640px Thermal Imaging & Long-Range Detection
The 640 × 512 thermal sensor combines with a fast 50mm F0.9 lens to detect small temperature differences at extended distances.
With sub-15mK sensitivity, the FQ50L produces detailed thermal imagery in demanding conditions, including rain, mist and cold backgrounds.
The maximum detection range of 2,600m refers to detecting a heat source under suitable conditions. Actual identification distance depends on target size, conditions and viewing circumstances.
Integrated 1,000m Laser Rangefinder
The FQ50L incorporates a Class 1 laser rangefinder directly into the monocular, allowing distance measurements from 10m to 1,000m.
With a stated accuracy of ±1m, it provides useful ranging information for wildlife observation, stalking and assessing distances across open terrain.
The standard FQ50 and FQ35 models do not have an integrated laser rangefinder.
HSIS Shutterless Imaging & Image Enhancement
HIKMICRO's HSIS technology maintains continuous thermal viewing without the regular image interruptions associated with conventional shutter calibration.
Image Pro processing enhances image detail and contrast, while Zoom Pro helps maintain useful image clarity when digital magnification is increased.
The large OLED display provides detailed viewing through the eyepiece.
Rear Focus Wheel & Ergonomic Design
The innovative rear-focus wheel is positioned for convenient fingertip adjustment, allowing focus to be changed while holding the monocular in one hand.
The magnesium alloy housing combines durability with manageable weight, while the cylindrical body provides a comfortable grip for extended observation.
Battery & Charging
The Falcon 2.0 FQ50L uses a removable rechargeable 21700 lithium battery, providing up to 6.5 hours of operation under HIKMICRO's stated test conditions.
Two rechargeable 21700 batteries and a compatible battery charger are supplied, allowing one battery to be kept ready as a spare.
USB-C connectivity also supports charging and external power. Actual runtime depends on temperature, laser rangefinder use and enabled features.
