Hikmicro Panther LRF PQ50L 2.0

• 640×512 thermal sensor: The high-resolution 12 μm sensor shows finer heat detail, helping with target recognition and shot placement at longer distances and in cluttered terrain.
• Integrated 600 m laser rangefinder: Built-in distance measurement reduces guesswork in the field and makes it easier to judge holdover on uneven ground or across open fields.
• 50 mm F1.0 objective lens: The fast lens gathers more thermal energy, which improves image brightness and detail in rain, fog, and low-contrast conditions.
• 2.6× base magnification with digital zoom to 20.8×: The lower native magnification keeps a practical field of view for scanning, while higher zoom helps inspect animals or targets at distance.
• OLED display and onboard recording: The 1024×768 display presents a clear viewing image, while photo, video, WiFi, and video output functions make it easier to document and review observations.

About the Hikmicro Panther LRF Series

The Hikmicro Panther LRF series is a family of thermal riflescopes built around an integrated laser rangefinder, giving hunters and night-shooting users a single device for observation, ranging, and aiming. Within Hikmicro’s thermal scope lineup, the Panther LRF models sit as dedicated weapon sights designed for field use where distance estimation and reliable thermal detection matter as much as image quality. The series includes models such as PH35L, PH50L, PQ35L, and PQ50L, covering different sensor and lens combinations for varied terrain and engagement distances.

Across the range, the design focuses on practical shooting use: VOx thermal sensors with 12 μm pixel pitch, NETD below 35 mK, and an F1.0 objective lens support strong thermal contrast and useful detail in difficult weather. The series also uses replaceable, rechargeable batteries, which suits longer outings better than fully sealed internal-power designs. A robust housing with IP67-rated protection and full-frame 50 Hz imaging reflects the Panther LRF approach: a thermal riflescope meant to stay responsive, weather-resistant, and straightforward to run on a rifle in real hunting conditions.

About the Hikmicro Panther LRF PQ50L 2.0

The Hikmicro Panther LRF PQ50L 2.0 is the longer-range, high-resolution version of the Panther LRF concept, combining a 640×512 uncooled FPA sensor with a 50 mm F1.0 lens and a stated 2600 m detection range. In practice, that combination is aimed at users who need more than simple heat spotting. It gives the scope the thermal reach to pick up distant heat sources while preserving enough image detail to make better decisions when scanning large fields, edges of woodland, or open ground at night.

Its 2.6× optical base magnification is useful because it starts with a more natural field view than a heavily zoomed thermal scope, making scanning and target acquisition less restrictive. When more detail is needed, digital zoom extends the view up to 20.8×, which is helpful for checking shape, movement, and background separation before taking a shot. The 20 mK NETD rating is especially important in poor thermal contrast, where animals and background can otherwise blend together; lower thermal sensitivity values generally help the image retain subtle differences in temperature.

The built-in laser rangefinder with 10 m to 600 m range and ±1 m accuracy adds practical shooting value by giving a direct distance reading inside the display, without moving to a separate handheld unit. A 1024×768 OLED display keeps the viewed image crisp, while onboard photo and video recording, WiFi connectivity, and video output support both documentation and sharing. Physically, the metal housing, waterproof and fogproof construction, 585 g weight, and operation from -30°C to +55°C make this a thermal riflescope intended for regular field use rather than occasional fair-weather outings.

About Hikmicro

HIKMICRO was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Hangzhou, China. The company specializes in thermal imaging, while also working with visible-light imaging, ultrasonic technology, electromagnetic technology, and radar. In the outdoor optics segment, its range covers thermal monoculars, thermal scopes, thermal clip-ons, digital day-and-night scopes, and multispectrum binoculars, giving the brand a broad presence across hunting and observation categories.

Its product families include LYNX, FALCON, and CONDOR thermal monoculars, STELLAR and THUNDER thermal scope lines, the ALPEX digital day-and-night series, and the HABROK multispectrum binocular range. HIKMICRO’s outdoor development has been closely tied to compact thermal detector technology, and its 2023 outdoor brochure records the release of 12 μm thermal detectors in 256×192, 384×288, and 640×512 resolutions in 2020. That background is directly relevant to products such as the Panther LRF PQ50L 2.0, where detector performance and thermal image processing define how the optic works in the field.
