HIKMICRO LYNX PRO LE15 3.0 THERMAL MONOCULAR
Pocket thermal monocular with a 256 × 192 sensor (NETD below 20 mK), a focus-free 15 mm lens and detection up to 750 m. 1024 × 768 AMOLED display, shutterless imaging, Wi-Fi and a replaceable 18650 battery, in just 296.5 g.
The Hikmicro Lynx Pro LE15 3.0 is the entry model of the Lynx 3.0 series, designed for short to medium range observation: spotting animals in woodland and clearings, following wildlife at dusk or watching over a property. It pairs a 256 × 192 sensor with NETD below 20 mK with a focus-free 15 mm F1.0 lens, giving 2.2× base magnification and an 11.7° field of view, and detects heat sources up to 750 m.
Features
- Focus-free lens: the 15 mm F1.0 lens needs no focusing, just aim; the image is sharp from 7 m.
- Shutterless imaging (HSIS): the Hikmicro Shutterless system removes shutter calibration, so the image does not freeze during observation.
- Image Pro 3.0 and Zoom Pro: AI-based algorithms that sharpen outlines and keep detail when using the digital zoom up to 8×.
- 0.39-inch AMOLED display: 1024 × 768 resolution, six palettes (black hot, white hot, red hot, fusion, red monochrome and green monochrome) and cold or warm tone.
- Replaceable 18650 battery: up to 6 hours with hotspot on at 25 °C and 5.5 hours at -20 °C; charges via USB-C and accepts external power.
- Recording and app: 64 GB internal memory for photos, video and audio, 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi and the HIKMICRO Sight app for live view and file download.
- Rugged and light: IP67 protection, works from -30 °C to 45 °C and weighs 296.5 g.

Frequently asked questions
Can it be mounted on a rifle? No. It is a handheld observation device, with no reticle and no weapon mount.
How far away can I see an animal? The manufacturer states detection up to 750 m, meaning you can tell a heat source is there. Recognising the species requires much shorter distances.
Does it work in daylight and through glass? It works day and night, because it senses heat, not light. It cannot see through glass, which blocks thermal infrared.
Can I see the image on my phone? Yes, with the HIKMICRO Sight app (iOS and Android), connected to the monocular's Wi-Fi hotspot.
