Hikmicro Thunder TQ50CR 2.0

• 1x clip-on format: The thermal unit mounts in front of a daytime riflescope, so the rifle keeps its familiar handling and sight picture while gaining thermal capability for night hunting and observation.
• 640×512, 12 μm sensor: The high-resolution uncooled sensor captures finer detail and cleaner target outlines, helping with recognition at distance and more confident shot placement.
• 20 mK NETD sensitivity: Very small temperature differences are rendered more clearly, which improves scene separation in rain, humidity, or low-contrast backgrounds where weaker thermal devices lose detail.
• 50 mm F1.0 objective: The large, fast lens gathers more thermal energy, supporting the stated 2600 m detection range and giving the device stronger long-range capability in open terrain.
• Magnesium housing with Wi-Fi and recording: The light but durable body stands up to field use, while onboard image capture, video recording, and wireless connectivity make it easier to document sightings and review sessions later.

About the Hikmicro Thunder Series

Hikmicro Thunder is a family of thermal clip-on systems built to sit in front of a daytime riflescope, giving conventional optics thermal capability without changing the rifle’s basic setup. Within Hikmicro’s outdoor range, the series serves hunters and professional users who want thermal imaging but prefer to keep the eye position, stock weld, and reticle of their existing day scope. That clip-on concept is the defining idea behind the line: it adds thermal detection while preserving a familiar shooting platform.

In the current lineup, THUNDER 2.0 and THUNDER 3.0 represent the main clip-on generations. The 2.0 models use uncooled focal plane array sensors, combining practical field durability with the compact form expected from front-mounted thermal devices. Across the series, the emphasis is on straightforward integration with daytime optics, stable image presentation, and a housing format suited to hunting rifles and other compatible platforms. Rather than functioning as a standalone day optic, the Thunder series is designed around the practical advantages of clip-on use: faster transition to thermal observation, less disruption to an established rifle setup, and a more natural path for users who already trust their daytime scope.

About the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50CR 2.0

The Hikmicro Thunder TQ50CR 2.0 is a 1x thermal clip-on intended for shooters who want strong long-range thermal detection while continuing to use their preferred daytime riflescope. Because the unit works at true clip-on magnification, it does not replace the day optic’s aiming system; instead, it adds a thermal image in front of it. In practice, that means less retraining, a more familiar sight picture, and easier integration into an existing hunting or professional rifle setup.

Its core strength is the combination of a 640×512 thermal sensor, 12.00 μm pixel pitch, and very low 20.00 mK NETD. This specification set matters in the field because it helps the device show smaller heat differences and preserve target definition when weather, vegetation, or background clutter make thermal scenes harder to read. The 50.00 mm F1.0 objective supports the unit’s 2600.00 m detection range, making the TQ50CR 2.0 especially well suited to open ground, longer observation distances, and users who need earlier target detection before moving into identification range.

The viewing system is built around a 1024×768 OLED display with a 50.00 Hz refresh rate, giving a smooth image that is easier to follow during scanning and target movement. Recording functions, video output, and Wi-Fi add practical value for documenting hunts, sharing footage, or reviewing what the device saw after the session. A magnesium housing, 553.00 g weight, and operation from -30°C to +55°C underline its field-focused design, balancing durability with a size that remains manageable on a rifle.

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 segment, its range covers thermal monoculars, thermal scopes, thermal clip-ons, digital day-and-night scopes, and multispectrum binoculars, showing a clear focus on observation and aiming systems for low-light and no-light use.

Within that portfolio, product families such as LYNX, FALCON, CONDOR, STELLAR, THUNDER, ALPEX, and HABROK divide the lineup by application, from handheld thermal observation to clip-on and riflescope use. HIKMICRO’s outdoor development also includes the release of 12 μm thermal detectors in 256×192, 384×288, and 640×512 resolutions in 2020, a step that helped shape the compact, high-resolution thermal devices the brand is known for today.
