HIKMICRO Australia
Needs first. A HIKMICRO thermal scope is for the shot after you have already found the animal — not the scanner you wave around the paddock. Start with a Condor, Lynx or Falcon monocular so you can glass quarry, distance and background safely. Then choose the riflescope, clip-on or Alpex that fits the hunt: quarry, typical shot distance and role. We do not lead with a price ladder or “Australia’s biggest range.”
Considerations. Lock the objective lens to the distances you actually shoot. Close pest work around ~150 m is a ~35 mm class; past that — foxes at 250 m and longer feral shots — step to 50 mm+. Sensor resolution is field of view, not reach: a 384 on the same lens is narrower and more magnified; a 640 widens the scene. Battery, LRF and day/night digital (Alpex) come after the lens and the monocular-first workflow. Read how Hunt The Night fits HIKMICRO to your needs, the Condor CQ35 buyer guide, the Stellar SQ50L buyer guide, and why we start with a spotter. Money units live on the Condor CQ35L, Stellar SQ50L, Alpex Pro A50PL and Lynx LH19, or browse the Stellar collection.
Hunt The Night is an authorised Australian HIKMICRO dealer. Every unit is genuine Australian stock with full manufacturer warranty and Melbourne-based pre-sale advice. We stock the current HIKMICRO line — thermal rifle scopes, handhelds, Thunder clip-ons, Alpex 4K digital day/night and Habrok fusion binoculars — and we fit them by hunt, not by catalogue.

Panther 2.0 — long-range LRF scopes
Purpose-built for reach. All three Panthers ship with a laser rangefinder for fast, confident shots at distance. The PQ models pair a compact body with serious detection; the PH50L adds a larger objective for the longest shots. In stock: Panther PH50L (LRF), PQ35L (LRF), PQ50L (LRF).
NEOS — entry thermal scopes
The value entry point into HIKMICRO thermal riflescopes — a great first thermal for shooters moving up from a torch-and-day-scope setup without stepping down to a no-name sensor. In stock: NEOS NE25, NEOS NH25L (LRF), NEOS NH35L (LRF).
Thunder — thermal clip-ons
Keep your day scope and your zero. The Thunder clip-ons mount in front of your existing riflescope to turn it into a thermal system in seconds — ideal if you've already invested in glass you trust. In stock: Thunder TH35C 3.0 Clip-On, Thunder TQ50CL 3.0 LRF Clip-On.
HIKMICRO Thermal Monoculars
Condor 2.0 — premium spotting monoculars
The top of HIKMICRO's handheld range. Larger objectives, top-tier sensors, and laser rangefinders on the "L" models — the bigger objective lens is what lets the Condor detect and range game at the longest distances before you ever raise the rifle. In stock: Condor CQ35L 2.0 (640×512, LRF), CQ50L 2.0, CH25L, CH35L (384×288, LRF), plus WiFi CQ35/CQ50 variants. → Browse Thermal Monoculars
Falcon 2.0 — all-round 640 monoculars
The sweet spot for most hunters: 640×512 sensors with sub-15mK sensitivity in a balanced, one-hand body. The FQ50L adds a rangefinder; the FH-series 384 models bring the price down without giving up the Falcon handling. In stock: Falcon FQ35, FQ50, FQ50L (640×512), FH25, FH35 (384×288).
Lynx 3.0 / Lynx S — compact & entry monoculars
HIKMICRO's most popular pocket thermals. Genuinely shirt-pocket sized, light, and priced as a first thermal or a back-up scanner. The 3.0 LH models step up the sensor; the Lynx S is the most affordable way into the brand. In stock: Lynx 3.0 LE15, LH19, LH25, LH35; Lynx S LE10S / LE15S; Lynx LQ35 3.0; plus 2.0 carry-overs.
