Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope HikMicro Stellar SQ35

The HikMicro Stellar SQ35 thermal imaging rifle scope creates very clear thermal images and bypasses otherwise obstructing factors such as darkness, bad weather and poor visibility. Thermal differences are registered by the 35 mm objective lens, interpreted and processed by the 640x512 thermal sensor and shown on the OLED display in a resolution of 1024x768 pixels, with a buttery smooth refresh rate of 50 frames per second. All this counts for objects within the observation range of a whopping 1800 metres. It's good to know that this version of the Stellar comes with a 640x512 thermal sensor, which ensures a sharper overall image and a decrease in blur/pixelation when the image is magnified.

The image can be shown in four different colour modes: Black Hot, White Hot, Red Hot and Fusion. Besides this, the Picture-in-Picture mode shows a magnified image in a separate window in the top of the display, and video with audio and snapshots of the image can be recorded to the internal memory of 64 GB. When the ‘Recoil-activation’ function is active, video gets recorded automatically as soon as the device detects recoil, and the Wi-Fi hotspot feature lets you share files and livestream the image to your smartphone, but also update the device’s firmware.

HikMicro put this high-tech system in a traditional looking exterior by retaining the well-known rifle scope design, this enables users who prefer this look to still utilise the outstanding features of this thermal imaging rifle scope and also keep using the conventional mounting system. The Stellar SQ35 comes with two internal Lithium batteries and a replaceable CR123A battery, these power sources provide the user with 13 hours of use, which can be extended by replacing the CR123A battery when it’s used up.

All of these features are protected by a sturdy aluminium housing with IP67 waterproof rating, which means that the scope can be submerged for up to one metre, for a maximum of one minute. This also gives the internal components of the Stellar SQ35 protection from 1000 g’s (g-force) of recoil.
