SIGHTRON JAPAN Inc. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Akira Watanabe) will launch two models of Hangzhou Hikmicro Sensing Technology's new thermal monocular scope "CONDOR LRF 2.0" series. Orders will begin on May 1, 2026, with delivery approximately 1.5 months after order placement.
**■ Product Features**
**Achieves NETD (Thermal Resolution) Less Than 15mK**
The CONDOR 2.0 series is equipped with a highly sensitive sensor that can distinguish temperature differences as small as 0.015℃, with NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) less than 15mK. This excellent thermal resolution allows for clear capture of details and behaviors of animals and people in any environment, providing easy-to-view images with clear distinction from the background.
**Revolutionary Shutterless Image System**
Conventional thermal scopes typically feature a shutter to reset the effects of prolonged use or temperature changes, causing temporary image freezing during correction operations. HIKMICRO has successfully developed and incorporated the revolutionary "HIKMICRO Shutterless Image System" (HSIS) into this series. This eliminates the inconvenience while maintaining high image quality, allowing comfortable observation without missing crucial moments.
*A shutter module is built-in for automatic adjustment to maintain high image quality when powering on or during rapid temperature changes, but it does not operate frequently during normal observation.
**Brand New Rear Focus Wheel for Easy Fingertip Operation**
The CONDOR LRF 2.0 series adopts a new focus wheel mechanism that allows natural fingertip adjustment when gripping the device. All operations, from focusing to various settings, can be performed with one hand. Quick focus adjustment during observation enables smooth target switching from close to long distances without stress.
**"0.49-inch High-Resolution Full HD OLED Display" for Enhanced Immersion**
The CONDOR LRF 2.0 series is equipped with a 0.49-inch 1920x1080 full HD OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display, 25% larger than conventional models. It clearly depicts not only the subject but also background details, enhancing immersion. Users can also select between circular and square display options according to their preference.
**Equipped with a Precision Laser Rangefinder Module**
In observation, target distance information is sometimes indispensable. The CONDOR LRF 2.0 series incorporates a built-in laser ranging function that achieves both a maximum measurement distance of 1,000m and an extremely high accuracy of ±1m. Furthermore, a new "horizontal distance display" option has been added, powerfully supporting more accurate situation assessment even in complex terrains such as mountainous areas with elevation differences.
**Ergonomic Design and Silent Operation**
The compact, lightweight body fits the curve of the human hand, enabling intuitive operation regardless of handedness. The housing, covered with soft rubber that conforms to the skin, provides a comfortable grip even during prolonged surveys.
・**Blind Operation**
Adopts arrow buttons that can be identified by touch for up and down directions. Settings can be changed without hesitation, even with gloves on or in the dark, while looking through the viewfinder.
・**Stealth**
Buttons feature a silent design, ensuring no operating sounds in scenes requiring silence.
・**Accidental Operation Prevention**
The power button is placed on the side to prevent unintended power-off.
**Other Features**
Proprietary image processing technology "Image Pro 3.0" optimizes contrast between the background and subjects, while "Zoom Pro" maintains sharp and smooth depiction even during digital zoom, making target discovery easier.
A large-capacity replaceable and rechargeable battery provides over 6.5 hours of continuous operation. It also supports power supply from commercially available mobile batteries.
Newly added "red" and "green" monochrome image palettes. Significantly reduces eye fatigue during long-term observation in darkness.
Equipped with a local album function, allowing immediate review of captured still images and videos.
Features a highly durable magnesium alloy casing.
Starts immediately in approximately 3 seconds from power-on. Also equipped with a power-saving function that automatically turns off the screen when not in use by detecting the scope's tilt.
Includes a hand strap, neck strap, and pouch. Supports various carrying methods.
