The new Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C: The successor that wants to outdo everyone

With the Hikmicro Thunder Pro TE19C and the Hikmicro Thunder TH35C effect Hikmicro already introduced two thermal imaging attachments in the low to medium price range. The new Thunder Pro TQ50C should now far surpass both predecessors: The compact design and easy operation have been retained, but in the image performance effect Hikmicro with the new device taken a big step forward.

In our Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C Test we would like to introduce you to the new attachment in more detail and see whether it keeps what it promises. For this we take a look at the Functions, operation, accessories and of course on the resolution, which we will show you in the practical test in the district. So stay tuned!

The Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C review

In addition to data transfer via cable, you can do the same about the Hikmicro-App and the WLAN module connect to tablet or smartphone and so on Transmit data quickly and easily. However, this is a standard function that you can find on most devices, including cheaper ones. So let's see what this is Hikmicro Thunder TQ50C has to offer when it comes to operation.

 

Simple and safe operation – that’s how we are Hikmicro used

The Operation and keyboard layout are the same, which you already have here Thunder TE19C and TH35C finds – an absolutely right decision Hikmicroto take these over. As with its predecessors, we have nothing to complain about here. Uncomplicated, intuitive and quickly mastered – the operation of the six outer and slightly raised buttons is convincing across the board. In addition to the power button or the photo and shutter button, you will also find one Magnifying glass button, which controls the digital zoom. It is important to note here that you can only use this button if you have a Eyepiece attached and use the camera as a handheld monocular.

A word about the eyepiece: This is like the adapter you need to attach it to your target optics Eyepiece not included. In this case, that's actually a bit of a shame, as most attachments from other manufacturers come with a suitable eyepiece. Do you want that? Hikmicro To use Thunder TQ50C as a handheld device, you have to do this Order eyepiece separately.

The Focus As with its predecessors, you set it at the front of the camera lens. It is completely normal that handling the rotary wheel is a little difficult at first - over time the gear becomes smoother and the adjustment becomes very easy. There are also two more on the bottom of the Thunder TQ50C Thread, those who Mounting on a tripod or stalking stick allow.

 

Insert battery correctly

The Hikmicro Thunder Pro TQ50C does not come with a built-in battery for charging. Instead it becomes over two CR123A batteries or RCR123A batteries which you insert into the battery compartment on the left side of the device. The Advantage This should be obvious: No more annoying charging via the mains plug and you don't have to worry that your attachment will give up the ghost too quickly while stalking. And should the battery become weak, replacement batteries are quickly at hand and can be replaced easily and in just a few seconds.
