A top-class thermal imaging binocular – this Hikmicro Raptor in the test
With his new Raptor Hikmicro Don't worry: it's all here - Thermal imaging sensor, digital night vision technology, IR emitter, laser rangefinder, and the list goes on. At first glance, the binocular gives us great hope. You can find out what the inner values look like and whether the expectations can be met in our exclusive Hikmicro Raptor RQ50LN review. We will show you the complete scope of delivery and give you information about the most important operating points. Take a look now!
The Hikmicro Raptor RQ50LN review
The scope of delivery of the Hikmicro Raptor
Already included in the scope of delivery Hikmicro in an XXL format: The camera and accessories are delivered in one large hard-shell suitcase, in which all equipment can be safely stored and transported. That Hikmicro has probably tried to follow the model of a very specific competitor - namely Pulsar and his famous Pulsar Merger XP50 LRF – is hard to ignore. However: Yes Surprised at the scope of delivery Hikmicro positive. Unlike the merger, the manufacturer has Hikmicro No accessory has been left out with his Raptor - in fact, the scope of delivery leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to the spacious suitcase, it includes:
- A charging cradle for charging 6 (!) batteries at the same time
- 6x 18650 batteries
- A power plug with appropriate adapters for country-specific connections
- A USB-C cable for data transfer and for the charging cradle
- A carrying strap
- A shoulder strap
- A cloth bag
- A cleaning cloth
The included charging station is particularly eye-catching: There is actually space for six batteries in the charging cradle. Firstly, this saves an incredible amount of time when charging and secondly, it ensures that you carry enough spare batteries with you on your hunting trips should the battery ever run low. An additional plus point is certainly that you You don't have to rely on manufacturer-specific batteries: You can use suitable, commercially available batteries from any manufacturer and thus have maximum flexibility.
The scope of MAP was expanded in two key areas: extensive adapter set makes your life easier. No matter which country your hunting trip has taken you to, you are Equipped for every type of socket and always have fully charged thermal imaging binoculars available.
Operation and important features of the Hikmicro Raptor RQ50LN
The Hikmicro Raptor RQ50LN is one thing above all: big! With over a kilo weight it surpasses that Pulsar Merger almost doubled. Unlike the merger, you have almost no choice but the camera to hold with both hands. In order to make the carrying load a little more comfortable and balance it out, we strongly recommend that you always have the carrying strap attached to the device. This means you can wear the device relaxed around your neck and always have it ready to speak.
Another positive feature, compared to the merger of Pulsar, is the Haptics of the binocular. The outer ones Buttons are all designed differently and lifted off the ground. While the external keyboard of the Merger has a predominantly uniform design and was easy to get lost in the dark, this is the case with the Hikmicro Raptor RQ50LN almost impossible.
The high weight of the Raptor already indicates a correspondingly weighty interior. We would like to show you how this works in detail below:
- Fusion technology from thermal imaging and night vision mode: Let's start in ours Hikmicro Raptor RQ50LN test starts with probably the most important feature. The Raptor is much more than just a thermal imaging camera. In fact, you have one Thermal imaging and a digital night vision device in one. Not only can you switch between both types of imaging - with the image fusion mode you can use the advantages of both techniques at the same time. The Fusion mode It doesn't convince us directly, but the ability to switch between digital night vision and thermal imaging mode is excellent. In practice, each mode impresses with its own advantages and impresses with lifelike colors during the day and a perfect thermal image in unfavorable weather conditions.
- Laser range finder: Another feature that not every thermal imaging camera has is the integrated laser rangefinder. On a Distance of up to one kilometer you determine the distance to the piece with a spectacular accuracy of +/- one meter.
- 940 nm IR emitter with smart brightening: A feature that we and every hunter should be grateful for is this smart IR brighteners. Not only does this make the infrared beam almost invisible. The smart IR emitter also provides one improved power consumption. It automatically adapts to the lighting conditions and thus effectively protects the battery. Overexposure or crossfading is also guaranteed to be avoided.
The Hikmicro Raptor RQ50 is available in two versions: one with a 940 nm IR emitter (the present LN version), which is absolutely safe for game, and one with 850 nm IR emitter as Hikmicro Raptor RQ50L. - Day and night picture modes: The binocular can be adjusted thanks to different image modes Use at any time of day and weather condition. In fact, we were able to in ours Hikmicro Raptor RQ50LN test found that not only the switch between thermal imaging and night vision works perfectly. The feature also maximizes the ability to see from a distance – or close up – for fantastic images. Also one lifelike color reproduction is inside that really does what it promises! An advantage that should not be underestimated is that each mode is clearly labeled and marked in the menu. So you don't have to bother with cryptic pictograms, but you always know which camera setting you are currently using.
- Digital zoom: What also surprised us positively is the digital zoom of the thermal imaging camera. Even at 6x magnification the image is neither blurry nor pixelated. Here it is worth making extensive use of this option.
- Standby mode: Hikmicro relies entirely on one with the Raptor RQ50LN economical electricity consumption. Therefore, the camera is switched on – similar to this Pulsar Merger - automatically goes into standby mode when taken away from your eyes. If you bring it back to your eyes, it is immediately ready for use.
- Battery compartment: We also think the inclusion of the battery compartment in the device is a very nice solution. To operate, the camera requires three batteries, which are inserted into a removable battery compartment. The filled compartment is then screwed back into the Raptor and is protected from falling out.
- Recording function: With the Hikmicro Of course you also take Raptor Photos and videos out of the area. There is enough storage space with the 64 GB definitely present.
Technical details of our Hikmicro Raptor RQ50LN testing
Sophisticated operating features are all well and good, but they are of little help if the imaging performance is not convincing. At the Hikmicro But we can clearly give Raptor the all-clear. On the contrary: we have rarely used a camera that functions as both a thermal imaging and a night vision device such stunning image reproduction enables, like that Hikmicro Raptor.
As a thermal imaging device (or thermal unit), the Raptor has a 50 lens paired with one 640 × 512 pixel strong thermal sensor. This is high-end technology that currently cannot be surpassed - and the image quality speaks for itself: A noise-free, clear and detailed image, which looks absolutely flawless, and thanks to the 15 meter wide field of vision especially in the field area. As a digital night vision device (or optical unit), the camera surprised us above all with its lifelike color reproduction and the extremely high sensor sensitivity, which enables excellent residual light amplification. Here are no wishes left.
