The HIKMICRO Thunder 3.0 TQ50CL Thermal Imaging Clip-On Attachment combines a high-resolution 640 × 512 thermal sensor, 50mm F1.0 objective lens and integrated 1,000m laser rangefinder. Designed to attach in front of a compatible optical riflescope, it adds thermal imaging capability while retaining the familiar viewing arrangement of the existing day scope.

With sub-15mK thermal sensitivity and a detection range of up to 2,600 metres, the TQ50CL delivers detailed long-range thermal observation. Its innovative in-lens laser rangefinder provides distance measurement without the bulk of a separate external ranging module.

HIKMICRO's Shutterless Image System (HSIS) supports uninterrupted viewing, while advanced image processing and a high-resolution OLED display help reveal fine thermal detail in darkness and challenging weather.

Thermal Imaging & Detection

The 640 × 512 thermal sensor and 50mm F1.0 lens provide detailed imaging across open terrain, with a stated detection range of up to 2,600m.

Sub-15mK sensitivity helps distinguish subtle temperature differences, while HSIS technology maintains smooth, continuous viewing without routine shutter interruptions.

Detection range describes the ability to detect a heat source under suitable conditions, rather than guaranteed identification at that distance.

Integrated Laser Rangefinder

The TQ50CL incorporates a Class 1 laser rangefinder within the objective lens assembly, providing distance measurements from 10m to 1,000m.

Its stated measurement accuracy is ±1m, making it useful for assessing distances during observation across varied terrain.

This is the key difference between the TQ50CL and the standard TQ50C, which does not include an LRF.

Front Clip-On Mounting & Compatibility

The Thunder 3.0 TQ50CL is designed to mount in front of a compatible optical riflescope using a suitable clip-on adaptor or quick-release mounting system.

The correct adaptor must be selected according to the external objective diameter and design of the existing day scope.

A rifle-specific mounting clamp or adaptor is not included in the standard package and must be purchased separately.

Compatible mounting systems may include suitable Rusan adaptors. Check exact dimensions and fitment before purchasing.

Clip-On & Monocular Modes

The Thunder 3.0 can operate as a front-mounted thermal attachment or be configured for handheld observation with appropriate compatible accessories.

Its 1920 × 1080 OLED display and selectable thermal palettes provide clear thermal viewing across different conditions.

Additional eyepiece accessories may be required for comfortable handheld monocular use.

Battery & Charging

The TQ50CL uses a replaceable rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. HIKMICRO specifies at least 5 hours of operation at 25°C with the LRF enabled and hotspot disabled.

Two rechargeable battery packs and a compatible charger are supplied, allowing a spare battery to be carried for extended use.

USB-C supports direct charging and external power.

  • Photo and video recording
  • Audio recording
  • Recoil-activated recording
