Hikmicro Condor CQ35L

The Hikmicro Condor CQ35L thermal imaging viewfinder camera is easy to use and offers outstanding image detail to help users in a wide range of applications. Small and easy to use with one hand, the thermal imaging camera can be taken almost anywhere, from hunting to search and rescue to asset protection. It has a built-in laser rangefinder that can be used up to 1000 m with an accuracy of 1 m.

The heart of the hikmicro Condor CQ35L thermal imaging camera is the professional 640 x 512 resolution 12μm sensor, which is extremely sensitive (NETD < 20 mK), giving a detailed image even in poor weather conditions. It can detect a human figure from up to 1800 m, but larger heat sources can be detected from further away. The closest object that can be seen with the device is 5 meters. Excellent sensitivity is backed up by a F:1.0 lens with 2x optical magnification, which can be digitally increased up to 16x in multiple steps.

Of course, the thermal imaging camera is not only capable of detection, but also of capturing the image you see. Video or photo files are stored in its built-in 64GB memory. Its 1024 x 768pixel OLED display, which works well in cold conditions, offers a detailed image in four colour modes, including white highlight, black highlight, red highlight and fusion. The 50 Hz image gives the user a beautiful natural and continuous view. The manual focus ring can be adjusted without slipping even in wet weather. Of course, dioptre adjustment is standard on these devices, so everyone can adjust it to their own eyes. The thermal imaging software has also been significantly improved: its Image Pro algorithm allows even finer details to be recognised, while Zoom Pro improves image quality when using digital zoom.

We don't have to be without our device in extreme weather either, thanks to its IP67 protection, which means that dust and water can't get inside, and even if it is submerged in water for a short time, it's likely to survive, and even a 2m drop on soft ground won't cause any damage, although it's a shame not to take care of such a great device.

Downloading the factory apps for our phone will also allow you to use the device via WiFi,IOS and Android apps are also available. The handling of the device is logical, with a total of four buttons to access the device's functions, which are also made easy to use by the English language menu. A huge advantage of the Hikmicro Condor CQ35L thermal imaging viewfinder is that it runs on a commercially readily available 18650 removable battery, which you can take more of if you don't have access to a suitable power source for charging for an extended period of time. Without WiFi, the device can run for up to 4 hours on a single battery.
