Operation and important features of the Hikmicro Falcon FH25

The FH25 is that latest model in the Falcon series and completes the series together with the Hikmicro Falcon FH35 and the Hikmicro Falcon FQ50. Just like the other two devices, the Falcon FH25 has an ergonomic Tube shape, which the of Hikmicro replaces the previously known teardrop look. Unlike many other devices, with the FH25 you get a thermal imaging camera that is not made of plastic, but rather a durable and high-quality one Magnesium Alloy is manufactured. Together with the rubber coating, the camera makes a very high-quality and attractive impression.

The Hikmicro Falcon FH25 offers you the following additional features and special features:

 

  • Lens: The FH25 has a 25mm lens that can be used when not in use lens cap is protected. The lid is in our opinion Hikmicro Unfortunately it didn't work out quite as well. Unlike other models, it can be rotated in any direction so that it doesn't get in the way when you're looking through it.
     
    The real problem is opening and above all Closing the lid: The lens cap is secured by a snap lock operated, which can only be closed silently with difficulty. In the area you could scare away the game - here you would have Hikmicro should act more wisely. Another problem is the snap closure itself. There is a risk that the spring could wear out over time and the closure could become unusable. Here would have Hikmicro Overall, we should find a different solution for lens protection.
  • Image processing: When it comes to image processing Hikmicro no expense or effort spared. The manufacturer has developed an image processing algorithm specifically for its Falcon series ImagePro – developed, the one high-resolution and intelligent image optimization enabled. This gives you image reproduction that is tailored to your respective observation purposes and enables optimal response. For a handheld device in this price range, this is a spectacular feature that you won't find in cameras from other manufacturers.
  • Diopter compensation and focusing: The diopter adjustment is located at the back of the eyepiece and is just as easy to use as the focusing ring, which is located at the front of the lens.
  • Battery compartment: Similar to the lens cap, the battery compartment also has one for the included batteries innovative closure – which unfortunately could also be your downfall in practice. If the cover for the battery compartment is closed, a red area will be visible on the locking lever. As hermetically sealed as the battery compartment is by this lock, there is a risk that the mechanism will wear out after prolonged use, just like with the lens cap. We think here would have Hikmicro should also rely on conventional solutions.
  • LED: A helpful feature, on the other hand, is a small one red light emitting diode am Hikmicro Falcon FH25, which turns on when you keep the thermal imaging camera running. This way you always know whether your device is switched on. A useful feature.
  • Outer keyboard: The camera's keyboard is also a highlight of ours Hikmicro Falcon FH25 unboxings. Thanks to the rubber coating, the easy-to-touch pictograms and the sufficient distance, you can literally operate the handheld device blindly.
  • Recording function: With the Hikmicro Of course, you can also use the Falcon FH25 to take photos and videos from the area. There is enough storage space with the 64 GB definitely present.
  • Battery power: The battery life is also considerable. If you use the included 1865 batteries, they are up to 8h Use it for you!
