HIKMICRO THUNDER TQ35CL 4.0 THERMAL CLIP-ON WITH LRF
Thermal clip-on from the new Thunder 4.0 series, with a 640×512, 12 µm sensor, NETD below 12 mK, a 35 mm F1.0 lens and a laser rangefinder up to 1200 m. It fits in front of your day scope (1× to 15×) for night hunting. 1920×1080 AMOLED display, Image Pro 4.0, 6000 J shock resistance and at least 6 hours of runtime.
The Hikmicro Thunder TQ35CL 4.0 is the 35 mm thermal clip-on of the fourth Thunder generation. It goes in front of the objective of the day scope you already use, and you then see the thermal image through it, for night hunting, without removing the scope from the rifle or changing its magnification. Compared with the previous generation, it gains sensitivity (NETD below 12 mK), a laser rangefinder up to 1200 m, an AMOLED display, the Image Pro 4.0 algorithm and a more compact body, 122 mm long. The 21.9 m field of view at 100 m makes it comfortable for stand hunting and at short and medium range. With an eyepiece, sold separately, it also works as a thermal monocular.
Features
- 640×512, 12 µm sensor: uncooled array at 50 Hz, with NETD below 12 mK to separate the animal from the background even with little thermal contrast.
- Laser rangefinder in the lens: 905 nm, class 1 laser, from 10 to 1200 m; accuracy of ±1 m below 400 m and ±0.3 m above.
- 35 mm F1.0 lens: detection up to 1800 m and a 12.5° × 8.0° field of view (21.9 m at 100 m).
- For scopes up to 15×: 1× magnification in clip-on mode; the manufacturer recommends day scopes from 1× to 15×.
- 0.49-inch AMOLED display: 1920×1080, adaptive brightness and six palettes (Black Hot, White Hot, Red Hot, Fusion, red and green monochrome).
- Image Pro 4.0, HSIS and Sync Pro: updated image processing, shutterless image and real-time response.
- 1 MOA precision: stated by the manufacturer, with image calibration and 5 zeroing profiles.
- 6000 J resistance: body and lens cover in magnesium alloy, IP67, from -30 °C to +50 °C.
- HM-3840DC battery: at least 6 hours with the rangefinder on (25 °C, hotspot off), direct charging via USB-C.

Frequently asked questions
What changes compared with the TQ35CL 3.0? NETD below 12 mK (previously 15 mK), rangefinder up to 1200 m (previously 1000 m), AMOLED display, Image Pro 4.0, 6000 J resistance, one more hour of runtime and a body 30 mm shorter.
Do I need to re-zero the rifle? The manufacturer states a guaranteed 1 MOA precision with the clip-on fitted. If fine-tuning is needed, it has image calibration and 5 profiles, adjustable on the device.
Is the scope adapter included? It is not on the package list. It is chosen according to the objective diameter of your day scope.
Can I use it as a monocular? Yes, with the dedicated eyepiece, sold separately; in monocular mode magnification ranges from 2.3× to 18.4×.
