FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION(S)

What are the key features of the HIKMICRO Thunder 3.0 Thermal Clip-Ons?

The HIKMICRO Thunder 3.0 Thermal Clip-Ons are equipped with high-resolution thermal sensors, ranging from 384x288px to 640x512px, depending on the model. They feature advanced shutterless technology, Image Pro 2.0 processing, and a high-resolution 1920 × 1080 OLED display. The TQ50CL model also includes a built-in Laser Range Finder (LRF).

How does the shutterless technology in the Thunder 3.0 improve performance?

The Thunder 3.0 series utilises shutterless technology to eliminate the need for a physical shutter, which prevents image freezes and ensures continuous, clear viewing. This allows users to maintain a steady visual feed without interruptions, crucial for accurate targeting.

What is the detection range of the different Thunder 3.0 models?

The TH35C has a detection range of up to 1800 metres, the TQ50C offers a range of up to 2600 metres, and the TQ50CL, which also includes an LRF, provides a detection range of up to 2600 metres with precise distance measurement capabilities.

What kind of battery life can be expected from the Thunder 3.0 Thermal Clip-Ons?

All Thunder 3.0 models are powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The TH35C and TQ50C models offer up to 6 hours of continuous operation, while the TQ50CL provides up to 5 hours due to the additional power requirements of the LRF.

How does the Image Pro 2.0 processing improve the thermal imagery?

Image Pro 2.0 is an advanced image processing algorithm that enhances image detail and overall visibility. This technology sharpens thermal images and improves target identification, even in challenging conditions like rain and fog.

What are the differences between the Thunder 3.0 models?

The main differences lie in their thermal sensor resolutions, detection ranges, and features. The TH35C has a 384x288px sensor with a 35mm focal length, the TQ50C has a 640x512px sensor with a 50mm focal length, and the TQ50CL, which also includes a built-in LRF, features a 640x512px sensor and a 50mm focal length.

How durable are the Thunder 3.0 Thermal Clip-Ons?

The Thunder 3.0 series is designed with high shock resistance, capable of withstanding up to 1000 g/0.4 ms. This ensures that the clip-ons can endure tough conditions and rough handling during field use.

Can the Thunder 3.0 models be easily attached and detached from a riflescope?

Yes, the Thunder 3.0 models feature the Rusan Quick-Release clamp system, which allows for quick and repeatable attachment and detachment from your optical scope with the twist of a locking ring.
