The Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 in test – the new series from Hikmicro
In our test today we show you the Hikmicro Lynx LH25 from the 2.0 seriesThis replaces the first series and thus also the permanently installed battery system with a Removable battery system What the device can do, what is included in the delivery and how the device performs in the field, you can find out in our test - read it now!
The Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 Review
The scope of delivery of the Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0
As always, we start our test with this What's in the Box.
The Accessories des Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 is as follows:
- A protective bag
- A Quick Start Guide in German (you will receive a detailed operating manual in German by email or via your customer account)
- A hand strap for the device
- A cleaning cloth
- USB-C charging cable / data cable
- Charging cradle for the batteries
- Two 18650 batteries
A small note here: The Lynx 2.0 will, like the first generation, be 15, 19 and 25 variants These differ primarily in the size of the lens. Because of this, you also get the same operating instructions with the same illustrations – so don’t be surprised if steps are explained here that your device may not even have.
The box in which the devices are delivered is also identical – here only a small lettering on the outer packaging as well as the device itself, which model it is.
The features of the Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 in review
At first glance, the Lynx LH25 2.0 is convincing – what is striking is that only the Buttons and the rear eyepiece are rubberized, which gives the device a high-quality impression. The buttons on the top of the device are similar to those on the Condor series clearly and intuitively arranged, so you can find your way around immediately. The magnification is found on the rearmost button.
In the middle of the row follows the menu button, which you can find on short and long taps you can navigate through the menu – but more on that later.
The front button is the photo button, which you can use to take photos and videos and save them on the 16 GB internal memory. Of course, you also have the option of Recordings about the Hikmicro Sight App – here the files are uploaded directly to the cloud. The last button in the row is the on/off button. This is equipped with a small diode, which lights up slightly red when in use. This lets you know exactly whether the device is activated. Because of the tilt sensor, this is no longer easy to see from a brightly lit display. Great!
At the front of the device is a simple cover for the lens Admittedly, the cover is quite simple, but it offers the clear The advantage is that you can easily replace them yourself if necessary and don't necessarily have to be sent in. The focus at the front of the device could be a little bigger - especially if you are wearing gloves in low temperatures, this can be a little tricky.
On the bottom side you have the USB-C input as well as an additional thread for the tripod mount or a carrying strap – here we can show you our Thermal Neckband from our online shop!
Further important features, which we have for you in Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 test include the following:
- Optimized menu navigation: As already mentioned, the Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 with only three buttons for operation – the middle button is primarily for the hierarchical menu, which prioritizes frequently used functions according to user habits. With a short press you can switch through the color palette, while a long press takes you to the upper menu instead of the main menu as with the first generation. In this you can most important settings For further settings you have to navigate to the last tile in the main menu, here the complete menu with numerous functions is built up - for example the new Tilt sensor.
- Tilt sensor: The tilt or tilt sensor of the Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 serves as Standby control and contributes to the Maximize the energy efficiency of the deviceWe have already seen this principle with the Condor thermal imaging device: When the device is hanging on the neck strap or lying on its side, the tilt sensor detects that it is not being actively used. As a result, the device automatically switches to standby mode in order to Save energy and extend battery life. When tilted sideways by 75° or up or down by 70°, the Lynx is automatically ready for use again. We think that this is a really great alternative to the classic eye sensor, where the device often has to be held very close to the face, which can be quite uncomfortable.
- Battery changing system: The Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 is now in the second generation finally with a Manufacturer-independent battery changing system Here you can standard 18650 batteries can be used, whereby you only have to pay attention to the correct voltage. This allows you to obtain the batteries conveniently and cost-effectively. Inserting the battery is also optimally solved: In addition to the simple mechanism via a small flap with a slider, there is also a pictogram in the recess for the battery, which shows you in which direction the battery must be inserted. So nothing can go wrong here - great! You get two of the batteries and a suitable charging cradle directly in the delivery. The regular loading We can really recommend this before your hunting trips - the manufacturer states a running time of 6 ½ hours, but this is really only achievable under ideal conditions. We expect it to last more like three to four hours.
Technical details of the Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 Reviews
With a 384 sensor, a field of view of almost 18 m and a 2,4x magnification, the Lynx LH25 2.0 predestined for use in mixed areas: The pieces remain small despite a larger sensor, even if the basic optical magnification is rather small.
The device is Wi-Fi enabled and can be paired with the app. This allows you to Stream image, which is particularly useful if you are just out there as a nature observer and are watching birds in trees that are further away. In such cases, the Redhot or Blackhot mode can be used to Scan area and quickly recognize the small bird bodies in the treetops.
Within the Observation of animals such as fallow deer and roe deer In some situations the device reaches its boundaries. maximum range of the device is approximately 1200 meters for objects, who is 1,80 meters tall The smaller an animal is, the smaller the detection range. Roe deer and fallow deer can be detected well up to about 250 meters, but beyond that it becomes more difficult. For a better detection at longer distances is possibly a higher quality device with a larger sensor or a higher optical magnification is required – but you have to accept a smaller field of view.

Our conclusion on Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 Review
The Hikmicro Lynx LH25 2.0 is clearly the best choice for hunting in mixed areas. The powerful combination of the 384 sensor and 25 mm lens offers a freely focusable 18,4 m wide field of view. We think that it is really a good successor to the first generation. Therefore: clear purchase recommendation from our side!
