Hikmicro Lynx LQ35 3.0

With the Lynx LQ35 3.0, Hikmicro presents a consistently reliable and extremely powerful thermal imaging monocular with a lightweight and compact design at an affordable price.For some time now, the popular Lynx thermal imaging monoculars have been offered in the comprehensively optimized 3rd generation. Now, Hikmicro has expanded the Lynx 3.0 series with two additional models, equipped with a powerful 640x512 sensor. The handheld devices boast improved performance features, new functionalities, an optimized design, and the latest image algorithm with AI support. With a field of view of 21.9x13.2 m at 100 m, a magnification range of 1.9x to 15.2x, and the 35-mm lens, the LQ35 3.0 is the ideal solution for medium to long-range applications.

The Sensor
In Hikmicro's system, the Q models are the devices with the largest sensor. Accordingly, the LQ35 3.0 features a high-resolution 12-μm thermal sensor produced by Hikmicro itself, with 640x512 px and a NETD value of ≤15 mK. This allows it to detect even the smallest temperature differences. In conjunction with the 35-mm lens, an F/1.0 aperture, and the intelligent Image Pro 3.0 algorithm, it delivers clear and contrast-rich detailed images. The detection range is 1,800 m, and the field of view of 21.9x13.2 m at 100 m provides a good overview, ensuring that identified objects are not lost from sight.

The Display
The latest Hikmicro image processing algorithm Image Pro 3.0 generates optimized images from the thermal data on the 49-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1920x1080 px, with the display being round or rectangular depending on preference. Additionally, the display features a picture-in-picture function. The intuitive menu is hierarchically arranged and can be customized to quickly access frequently used functions. Depending on visibility conditions and personal needs, users can choose between the color tones Cold and Warm, as well as the modes Black Hot, White Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, Red Monochrome, and Green Monochrome. The Shutterless Image System (HSIS) prevents image freezing.

The Device
With its compact dimensions of 169.6x53.6x49.5 mm and a lightweight of 354.5 g with battery, the Lynx LQ35 3.0 can be easily stored in jackets or pants pockets, making it an ideal constant companion in the field. The monocular is ergonomically designed with its optimized cylindrical shape. Operation is intuitive and extremely user-friendly due to the raised elements and the rubberized focus ring. The robust magnesium housing meets the IP67 protection class and is shock and water-resistant. The climatic operating range extends from -30 to 45 °C. The removable 18650 battery can be charged either in the monocular or in the included charger. It has a runtime of up to 5 hours at 25 °C with WiFi turned on. An automatic standby mode saves energy by turning off the display when tilted horizontally by 75° and vertically by 70°. For stationary use, an external power supply via USB-C cable is possible.

The APP
The integrated 64-GB memory offers ample space for snapshots and video clips with sound in a local album. The recorded files can be transferred to a PC or mobile device via USB. Through the integrated hotspot module, a connection can be established to the Sight app from Hikmicro on a smartphone. This turns the smartphone into a second display and remote control via WiFi.