HIKMICRO Digital Night Vision Scopes
Alpex 4K — 4K digital day/night scopes
For shooters who want a true daylight-style image rather than a thermal "white-hot" picture. The Alpex 4K runs a 3840×2160 sensor for crisp detail day and night; pair it with an IR illuminator for pitch-black work. The "L" models add a rangefinder; the Alpex PRO A50PL is the flagship. In stock: Alpex 4K A40E Lite, A40EL Lite (LRF), A50E, A50EL (LRF), Alpex PRO A50PL. → Browse Night Vision Scopes
HIKMICRO Thermal / Night Vision Binoculars
Habrok — multi-spectrum fusion binoculars
Two eyes, two technologies. The Habrok overlays thermal detection on a 4K night-vision channel with built-in 850nm/940nm IR and a laser rangefinder — the do-everything observation tool for serious operators and long glassing sessions. In stock: Habrok HH35L, HQ35L (4K), HQ50L (4K), HX60L / HX60LS (1280×1024, 50Hz), HE25L 2.0.
Which HIKMICRO is right for me?
| If you want… | Look at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Open-country foxes / feral shots past ~150 m | Stellar SQ50L | 50 mm lens + LRF; 640 is FOV, not reach |
| Longer feral shots, ranging on the rifle | Panther 2.0 (L) / Stellar 50–60mm | bigger objective first, LRF is a consideration |
| Closer-country compact scope | NEOS 25–35mm | ~150 m pest work, smaller objective |
| Keep my day scope | Thunder clip-on | mounts in front, holds zero |
| Handheld first for foxes and feral at working range | Condor CQ35 / CQ50 | spotter first; 35 mm ~150 m, 50 mm past that |
| All-round monocular | Falcon 2.0 | 640 image in a balanced body |
| Pocket scanner first | Lynx 3.0 | spot first, then rifle — do not wave the scoped firearm to find animals |
| Daylight-style night image | Alpex 4K | 3840×2160 digital NV |
| Glassing + observation | Habrok | thermal-over-NV fusion binos |

HIKMICRO Australia — FAQ
Is Hunt The Night an authorised HIKMICRO dealer in Australia?
Yes. We sell genuine Australian HIKMICRO stock with full manufacturer warranty.
What's the difference between HIKMICRO thermal and the Alpex 4K?
Thermal (Stellar, Panther, Condor, Falcon, Lynx) detects heat and works in total darkness with no light at all. The Alpex 4K is digital night vision — it produces a daylight-style image and uses an IR illuminator in pitch-black conditions.
Which HIKMICRO scope is best for pigs, foxes or deer in Australia?
Needs first: quarry and typical shot distance set the lens. Close pest work around ~150 m is a ~35 mm class (Stellar SH35 / SQ35, Panther PQ35L). Foxes at 250 m and longer feral shots want 50 mm+ — that is the Stellar SQ50L and Panther 50 mm lane. A 640 sensor widens field of view; it does not buy extra reach on the same lens. Start with a Condor, Lynx or Falcon so you are not waving the rifle to find the animal.
Do HIKMICRO scopes have a laser rangefinder?
The "L" / "LRF" models do (e.g. Stellar SH35L, Panther PQ50L, Condor CQ35L). Standard models don't.
Are thermal scopes legal in Australia?
Thermal and night vision optics are legal to own. Some states restrict their use for hunting on public or state land — check your state's regulations.
Are HIKMICRO thermals any good?
HIKMICRO is one of the most used thermal brands on Australian properties we deal with. In Hunt The Night’s experience the picture holds up in humidity and warm nights when the lens matches the hunt — Condor and Lynx for spotting, Stellar and Panther for the shot, Alpex when you want a daylight-style digital image. We fit by quarry, distance and role, not by a price ladder.
Is HIKMICRO a Chinese company?
Yes. HIKMICRO is headquartered in Hangzhou, China, and builds on imaging-sensor technology developed by Hikvision. Every unit we sell is genuine Australian-delivered stock with full local manufacturer warranty.
What is the best HIKMICRO thermal scope?
Needs first, then considerations. Match the lens to the hunt (~150 m → ~35 mm; 50 mm+ past that; foxes at 250 m → 50 mm), pick sensor for field of view, then platform. The Stellar SQ50L is the money 50 mm LRF scope for typical Australian fox and feral ranges. Start handheld with the Condor CQ35L or a Lynx. The full argument is in the HIKMICRO Australia Needs hub and the SQ50L buyer guide.
How much do HIKMICRO thermal scopes cost in Australia?
Live pricing sits on each product page. We do not group this range by budget. Fit the hunt first — quarry, distance and role — then look at the current price on the unit that actually does the job. Start with the HIKMICRO Australia Needs hub.
