HIKMICRO Introduces Innovative Thermal Monocular Scopes
HIKMICRO, a leading provider of thermal imaging technology, is set to make waves in the observational equipment industry with the launch of their new thermal monocular scopes, the
CONDOR LRF 2.0 Series. Produced by Sightron Japan, the highly anticipated release includes two models that cater to both casual observers and avid wildlife enthusiasts. Orders for the CONDOR series will be accepted starting
May 1, 2026, with expected delivery within approximately 1.5 months.
Unmatched Temperature Resolution
At the heart of the CONDOR LRF 2.0 series is a high-sensitivity sensor that boasts a
NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) of below 15mK, allowing users to distinguish temperature differences as minute as
0.015°C. This remarkable capability ensures that details of animals and humans, along with their interactions with the environment, are captured with crystal clarity—providing users with an exceptional viewing experience even in challenging conditions.
Revolutionary Shutterless Imaging System
Unlike traditional thermal scopes that rely on shutters for image correction, which often result in temporary freezes during use, the CONDOR series introduces a groundbreaking
HIKMICRO Shutterless Imaging System (HSIS). This innovative approach eliminates the frustration of image interruptions when shifting focus or adjusting settings, enabling users to maintain optimal observation quality and never miss critical moments. Notably, the system includes a shutter module that operates during power-up or abrupt temperature changes, ensuring consistent high-quality images.
Intuitive Focus Wheel
The CONDOR LRF 2.0 series features an elegant design that incorporates a new
rear-focus wheel technology. This allows for effortless adjustments using just one's index finger while holding the device, making it possible to focus and manipulate various settings single-handedly. Users can easily switch targets from close to far distances without any hassle, enhancing the efficiency of their outdoor experiences.
Enhanced Visual Experience with OLED Displays
Equipped with a
0.49-inch Full HD OLED display, which is
25% larger than previous models, the CONDOR LRF 2.0 series offers vivid imagery, revealing intricate details of both subjects and backgrounds. Additionally, users can customize their viewing experience by choosing between circular and rectangular display options to suit their preferences.
Integrated Laser Range Finder
To better assess targets, the CONDOR LRF 2.0 series includes a precise laser range finder that can measure distances up to
1,000 meters with an impressive accuracy of
±1m. The series introduces a new
horizontal distance display option, particularly useful in mountainous terrains, allowing users to make informed decisions based on complex field conditions.
User-Centric Design
The user-oriented design of the CONDOR series emphasizes ergonomics, featuring a compact and lightweight body that fits comfortably in any hand. The soft rubber housing enhances grip, ensuring comfort during extended periods of use. Its layout includes tactile arrows for blind operation, allowing users to adjust settings without visual confirmation—ideal for low-light conditions. Furthermore, the buttons are designed to be silent, ensuring discreet usage in quiet environments.
Enhanced Battery and Additional Features
The CONDOR series is equipped with a high-capacity rechargeable battery, providing over
6.5 hours of continuous operation. Support for external power supplies, such as commercial mobile batteries, ensures users can extend their observational sessions without worry.
Also new are
two monochrome image palette options—red and green—to significantly reduce eye strain during prolonged use, especially in darkness.
Accessibility and Additional Accessories
An included local album feature enables immediate viewing of captured images and videos, enhancing user interaction. The rugged
magnesium alloy housing ensures durability, while power-up requires a mere
three seconds. A power-saving feature detects the scope's tilt and turns off the display when inactive. The package comes complete with a hand strap, neck strap, and pouch for versatile carrying options.
