HIKMICRO Condor CQ50L 2.0 Thermal Monocular with LRF 50mm 640px

The CQ50L 2.0 combines a 50mm F0.9 germanium objective lens with a 640 × 512 thermal sensor, providing an excellent balance of image detail, thermal sensitivity and long-distance observation capability.

Its large-aperture F0.9 lens gathers thermal radiation efficiently, while the sensor's less-than-15mK NETD sensitivity helps reveal subtle temperature differences in demanding conditions.

The 2.7× base magnification is particularly useful when observing subjects at longer distances. With an 8.7° × 7.0° field of view, the CQ50L covers approximately 15.2m horizontally at 100m.

HIKMICRO specifies a maximum thermal detection range of 2,600m. This represents the ability to detect a suitable heat signature rather than positively identify a subject at that distance. Actual performance depends on environmental conditions and the subject being observed.

The built-in laser rangefinder provides accurate distance measurement without requiring a separate handheld device.

It measures distances from 10m to 1,000m, with a manufacturer-stated accuracy of ±1m. The integrated 905nm Class 1 laser allows distance information to be obtained directly through the monocular.

This is especially useful when observing across large fields, open countryside or unfamiliar terrain where judging distances visually can be difficult.

The CQ50L 2.0 features a high-resolution 0.49-inch OLED display with 1920 × 1080 pixels, presenting thermal images with strong contrast and fine detail.

HIKMICRO's Shutterless Image System (HSIS) reduces interruptions associated with conventional shutter calibration, allowing smoother continuous observation.

Image Pro processing and Zoom Pro help optimise thermal image quality, including when using digital magnification. Picture-in-Picture provides a magnified view while retaining awareness of the wider scene.

Six thermal palettes are available: White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, Red Monochrome and Green Monochrome. Brightness, contrast and image tone can also be adjusted to suit viewing conditions.

With 64GB of built-in storage, the Condor CQ50L 2.0 supports photo capture, video recording and audio recording without requiring a separate memory card.

Built-in Wi-Fi enables connection to the HIKMICRO Sight mobile app for compatible live-view, media and device-management functions.

Additional features include Hot Track, Picture-in-Picture, local album playback and standby mode.

The Condor CQ50L 2.0 uses a removable rechargeable 21700 lithium-ion battery. Two compatible rechargeable 21700 batteries and a battery charger are included as standard, allowing a spare battery to be carried for extended observation sessions.

HIKMICRO specifies more than 6.5 hours of continuous operation under its stated test conditions. Actual runtime depends on temperature, battery condition and the functions being used.

The monocular supports USB Type-C direct charging and external power through a compatible 5V DC / 2A supply. A USB Type-C cable is supplied.

What is the detection range of the CQ50L 2.0?

The manufacturer specifies a thermal detection range of up to 2,600 metres under suitable conditions. Detection distance should not be confused with positive identification distance.

Does the CQ50L 2.0 have a built-in laser rangefinder?

Yes. It includes an integrated laser rangefinder capable of measuring distances from 10m to 1,000m with ±1m stated accuracy.

What is the difference between the CQ35L 2.0 and CQ50L 2.0?

The CQ35L 2.0 has a 35mm F1.0 lens, wider field of view, 1.9× base magnification and 1,800m detection range. The CQ50L 2.0 uses a 50mm F0.9 lens, narrower field of view, 2.7× base magnification and longer 2,600m detection range. Both use 640 × 512 thermal sensors and include a 1,000m LRF.

Are batteries and a charger included?

Yes. Two rechargeable 21700 batteries and a compatible battery charger are included.

How long does the battery last?

HIKMICRO specifies more than 6.5 hours under its stated test conditions. Runtime varies with temperature and device usage.

Can the CQ50L 2.0 record video?

Yes. It supports photographs, video and audio recording using its built-in 64GB memory.

Can it be used in complete darkness?

Yes. Thermal imaging detects infrared radiation emitted by objects and does not require visible light or an external infrared illuminator.

Is the Condor CQ50L 2.0 waterproof?

It has an IP67 protection rating, providing dust protection and resistance to temporary water immersion under the conditions specified by that rating.

Is the CQ50L 2.0 suitable for woodland observation?

Yes, although its narrower field of view and higher base magnification make it particularly effective for longer-range observation. The CQ35L 2.0 may be preferable where a wider viewing area is more important.
