Hikmicro Thunder TQ35CL 3.0 with Adapter

• Clip-on thermal format: The 1.00 x optical setup is built to sit in front of a daytime riflescope, so the rifle keeps its familiar handling and sight picture while gaining thermal capability for hunting optics use in darkness, fog, or cover.
• 640x512 VOx sensor: A 12.00 μm sensor with 15.00 mK NETD resolves small temperature differences more clearly, helping separate animals from background clutter and making identification easier in difficult weather.
• Built-in laser rangefinder: Integrated ranging adds distance information without mounting another device, which speeds up target assessment and supports more confident shot placement in the field.
• Large OLED display: The 1920x1080 OLED screen presents the thermal image with strong contrast and a clean viewing experience, which helps when scanning detail through a daytime optic for longer periods.
• Magnesium housing: A 460.00 g body with waterproof, fogproof and shockproof construction keeps weight manageable while standing up to recoil, cold mornings, and wet hunting conditions.

About the Hikmicro Thunder Series

Hikmicro Thunder is a thermal clip-on family designed to mount in front of a daytime riflescope, giving shooters a way to add thermal imaging without changing the basic rifle-and-optic setup they already know. Within the company’s outdoor lineup, THUNDER 3.0 sits as the newer clip-on generation and is described as compatible with daytime scopes at magnifications up to 15×, which makes it relevant for both short-range woodland work and more open-ground use. The series focuses on the practical strengths that matter in a clip-on: a true clip-on form factor, thermal imaging for use in darkness or obscured conditions, and a design that preserves the handling and eye position of the host scope.

Across the range, THUNDER 3.0 clip-ons are offered in several model variants, including TH35C 3.0, TQ35C 3.0, TQ50C 3.0, and TQ50CL 3.0. The family is aimed at users who want thermal capability for hunting or observation while continuing to work through a conventional daytime optic. That approach distinguishes the series from dedicated thermal riflescopes: instead of replacing the day optic, the THUNDER concept adds thermal imaging in front of it, which is especially useful for shooters who want to keep their familiar reticle, mounting position, and daytime zeroing routine.

About the Hikmicro Thunder TQ35CL 3.0 with Adapter

The Hikmicro Thunder TQ35CL 3.0 with Adapter is a thermal clip-on built for shooters who want to convert a daytime riflescope into a thermal sighting system while keeping the rifle’s established ergonomics. Its 1.00 x optical magnification is exactly what a clip-on format needs, because it is meant to work with the magnification of the host scope rather than replace it. With a 35.00 mm objective and F 1.0 aperture, the unit is set up to gather thermal information efficiently, while the stated 1800.00 m detection range gives it the reach needed for spotting heat sources well beyond normal engagement distances.

The core of this model is its 640x512 VOx uncooled thermal sensor with a 12.00 μm pixel pitch and 15.00 mK NETD. In practical terms, that combination is important because it improves the visibility of fine heat differences, making animals, edges, and background separation easier to read when humidity, vegetation, or uneven terrain reduce contrast. A 50.00 Hz refresh rate helps the image stay fluid during scanning and tracking, which matters when observing moving game or panning across a wider area.

The viewing side is equally well suited to field use. A 1920x1080 OLED display gives the image a crisp, high-contrast presentation through the daytime scope, and the built-in laser rangefinder adds distance data without extra accessories on the rifle. Video recording, image capture, video output, and WiFi support make the unit easier to document and manage, while the magnesium housing, 6.00 h battery life, and waterproof, fogproof, shockproof construction support regular use in demanding hunting conditions.

About Hikmicro

HIKMICRO was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Hangzhou, China. The company focuses on thermal imaging, with additional expertise in 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, which places the brand squarely in the field of modern hunting and observation devices.

The company’s product structure shows a clear specialization by use case. THUNDER and STELLAR are its thermal scope product lines, while ALPEX covers digital day-and-night vision scopes and LYNX, FALCON, and CONDOR are thermal monocular families. HIKMICRO’s 2023 outdoor brochure records the release of 12 μm thermal detectors in 2020 across 256×192, 384×288, and 640×512 resolutions, which is directly relevant to products such as the THUNDER series and helps explain the brand’s strong emphasis on compact thermal imaging systems.
