Hikmicro Lynx LE10 3.0 10mm Thermal Monocular

A highly portable, entry-level handheld thermal monocular designed for close-range observation, delivering clear image stability without standard shutter pauses.

The Hikmicro Lynx LE10 3.0 takes compact thermal spotting to a new level by combining a high-sensitivity 256 x 192 thermal detector with a 10mm F1.0 lens. It features an incredible thermal sensitivity of less than 20 mK, making it exceptionally efficient at picking up minute heat variances in harsh conditions like rain or fog. Unlike older devices that freeze temporarily for calibration, this model utilises Hikmicro's shutterless imaging system to give a continuous, uninterrupted view of moving targets. With a detection range of up to 500 metres and a wide 18-degree field of view, it is perfectly suited for navigating dense environments or searching for animals at close range.

Key Technical Features

• Ultra-Sensitive Sensor: Features a thermal sensitivity of < 20 mK to detect faint heat signatures even in poor weather conditions.

• Shutterless Imaging System (HSIS): Eliminates the annoying screen freeze associated with traditional auto-calibration, ensuring smooth, continuous observation.

• AI Image Algorithms: Uses Image Pro 3.0 and Zoom Pro to digitally smooth out image grain and produce a crisp, detailed view on the screen.

• Rapid 2-Second Startup: Powers up from fully off to ready-to-view in just 2 seconds, making sure you do not miss a fleeting moment.
