New HIKMicro Lynx 3.0 thermal imaging monocular series: solid and affordable | all4shooters

With the launch of the HIKMICRO Lynx 3.0 series , Hikmicro is taking a big step forward in thermal technology. The new LQ35 and LQ35L models are designed for users who want to know what’s in their environment, regardless of light or weather conditions.

During the first introductions, it immediately became clear that this generation of Lynx devices focuses on one thing: maximum image quality combined with ease of use in the field.

What makes the Lynx 3.0 so special?

The Lynx 3.0 LQ35 and LQ35L are equipped with a powerful 640×512 thermal sensor and an extremely low NETD of less than 15 mK. In practice, this means that even the smallest temperature differences become visible.

This ensures:

  • exceptionally sharp and detailed images
  • Better performance in fog, rain and cold
  • clearer detection of game at long distances

With a detection range of up to 1800 meters and a 35 mm lens, these devices are suitable for both open terrain and dense forests.

Compact, light and built for the field

What immediately stands out about the Lynx 3.0 is its compact and ergonomic design. With a weight of about 350 grams, the device is comfortable to hold and is ideal for long-term use.

In addition, the device offers:

  • Easy operation with well-placed buttons
  • robust construction (IP67 – dust and waterproof)
  • Replaceable 18650 battery for flexibility in the field

This makes it a reliable partner even under harsh conditions.

Image quality and technology

Hikmicro has invested heavily in image processing. With technologies such as Image Pro 3.0 and the shutterless system (HSIS), you get a smooth and stable image without distracting interruptions.

Other useful features:

  • multiple color palettes (White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, etc.)
  • Picture-in-Picture (PIP) for extra detail
  • Hot Track for quick detection of heat sources
  • Photo and video recording with internal memory

All this contributes to an intuitive and efficient user experience.

The difference: LQ35 vs LQ35L

While both models share largely the same base, there is one key difference:

  • LQ35 → standard version, focus on observation
  • LQ35L → equipped with a built-in laser rangefinder (LRF)

The LQ35L can measure distances of up to about 1000 meters, which is a great advantage when assessing situations in the field.

For hunters and users who want maximum precision, this is an important added value.

Practical use in the field

The Lynx 3.0 series is designed with realistic use in mind. Think of:

  • Fast detection when scanning large areas
  • Precise identification thanks to high image quality
  • better decision-making through distance measurement (LQ35L)

Whether you are active in open plains or in dense forest areas, these devices offer a strong balance between overview and detail.

Conclusion: a new reference in its class?

With the Lynx 3.0 LQ35 and LQ35L, Hikmicro brings two powerful thermal monoculars to the market that are clearly focused on performance and reliability.

The combination of:

  • High-quality sensor
  • Excellent image processing
  • Compact and robust design
  • (optional) integrated rangefinder

makes this series particularly interesting for demanding users.
