As is typical for products from Hikmicro, this binocular of the RAPTOR RQ50LN series also offers only the most advanced and highest quality hardware and software. Its biggest advantage is the combination of thermal imaging, a laser rangefinder, standard full-colour daytime vision and night vision with infrared illumination.
The thermal imaging module with a 50mm lens, a 20µm 640x512px sensor with a sensitivity of NETD <20mK (the lower the value, the more sensitive it is), 16x digital and 3.4x optical zoom enables use even in adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog or snow and can detect a 1.7m tall object at an impressive distance of up to 2600m.
The optical module with a resolution of 2560x1440px provides both standard full-colour daytime mode and night vision with infrared illumination at a wavelength of 940nm. A clear image even in fog is ensured by the Defog function, which automatically optimises image quality in low-visibility conditions.
With the laser 905nm rangefinder you can measure the distance to the target up to 1000m with high accuracy of ±1m.
The binocular is equipped with a 0.39“ OLED display with a high resolution of 1024x768px, two eyepieces adjustable in the range from 60 to 70mm with dioptre correction from -5D to +3D, and a tripod mounting thread 1/4“-20-UNC. The device has a water resistance rating of IP67.
In total, the device offers 6 different image modes: White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, Optical and also the Image Fusion mode, which merges the thermal and optical image to achieve a high-quality thermal recording enriched with details that thermal imaging alone cannot capture.
The Picture-in-picture function is a matter of course and allows you to zoom in on the target while maintaining the overall field of view of the surroundings. Also worth mentioning are the GPS and DMC (Digital Magnetic Compass) functions, thanks to which you always know where the footage was recorded. All photos and videos stored in the built-in 64GB storage can be browsed in the local album, or viewed in the mobile Hikmicro Sight app, to which the footage can be streamed in real time.
Power is supplied by 3 replaceable 18650 batteries, which allow the binocular to operate continuously for up to 8 hours. Further power saving is provided by the Smart IR function, which automatically adjusts the illuminator output according to the environment, and by the automatic display shut-off when the device is moved away from the eyes.
