The Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 in the test: attachment for the field with a revised thread type
The Hikmicro Thunder attachments are among the brand's most popular cameras. Now the manufacturer has with the Thunder 2.0 series comprehensive improvements have been made to the devices used even more comfortable and user-friendly should do. Above all, you get one with the new Thunder cameras completely revised thread attachment for the adapter, so that from now on no intermediate ring is needed. Let's start with this Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 – an attachment specifically for the field. We'll show you how the camera works and how it works Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 review. It's best to take a look now!
The Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 review
The scope of delivery of the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 in the test
You can see that right from the scope of delivery Hikmicro an completely new elevator for its Thunder series. This starts with the bag in which the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50 2.0 is delivered, and stops with the design of the battery compartment of the attachment. Instead of the usual hard-shell case, the camera comes in one elongated, spacious bag, which itself offers enough storage space for all accessories. These include:
- A Quick Start Guide (You will receive detailed operating instructions from us by email or via your customer account)
- A charging cable
- A charger
- Two replaceable batteries
- A cleaning cloth
- An adapter key
There are a few special features to note about the accessories. On the one hand, there is this revised removable battery system with the two in-house ones Removable batteries (4.000mAh). These have to be charged externally in the included charger and then each is impressive 6h. You connect the charger to your power connection using the included charging cable. We think the battery system is successful so far, even if the batteries are a little heavier than those of the predecessor. However, they score points with a significantly longer battery life, so you are happy to accept the extra weight.
On the other hand, the accessories also contain one relatively massive adapter key, which you can use for the counter ring. In fact, you hardly need the key at all - as long as you install it correctly. Because Hikmicro thankfully has that Thread of the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 completely redesigned. The camera now has a M52 thread, so that the annoying attachment of an additional intermediate ring is finally no longer necessary. Instead, you screw the adapter on with a little skill - and as with other manufacturers - by hand. It can be that easy!
If you are still looking for a suitable adapter for your daylight target optics and the attachment, we recommend this SMARTCLIP AS adapter or duo connector with clamping sleeve from our shop – it is guaranteed to fit any attachment!
Operation and important features of the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 in the test
Compared to its predecessor, the Hikmicro Thunder Pro TQ50c, the manufacturer claims to have made some improvements to the 2.0 version - both in terms of operation and technical performance. We will now show you whether this is true. Below we have compiled the most important operating features of the Thunder TQ50 2.0 for you:
- Keyboard: The external keyboard makes an extremely good impression: The Keys are completely rubberized and have different shapes. This not only makes them easy to grip - they can also be easily distinguished from one another in the dark, so that there is no chance of them getting lost. The camera also has one light emitting diode, which lights up red - so you always know whether the device is on or off.
- Enlargement: What's really outstanding about the new Thunder TQ50C 2.0 is the magnification on the glass. The camera finally allows the image to be enlarged more, with virtually no loss in image quality. You can increase the image up to 8 times. The individual image honeycombs are visible at such a high magnification, but are not pixelated. In other words: the image remains clear and noise-free. Even with higher-priced attachments, this is unusual and speaks for itself Hikmicros technical know-how. We ourselves usually work with a 2,5x to 6x magnification and are able to achieve optimal results. Top!
- Hand mode: A clear shortcoming that we point out in our Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 test must point out is the missing hand mode. For now it looks as if Hikmicro With the Thunder 2.0 series, we want to bring pure attachment devices onto the market, which do not also intend to be used as a handheld thermal imaging device. Given the good imaging performance, we think that's a bit of a shame. If you use the attachment without a rifle scope and want to look through the eyepiece, fall The display and main menu are of course very small out of. Magnification through a glass, or alternatively through a smartphone or tablet, is necessary in this case.
- Weight Of course, the new and larger battery also ensures one Weight increase. This works with a battery and without an adapter Hikmicro Thunder TQ50 2.0 weighs 663 grams. With adapter round 810 grams. However, since the additional weight is due to the device's better battery performance, we find the weight to be absolutely appropriate.
Technical details of the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 Reviews
Now let's come to the most important question of ours Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 Reviews: How does the camera perform in the area? First of all, it can be said that, similar to the previous devices in the Thunder series, you have cameras in the technical high-end area received. These include a 640 thermal imaging sensor, OLED display and an extremely high sensor sensitivity of under 20 mk. The high image quality is particularly noticeable in the front and central areas of the image. Unfortunately, the rear field of vision is shown a little too weakly. The manufacturer could have made further technical refinements here, as this imaging weakness was not known in the Thunder series attachments.
With its 50mm objective lens and its 15 meter wide field of view is the TQ50 2.0 for that field station most suitable. The technical details of the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50 2.0 at a glance:

Our conclusion on Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 review
At the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 2.0 is clearly a high-end device: the operation and workmanship are impeccable and the Overall, image quality is above average. However, in order to be able to use the advantages of the attachment as a handheld thermal imaging device, the camera lacks a handheld mode that other devices in a comparable class have. So here it should be said in conclusion: Who has the camera mainly in the field as an attachment If you want to use it, you are well served. Hunters who are looking for an attachment and handheld device in one should better look at other series or wait and see Hikmicro expansions for handheld device use are planned in the near future.
