HIKMICRO Alpex 4K & Pro Australia

The HIKMICRO Alpex is a day scope and a night scope in one. You get a 4K colour picture in daylight and a clear black-and-white view after dark with IR. Want pure thermal instead? Have a look at the Stellar or Panther thermal. For spotting, a Condor, Lynx or Falcon handheld pairs up nicely. The A40E Lite, A50E and Pro are below.

Start with the lens. Pick it for how far you actually shoot. For closer pest work around 150 m (rimfire, airgun, tight paddocks), the 40 mm Lite does the job. For foxes at 250 m and longer feral shots, go 50 mm: the 4K A50E or A50EL, or the Pro A50PL if you want the 12 MP sensor and Light Pro for better low-light pictures. The "L" models add a laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator. Then think about battery, weight and an IR torch. Our Alpex 4K & Pro comparison goes model by model, and the HIKMICRO Australia guide covers the whole brand.

Every Alpex is genuine Australian stock with full manufacturer warranty.

Alpex Lite — 40 mm, closer country

The A40E and A40EL Lite are the compact 40 mm F2.0 4K scopes. They suit hunting inside 150 m: rabbits, foxes off the ute, and rimfires or airguns where a 50 mm scope would be too much. The EL adds a built-in rangefinder. Add an IR torch for dark nights, and grab a handheld for spotting. In stock: A40E Lite, A40EL Lite LRF.

Alpex 4K — 50 mm all-round centrefire

The A50E and A50EL run the 3840×2160 sensor on a 50 mm objective with adjustable aperture. It's the Alpex most people pick for foxes and ferals past 150 m. The EL adds a 1000 m LRF and ballistic calculator. In stock: A50E, A50EL LRF.

Alpex Pro — 12 MP flagship

The Alpex Pro A50PL keeps the 50 mm lens and steps the sensor to 4512×2512 (12 MP) with Light Pro processing, F1.8 glass, a 1200 m LRF and AMOLED display. Go Pro if telling animals apart at dusk and extra detail on screen matter most to you. It's still digital day/night, not thermal.

HIKMICRO Alpex Australia — FAQ

Is Alpex a thermal scope?

No. Alpex is digital day/night vision. Thermal (Stellar, Panther, Condor) sees heat with no light. Alpex needs an IR illuminator in pitch black and gives you a daylight-style colour picture by day. If you want to see heat, have a look at our thermal scopes instead.

40 mm Lite or 50 mm 4K?

It depends how far you shoot and what rifle it's going on. Inside about 150 m on a light rifle, go Lite. For foxes at 250 m and longer feral shots, go 50 mm. More megapixels give you more detail and a better low-light picture, but it's the lens that gives you the reach.

When do I pick the Alpex Pro A50PL?

When you already know you want 50 mm, and you'd like the 12 MP sensor, Light Pro for dusk and the 1200 m rangefinder.

Do I still need a monocular with Alpex?

We'd recommend one. A Lynx or Condor finds the animal, then your Alpex takes the shot.
