Hikmicro Panther PQ50L 2.0 Scope & Handh

Hikmicro Panther PQ50L 2.0 Thermal Scope - NETD below 20 mK

On a dark, wet evening, distinguishing an animal from the surrounding landscape is the job of the Hikmicro Panther PQ50L 2.0 Thermal Scope. Its 640 × 512 thermal sensor has a NETD below 20 mK, so it can show fine temperature differences even in poor weather and low light. For wildlife observation and hunting, that level of thermal detail is paired with a built-in laser rangefinder and a ballistic calculation function. The rangefinder measures distance, and the scope’s internal algorithm uses that reading to calculate a suggested point of aim. The 50 mm lens offers 2.6× base magnification, with digital magnification up to 20.8×, while the stated detection range reaches 2,600 m. That reach is useful for spotting heat signatures at distance; the 8.8° horizontal field of view also gives a clear view of the area being scanned. A 1024 × 768 OLED display presents the thermal image, with four viewing palettes for different scenes. The Panther PQ50L 2.0 is a substantial set of tools in a compact scope format: 226.8 mm long and 585 g before the battery. Its rangefinder and ballistic function make it particularly relevant for users who need distance information as part of their aiming setup.

Thermal Scope Features

• Fine thermal detail: The 640 × 512 uncooled sensor uses 12 μm pixels and has NETD below 20 mK. That sensitivity supports the separation of small temperature differences from the background, including in challenging weather.
• 50 mm lens and variable magnification: The F1.0 lens starts at 2.6× magnification and reaches 20.8×, with 8× digital zoom. The stated detection range is 2,600 m; the minimum focusing distance is 5 m.
• Built-in laser rangefinder: The LRF measures the distance to a target. That reading is also used by the internal ballistic algorithm to calculate a suggested point of aim.
• OLED viewing screen: A 0.39-inch OLED display has a resolution of 1024 × 768. Choose from Black Hot, White Hot, Red Hot and Fusion palettes, with adjustable brightness and cold or warm tone settings.
• Viewing comfort adjustments: The 6 mm exit pupil, 45 mm eye relief and dioptre adjustment from -5D to +3D let users tailor the view to their eyesight and viewing position.
• Sealed housing: IP67 protection guards the scope against dust and water, and its stated operating temperature range is -30°C to +55°C. The metal housing and robust components are rated for recoil up to 1,000 g/0.4 ms.

Good to know

Before using the ballistic calculation, set the Panther to the zero distance you normally use. The recoil rating is specified for larger calibres, including .375 H&H, 12-gauge and 9.3 × 64. The scope measures 226.8 × 73.3 × 87.1 mm and weighs 585 g without a battery, useful figures to consider when planning your setup.
