HikMicro Condor 2.0 CQ35L 640px Thermal Monocular with LRF

HikMicro Condor 2.0 CQ35L 640px Thermal Monocular with LRF Summary

The HikMicro Condor 2.0 CQ35L 640px Thermal Monocular with LRF is a compact thermal monocular for users who want an effective combination of image detail, field of view and distance measurement. It combines a 640-resolution thermal sensor with a 35mm lens and built-in laser rangefinder, delivering excellent all-round performance in a lightweight, ergonomic body.

The CQ35L is the most versatile option in the range. It offers a wider field of view than the longer-lens CQ50L while still providing enough reach for open ground, making it well suited to mixed environments such as woodland edges, farmland and varied terrain.

The Condor 2.0 features improved thermal sensitivity, updated image algorithms and a larger OLED display, all aimed at delivering clearer, more natural images with minimal effort.

This model is well suited to wildlife observation, land monitoring and general night-time surveying where flexibility and precise distance awareness are equally important.

Overview and key improvements

The Condor 2.0 CQ35L improves on earlier Condor models through a combination of higher thermal sensitivity and refined image processing. The upgraded thermal system helps reveal finer detail and clearer subject separation in challenging conditions such as fog, rain or uneven backgrounds. Shutterless imaging removes calibration interruptions, allowing observation to continue smoothly without distracting image freezes.

Usability has also been refined. The rear focus wheel allows fast, accurate adjustment with minimal finger movement, and the larger OLED display provides a more immersive view while reducing eye fatigue. The integrated laser rangefinder adds practical context by providing accurate distance and horizontal range information, without complicating the control layout.

Image quality and sensor performance

The CQ35L uses a high-performance 640x512 thermal detector with a 35mm lens, creating a versatile setup for mixed outdoor environments. The wider field of view helps maintain awareness in woodland and along hedgerows, while still offering enough reach to observe subjects across open ground. Improved thermal sensitivity allows smaller temperature differences to be captured, helping warm subjects stand out clearly from cooler backgrounds.

As with all thermal devices, detection range figures reflect ideal conditions. In everyday use, the CQ35L is intended for observation at distances where subject shape, movement and surroundings remain easy to interpret, rather than simply detecting heat at extreme range.

Laser rangefinding and performance

A key feature of the CQ35L is its integrated laser rangefinder. It measures distances up to 1,000 metres with high accuracy and can display horizontal distance alongside direct range data. This adds valuable context during observation, particularly when assessing terrain or planning movement.

Focus and continuous viewing

The Condor 2.0 CQ35L is a fixed-focus thermal monocular and uses manual focus rather than autofocus. The rear-mounted focus wheel allows quick switching between near and distant subjects. Shutterless imaging ensures the view remains fluid and uninterrupted, supporting smoother tracking of moving subjects and longer observation sessions without distraction.

Handling, power and usability

The CQ35L is designed for comfortable one-handed operation. Its compact form and soft, textured housing provide a secure grip, while simplified controls make adjustments easy even when wearing gloves or working in darkness. Multiple carrying options allow the device to be kept close at hand, and the replaceable rechargeable battery system supports extended use, with external power available via USB-C if required.
