Liemke Luchs-1 Thermal Front Attachment

• 1x clip-on format: The Liemke Luchs-1 works as a true front attachment, so it preserves the familiar handling of the day scope while adding thermal imaging for hunting in darkness, fog or difficult background contrast.
• 640x512 VOx sensor: The high-resolution thermal sensor with 12.00 μm pixel pitch gives a more detailed heat signature image, helping with cleaner target identification and more confident observation at longer distances.
• 1024×768 OLED display: The OLED screen presents the thermal image with strong contrast and clear structure, which makes scanning, recognition and shot placement easier in changing light and weather conditions.
• 1750.00 m detection range: Long detection capability helps pick up heat sources early, giving more time to assess movement and terrain before an animal comes into practical shooting distance.
• WiFi, recording and USB power: Built-in image capture, video recording and Wifi support make documentation straightforward, while external power via USB supports extended sessions in the field.

About the Liemke Luchs Series

The Liemke Luchs series is LIEMKE’s family of pre-mounted thermal imaging devices, developed for hunters who want a compact clip-on system that can also serve as a handheld observation unit. The range currently includes the LUCHS-1, LUCHS-2 and LUCHS-25.1, with each model aimed at a different style of hunting, from mixed terrain and woodland use to longer-range field work. Across the series, LIEMKE focuses on practical field handling rather than unnecessary complexity, with Standard, Basic and Individual operating modes that let the user tailor operation to conditions and preference.

The LUCHS family is developed and manufactured in Germany and is built for real outdoor use in temperatures from -20 °C to +50 °C. Common features across the series include Wi-Fi, USB-C and 32 GB of internal memory for recording and data transfer, along with memory slots for settings for three different optics. LIEMKE also equips the LUCHS line with five color modes plus Sun and Rain image modes with contrast balancing, giving the user more control over image presentation when background temperature, humidity or ambient light make thermal interpretation more difficult.

About the Liemke Luchs-1 Thermal Front Attachment

The Liemke Luchs-1 Thermal Front Attachment is the all-round model in the LUCHS line for field and forest hunting on mixed terrain. Its 1.00 x optical magnification is exactly what a clip-on needs: it adds thermal capability ahead of the day optic without changing the basic sight picture more than necessary. That makes it well suited to hunters who want thermal detection and observation while keeping the familiar ergonomics and aiming process of their rifle scope. With a 35.00 mm objective lens and F 1.0 aperture, the unit is designed to gather thermal information efficiently, while the 220.00 m/1000m field of view gives useful situational awareness for scanning edges, rides and open patches between woodland cover.

Its thermal core uses a 640x512 VOx Ceramic sensor with 12.00 μm pixel pitch and a 50.00 Hz refresh rate, which helps the image stay fluid when tracking moving animals. The stated 50.00 mK NETD supports better separation of subtle temperature differences, which is valuable when game and background start to blend in damp or unstable weather. The 1024×768 OLED display gives a crisp viewing image, and the device adds practical digital functions such as image capture, video recording and video output. WiFi connectivity supports transfer and sharing, while the 9.00 h battery life and external USB power supply are useful for longer outings or fixed-position observation. The aluminium housing, waterproof and fogproof construction, and compact 161.00 mm length keep the Luchs-1 suitable for hard field use without making the rifle unnecessarily bulky.

About Liemke

LIEMKE has been active in thermal imaging since 2008 and focuses on thermal optics for hunting and outdoor use. The company became part of the Blaser Group in 2020, strengthening its position in the hunting optics segment. LIEMKE has developed its own optics since 2014, and its product range includes the MERLIN thermal imaging line, the KEILER handheld series and the LUCHS line of pre-mounted thermal imaging devices. A consistent part of the brand’s approach is practical field usability, including image transfer to mobile devices through Wi-Fi or cable. For thermal clip-on systems such as the Luchs-1, LIEMKE is known for combining hunting-oriented handling with compact construction and German-made product development.
