How is it usable? LIEMKE LYNX-1?

What happens when unpacking the LIEMKE LUCHS-1 is immediately noticeable robust and careful workmanship. The device looks exceptional resistant and, despite its small size, feels good in the hand. The eyepiece piece is in the case of LIEMKE LYNX-1 only one simple, unscrewable plastic ring, which does not allow manual magnification. If you use the LUCHS-1 as an attachment and not as a handheld device, this will not be a negative issue at all, as the device screwed onto the target optics on the eyepiece side must become.

The lens of the LIEMKE LYNX-1 comes with one hinged lid provided, which also occurs when operated slowly unfortunately not completely silent can be opened. If you use the device while stalking or sitting in a hide, you should be careful so as not to scare away the game. But this small shortcoming is more than compensated for when we get to the Operation of the LIEMKE LYNX-1 come – because these really leaves nothing to be desired.

Individual operating concept

There are on the top of the attachment three large and slightly spaced buttons, with which you can access the menu absolutely silently LIEMKE LUCHS-1 controls. Due to its nature, the keyboard can be felt clearly even in the dark can be operated without any problems – a very clear plus point. Another advantage is the on and standby switch. Unlike many other devices, this will be the case LIEMKE LUCHS-1 is not switched on and off via a button to press, but via a small lever located on the side of the device. This can be switched over three levels: ON, standby and OFF. Thanks to the lever, the device can be Switch on and off wonderfully even with gloves and accidental crushing in the dark is impossible.

A absolute novelty What matters to us in terms of operation is that the external device buttons are located via the menu be assigned certain functions. Like you in ours LIEMKE LUCHS-1 test, you can assign that only the brightness of the image is regulated using the outer arrow keys and you don't have to go through the hassle of making the respective settings first via the menu. Distraction caused by long fiddling around in the menu to find the right picture settings is a thing of the past - you have yours assigned once to the desired specifications, you can fully concentrate on the scenery in front of you. With this completely customizable operating concept So you definitely save yourself time and nerves.

Solid battery life

The battery of LIEMKE LYNX-1 is permanently installed and is charged via the USB cable or a power bank on the side. What is particularly impressive here is this Battery life of an impressive 9 hours. A small side note about the battery: On our first one LIEMKE Unfortunately, we discovered in the LUCHS-1 test that the battery did not work properly and could only be charged incompletely. We then complained about the device and from LIEMKE also received a new LUCHS-1 immediately.

The most important technical details – this performance lies dormant LIEMKE LYNX-1

Now let's come to what is probably the most important question: What can the new one do? LIEMKE LYNX-1? We took the device to the station and tested it for you, and we can say – we are excited! As you can see from the pictures in the video, the recordings are more than impressive: Also at greater distances the image remains rich in detail and the game can be addressed clearly and safely. In our opinion, the image performance of the LIEMKE LUCHS-1 the well-known one Infiray Xeye CH50 V2 is in no way inferior. This level of detail is made possible by a Large and powerful 640 x 512 μm VOx sensor and 35 lens.

A technical highlight on the LUCHS-1 is also the silent shutter of the objective lens - Unlike the outer protective cover of the lens, you don't have to worry about loud noises at inopportune moments. The shutter is carried out semi-automatically: By closing the lens cover and pressing the UP button, the user can carry out the silent calibration themselves.

What is particularly noteworthy about the LUCHS-1 is its Internal weapon storage for up to 3 rifle profiles. This is a unique selling point, which you will rarely find in this form with other attachments. In plain language this means: There are 3 weapon profiles available, which you can assign to different rifles and calibrate and adjust to the specific weapon. Instead of one Rifle change You have to make lengthy adjustments to the attachment LIEMKE LYNX-1 sofort einsatzbereit.

We particularly liked it in the practical test Red Hot mode LIEMKE LYNX-1: This shows you which part of the animal's body secretes the most heat, which can be particularly advantageous when hunting predatory game. With his wide field of view from 22 m to 100 m The LUCHS-1 is also ideal as an attachment for both forest and field hunters. And if you want to use the thermal imaging camera primarily as a handheld device - that's no problem either.
