The Falcon FQ50 2.0 is the flagship model of the Falcon series, engineered for maximum detection range and the highest level of thermal detail. It is the ultimate choice for long-range observation in vast open areas like large paddocks or coastal regions.
This 2.0 version is built around a high-resolution 640 × 512 thermal sensor with an industry-leading sensitivity of NETD < 15 mK. Combined with a large 50mm F0.9 lens, it can detect heat signatures at an incredible distance of up to 2600 metres. The 2.0 model also introduces a Full-HD 1920 × 1080 OLED display and the shutterless imaging system (HSIS), ensuring a seamless, high-definition viewing experience without the image freezing during calibration.
Key Technical Features
-
Extreme Detection Range: Capable of spotting heat sources up to 2600 metres away, making it one of the longest-ranging handhelds on the market.
-
Sub-15 mK Sensitivity: The highly sensitive sensor provides exceptional contrast, allowing you to see fine details like animal gender or behavioural traits even in rain or thick fog.
-
Shutterless Image System (HSIS): Uses advanced software to calibrate the image continuously, removing the "clicking" sound and screen freeze of traditional thermal units.
-
Full-HD OLED Display: Features a 1920 × 1080 screen that is 25% larger than previous models, offering a more immersive and detailed view of the terrain.
-
Upgraded 21700 Battery: Includes a high-capacity, replaceable battery that provides over 6.5 hours of runtime, with spares easily swapped in the field.
