The features of the Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 3.0 in the test
The design of Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 3.0 was launched in Significantly optimized compared to previous models. With a slimmer, shorter and lighter housing, the device sits comfortably in the hand and is easy to handle even on longer hunting trips. The compact design reduces the weight to just 502 g (without battery), which makes it particularly easy to use as a clip-on. The Thunder fits perfectly on the glass and is optimally balanced thanks to its compact design - a clear advantage—we give it a thumbs up!
The surface of the housing consists of a robust alloy, which was specially developed for rough outdoor use. Focusing is done via an easily accessible ring on the top of the device, next to the three main control buttons. Compared to older models, the Thunder TQ50C 3.0 has a simplified key layout: Instead of four buttons like the predecessor, there are now only three, which makes operation in the dark or with gloves much more intuitive.
Another one practical detail is the magnetic protective covers for the lens. This can be opened and closed silently, which is of course an advantage when hunting so that no noise is caused. For mounting as an attachment, the device is equipped with a stable adapter ring that can be securely fixed.
Further important featuresthat we have prepared for you in Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 3.0 test found the following:
- Hand-held and attachment device in one:
The Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C 3.0 can be both as a handheld device and as a clip-on attachment In handheld mode, the Zoom Pro Mode a precise magnification without any significant loss of quality. The picture-in-picture function allows you to enlarge a specific area of the image without losing the overview. - Motion sensor for energy efficiency:
The built-in motion sensor automatically switches the device to standby mode when it is not in use and activates it again as soon as movement is detected. This saves energy and extends operating time in the area - a great advantage on long hunting trips. This energy-saving mode works in both handheld and front-mounted mode. The benefit is particularly evident in front-mounted mode: when the rifle is not in the ready position, the display is switched off. As soon as the device is needed, it activates automatically without the need to laboriously press the on and off button. - Recoil sensor and app integration:
The recoil-activated video recording saves the recordings seven seconds before and after firing and allows you to play them later via the Hikmicro-App. Another new feature is the integration of a crosshair/reticle, which is displayed in the app during video analysis. This makes it easier to analyze the hit location and offers precise tracking of deviations. - Image and video function:
With the Thunder you can not only record pictures and videos directly on the internal memory and Hikmicro Sight app, but can also be viewed on-site in the area directly on the device. Both recoil-activated recordings and observed wild animals can be played directly on the display. This allows immediate control to see what and how many animals were in the area. - Individually customizable menu navigation:
The revised menu design is more intuitive and can be navigated through more quickly. The shortcut menu allows you to make basic settings such as brightness and contrast, while the main menu allows you to make detailed adjustments such as selecting color palettes or activating the picture-in-picture function. Color palettes such as White Hot or Black Hot can be attached individually as required, which makes operation in the field easier. - Five-glass profiles and bullet menu:
The device allows you to create up to five glass profiles, which allows you to quickly switch between different optics. In addition, the targeting menu can now be adjusted for different distances, which enables precise settings at 50 or 100 meters.
