A notable addition this year was the introduction of a night vision tunnel, allowing visitors to witness the remarkable capabilities of the technology before making a decision.
Here are five key takeaways that could potentially shape the future of the thermal industry:
ALPEX 4K – Redefining the 24/7 Hunting Game
HIKMICRO ALPEX series set a new standard for digital hunting optics when it was launched in 2022. It was named Best Night Vision Product at the 2023 British Shooting Awards. This advanced digital day and night vision scope builds on a winning formula with even higher specification and upgraded performance in every area.
The ALPEX 4K is equipped with a 3840 x 2160 UHD detector and 3.5 – 28x continuous magnification, the ALPEX 4K covers every hunting scenario with precision. Its 0.49’’ 1920 x 1080 sub-round large OLED display unlocks a new observation perspective, giving a 15.3m field of view at 100m. This is boosted by F1.2 – F2.5 adjustable aperture which can be utilised to eliminate overexposure and enhance depth of field for unparalleled daytime hunting. This combination of a wide field of view, 4K image quality and powerful zoom reveals the target in phenomenally fine detail, enabling the hunter to observe features such as fur and antlers for clear quarry identification.
There are two models of the ALPEX 4K, the A50E and the A50EL, the latter of which features a built-in laser rangefinder. This feature shows precise distance to target out to 1000m and accurate to +/-1m – at the press of a button. The device’s Integrated Ballistic Calculator can then be used to adjust the point of aim to compensate for bullet-drop, keeping shots right on target even at extreme range.
LYNX 2.0 & STELLAR 2.0 – Expanding the 20mK thermal line-up
The eagerly-awaited update to the best-selling compact thermal spotter, now LYNX 2.0 is equipped with a high-sensitivity sub-20mK thermal module. This advancement combines with 384×288 resolution 12μm detector and 1024×768 resolution 0.39-inch OLED display to deliver detailed, informative images for clear observation and confident target identification in all weather. This device is powered by a replaceable rechargeable battery which gives up to 6.5 hours of continuous operation.
All this performance has been built into a compact, pocket-sized monocular that weighs just 277g. Lightweight and easy to carry, the LYNX 2.0 has been designed with excellent balance and feels great in the hand.
The STELLAR SQ50 2.0, delivers market-leading sub-20mK viewing in a unit and backs up by a 640×512 resolution 12 μm detector thermal detector, 50mm F1.0 lens and 1920 x 1080 0.49-inch semi-round OLED display to deliver stunning image quality with a detection range of up to 2600m. These features are enhanced by the Image Pro algorithm and result in exceptionally sharp viewing with vivid, informative, layered images for detailed target recognition even in the hardest weather conditions.
Two rechargeable internal lithium batteries and one replaceable rechargeable battery work with the STELLAR 2.0’s ultra-low power consumption system to give a continuous runtime of up to 11 hours, so you will never miss out on that precious hunting experience. The STELLAR 2.0 boasts 15.4×19.2m field of view at 100m and 3.3-26.4x (8x) magnification to cover everything from close-range shooting demanding fast target acquisition to high-precision long-range hunting.
With their sub-20mK performance and remarkable image quality, these two products make for an exceptional hunting combo. The compact, lightweight LYNX 2.0 thermal monocular is easy to carry, and its excellent viewing experience makes it easy to spot and identify targets. Then switch over to the super-clear, ultra-precise STELLAR 2.0. This scope’s remarkable clarity and leading features facilitate safe, responsible accurate shooting to keep your right on target.
