. Minimal thermal differences are identified regardless of external conditions and transformed 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 2,600 m, and the magnification factor is 2.7-21.6× (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 view your game in an enlarged section without losing sight of the overall picture. The menu is hierarchically structured, with frequently used functions prioritized to facilitate handling.

The Device
The Condor CQ50L 2.0 monocular thermal imaging handheld device not only boasts excellent thermo-optical properties but also a design characterized by exceptional user-friendliness, allowing for one-handed operation via the focus wheel. The curved housing fits optimally in the hand, allowing for a secure grip and is suitable for both left- and right-handed users. Additionally, the device uses soft and skin-friendly materials. The design has been optimized based on user feedback regarding intuitive operation and user-friendliness. The button layout is intuitive and easy to operate even with 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 objective lens effectively prevents scratching.

The Laser Rangefinder
The Class 1 laser rangefinder can be used in single measurement and scan modes. It has a wavelength of 905 nm, with a minimum measuring range of 10 m and a maximum of 1,000 m. This way, you always know accurately how far your object is and can make the right decision for the shot.

Operation
The Condor CQ50L 2.0 monocular is powered by 2 replaceable and rechargeable 21700 batteries, one battery less than was required for the predecessor model. 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 fully utilize all the capabilities of your Condor CQ50L 2.0 device, 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 store them externally. There is a preview function, remote control, as well as instructional videos, repair records, and warranty details.
