HIKmicro Thunder TH35C 3.0 Thermal imaging attachment

HIKmicro Thunder 3.0 TH35c – Thermal imaging attachment with shutterless system and <15 mK sensor

The HIKmicro Thunder 3.0 TH35c is a compact, state-of-the-art thermal imaging attachment – ​​built for anyone who relies on a reliable, sharp image in the field. At its core, it works with a 384×288 pixel sensor with 12 µm pixel size, which HIKmicro manufactures in-house. The thermal sensitivity of <15 mK NETD The previous model significantly surpasses it with <20 mK – the result is a smoother, more detailed image that makes even the smallest temperature differences visible. 0,49 inch OLED display with 1920×1080 pixels This ensures that the image reaches the eye clearly and with high contrast. The housing consists of a Magnesium alloy, weighs approximately with battery about 460 g and carries the protection class IP67KTwo interchangeable lithium-ion batteries provide up to 6 hours of operationAlternatively, the device can run permanently via USB-C.

Strengths and weaknesses

HIKmicro Thunder 3.0 TH35c as a thermal imaging optic – important features in detail

1. Shutterless Image System (HSIS): The HSIS is perhaps the most practical feature of the Thunder 3.0 TH35c. Older thermal imaging devices interrupt the image every 30 to 120 seconds for automatic calibration – the image freezes for about 2 seconds, and a click can be heard. It is precisely at this moment that a WildThe animal disappears. HSIS completely prevents this freezing: The image remains. always flowing smoothly and without interruption, no matter how long the observation period is.

2. Thermal sensitivity <15 mK NETD: NETD stands for "Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference" and describes how the sensor can still detect subtle temperature differences. <15 mK NETD The TH35c value is noticeably lower than its predecessor's value of <20 mK. This results in a smoother, more stable image with greater detail – particularly valuable on cold nights when WildAnimals offer little temperature difference to their surroundings, making it more difficult to respond.

3. Image Pro 3.0 Algorithm: The Image Pro 3.0 This is an image optimization algorithm that processes the sensor's raw image in real time. It increases contrast, sharpens contours, and reduces image noise using software. The result is a clearer, more three-dimensional image – without any additional hardware requirements. For beginners, this means the device delivers a good image even with standard settings.

4. 35mm lens with internal focusing: The 35mm lens with F1.0 offers high light intensity and a detection range of up to 1800 m (measured according to STANAG standard on a 1,75 m object). The following is particularly practical: internal focus knobIt is located close to the device body, so no long reach is necessary. This saves movement in steady observation situations and significantly facilitates focusing while wearing gloves.

5. OLED display with 1920×1080 pixels: The 0,49 inch OLED display With its Full HD resolution, the image is exceptionally sharp for an ocular display. OLED delivers true blacks and high contrast – this benefits the thermal image because bright heat signatures are clearly separated from the dark background. The viewing experience is significantly more comfortable than with simple LCD displays.

6. Pulse-controlled video recording: The TH35c continuously records video and automatically saves it when a pulse is detected. 7 seconds before and after the eventThis way, important moments are saved without the need for manual recording. With 64 GB of internal storage, there's plenty of capacity – and the recordings can be played back directly on the device, without a smartphone.

7. Multiple correction profiles: Those who use the TH35c with different base lenses can create a separate [setting/setup] for each combination. Correction profile Save. When switching, simply select the appropriate profile – the saved correction data is immediately active. This is particularly useful when the device switches between multiple setups or is shared.

8. Robustness and IP67 protection class: The casing made of Magnesium alloy It is lightweight yet mechanically robust – impact and shock resistant for tough everyday use in the field. IP67 certification This means complete protection against dust and immersion up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. The temperature range of -30°C to +55°C covers all Central European conditions – from autumn hunting in freezing temperatures to summer use.

9. Energy supply and operational flexibility: Two interchangeable Li-ion batteries, each with up to 6 hours of operation are already included in the scope of delivery. If a battery is empty, it can be replaced without tools – operation continues immediately. Per USB-C The device can also be permanently powered by a power bank, which is particularly practical for sitting in the cold for several hours.

10. Monocular operation and hot track: The TH35c does not necessarily have to be used as a thermal imaging attachment – ​​it can also be used as standalone thermal imaging monocular They are used, for example, for patrolling the hunting area or during stalking. Hot track function Automatically marks the warmest object in the current field of view with a symbol on the display – helpful for quick orientation when multiple objects are present. WildAnimals are in the picture.
