The HIKMICRO Falcon FQ50 is a state-of-the-art thermal imaging monocular designed specifically for hunting, wildlife observation, and security applications. With its combination of advanced technology, robust design, and user-friendly features, it sets new standards in its class.
Technical Specifications
- Sensor: The Falcon FQ50 is equipped with an uncooled VOx detector that offers a resolution of 640 x 512 pixels and a pixel size of 12 μm. With a thermal sensitivity (NETD) of less than 20 mK, it can accurately detect even the smallest temperature differences.
- Lens: The device features a 50 mm lens with an aperture of F0.9, allowing for an optical magnification of 2.6x. The horizontal field of view angle is 8.8°, which corresponds to a field width of about 15 meters at 100 meters.
- Display: Equipped with a high-resolution OLED display with 1024 x 768 pixels, the Falcon FQ50 delivers clear and high-contrast images. OLED displays are known for their excellent performance in low temperatures and provide a pleasant viewing experience.
- Digital Zoom: The device offers a digital zoom with 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x magnification, making details visible even at greater distances.
- Detection Range: With a maximum detection range of up to 2,600 meters, heat sources can be reliably detected at great distances.
Features and Characteristics
- Color Palettes: The Falcon FQ50 offers various color modes, including White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, and Fusion. These allow the user to choose the optimal display based on the environment and personal preferences.
- Photo and Video Recording: With an internal memory of 64 GB, both photos and videos can be stored directly on the device. This facilitates the documentation and later analysis of observations.
- Wi-Fi Connectivity: Thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi function, the Falcon FQ50 can be connected to the HIKMICRO Sight app. This allows for the transmission of live images to mobile devices as well as remote control of certain functions.
- Stadiametric Rangefinder: A stadiametric rangefinder helps estimate the distance to observed objects, which is particularly advantageous in hunting.
Design and Handling
With dimensions of 187.7 x 58.3 x 65.2 mm and a weight of 635 g, the Falcon FQ50 is compact and handy, making transport and handling easy. The large, easily accessible buttons allow for intuitive operation, even with gloves. The diopter adjustment ensures that even glasses wearers receive a clear image.
Battery Life and Power Supply
The replaceable 18650 battery offers a runtime of up to 5 hours. Two batteries are included in the package, allowing for quick changes. Charging is done via the included charger, ensuring a fast and uncomplicated power supply.
Applications
The HIKMICRO Falcon FQ50 is excellent for:
- Hunting: Detection and identification of wildlife, even in poor lighting conditions or open fields.
- Wildlife Observation: Studying animal behavior in their natural environment without disturbing them.
- Security Applications: Monitoring properties or buildings, especially at night.
Conclusion
The HIKMICRO Falcon FQ50 combines advanced technology with user-friendliness and robustness. It offers outstanding image quality, versatile features, and reliable performance, making it an ideal companion for hunters, nature observers, and security personnel. With its attractive price-performance ratio, it represents a worthwhile investment for anyone looking for a high-quality thermal imaging camera.
