HIKMICRO Thunder 3.0 TQ50CL Thermal Front Clip-On with LRF - 50mm <15mK 640x512px 12μm
The HIKMICRO Thunder 3.0 front clip on enables you to hunt with the latest generation thermal technology while also retaining the experience of shooting with your traditional optical riflescope.
The Thunder 3.0 introduces many innovations to enhance your hunting including shutterless technology and 1000m Laser Range Finder (LRF) located discreetly inside the front objective lens which allows you to accurately judge the distance to your target.
Built around HIKMICRO’s latest generation 640x512px, Sub 15mK NETD sensors, the Thunder 3.0 is capable of delivering an unbelievably detailed image. Not only does this help you to positively identify animals but also gives you a clear view of the surroundings and background. This highly accurate thermal sensor will also continue to deliver in the most challenging conditions, such as rain and fog.
The Thunder 3.0 utilises a compact and ergonomic chassis which has been developed to ensure that all of the controls fall easily to reach from your shooting position. The thunder is paired to a Rusan Quick-Release clamp system which is tailored to fit your existing optic perfectly. This system allows you to quickly and repeatably add or remove the thermal unit from your optical scope with the twist of a locking ring.
In addition to the latest hardware, HIKMICRO are committed to developing advanced software to enhance your hunting experience. The Thunder 3.0 is loaded with new technology like Image Pro 2.0 which uses intelligent algorithms to build extra detail to the image.
Another unique technology which is set to revolutionise your thermal shooting experience is shutterless technology. The shutter is used in traditional thermal devices to control image noise. It is a physical process which requires your image to freeze for a few seconds to complete. During that interruption it is impossible to take your shot. To avoid this problem, HIKMICRO have developed software which has replaced the physical shutter and removed this problem.
Powered by the same removable battery as the Thunder 2.0, the Thunder 3.0 delivers an impressive run time of 6 Hours.
