The Shooting Show - Exploring the new HIKMICRO Condor LRF thermal monocular and Falcon add-on

[@duncanmaclauchlan5126]

Met Paul when up at Macleods, Tain. Really helpful and good demos available.

[@stephenlewis195]

Very impressed with the new kit I must say and a great review of the new products. 👍

[@stillair1]

Looking forward to a test and footage of the new thunder sight with optical zoom on rabbit size targets.

Battery on my CQ 50 lasts a long time..... just installed the latest firmware.. haven't tested it yet.. bloody weather

[@norfeu7]

take it on the chin, you get 1 hour max battery life with the 18650 and using the LRF. The good thing is though the Condor has a USB port so I just connect a Juice 10000mAH battery to it, stick it in my top pocket with cable sticking out and you can go all night. Then it does become a great little unit. A neck lanyard would have been nice, rig up some paracord and your good to go.

You are easily pleased £2400 for a unit you need a battery pack no. Defective component identified

[@norfeu7]

@@HunterNV I am not overall pleased thats is for sure, HM tech support have been contacted and I will send in my device for a service repair, at an inconvenience to myself.

I was really impressed with the thunder th50z 384 thunder zoom god knows what the tq60z 640 will be like 😊😊. 👍

[@davrobhow]

Ok so if the new Condor has the same insides as the Falcon will we be getting a firmware update to give Falcon owners access to the new feature such as zoom pro etc???

[@iandebie]

New firmware update available now but unfortunately no zoom pro😢 other new features added to the falcon also. Hot and cold and sharpness. 👍

[@TMFShooting]

Great Video💯, Thank you 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@remr15]

Ye but what’s Mark’s favourite thermal spotter?

[@jonnywishbone3300]

You say that the Condor and the Falcon is exactly the same internals..which model Falcon is equivalent to that Condor you are showing,asking because I didn't want a LRF on a spotter,and I was only wanting the 35mm,so would the Falcon FQ 35 be the same as the Condor CQ35 lrf,image/internals wise???...cheers

FQ50 I believe he said 👍

Do you come anywhere near Southampton Paul

[@jamestolfree7607]

Can you mount the hand strap on the Condor for left hand use?

[@HunterNV]

No

[@jamestolfree7607]

@@HunterNV That’s a shame (for me anyway!)

[@Tom-zj3fd]

@@jamestolfree7607Why you need left hand use?

[@jamestolfree7607]

@@Tom-zj3fd I’m left handed, left eye dominant and it is my preference.

[@ShinedawgShooting]

Auto focus would be nice.

No prices again

How about crows in the trees

[@HunterNV]

5hr battery life you are having a laugh. I got 45 minutes

[@iandebie]

Bad batch of components. Problem is sorted now.

[@HunterNV]

@iandebie the problem has been rectified. That was done by a fair few emails back and forth via a bit ofbtesting My unit has been away for 12 days. For me, their process is flawed. Just as well the retailer loaned me a unit. Overall not a great expirence

[@jasonmyers5116]

5hr battery life is rubbish you get 30-40 minutes at best

[@260rips]

I would contact Hik about that if that’s all your getting from it 🤔 I would imagine they are basing their usage with things like wifi and r/f scan mode off but still you should get a lot better battery life than that!

[@jasonmyers5116]

@@260rips I have the CQ35l and don’t use the WiFi mate or scan and still only get 30-40 minutes but I can’t knock the quality it’s outstanding, someone told me hik are working on the battery life maybe with a firmware update It’s the LRF that kills the battery

[@HunterNV]

No I've sent two back still waiting for it to be returned been 14 days already

[@260rips]

Oh bloody hell thats not good! I will raise this with Hik and see what they have to say about it 🤨

[@sk1nnygal]

Went through 2 Hikmicro thermals, fogging up internally and the screen kept glowing red or grey. Really crap service and full of excuses here in NZ, so went with a Sytong and never looked back. Lasts for hours with the LRF

[@user-tofunnyeh]

Oh boy another scotcuntry production on its way no doubt.

[@260rips]

No idea I’m afraid you will have to ask Scott country!
