HikMicro Falcon FQ50 2.0 Thermal Monocular Summary
The HikMicro Falcon FQ50 2.0 Thermal Monocular is ideal for users who want long reach and clear subject separation when observing subjects across open ground. It combines a high-resolution thermal sensor with a longer 50mm lens for distance observation, while retaining the familiar, compact cylindrical Falcon design.
The FQ50 2.0 sits above the FQ35 2.0 and is intended for users who spend more time scanning open fields, pasture and wider countryside. The longer lens narrows the field of view, making it easier to concentrate on distant subjects and interpret detail from range. As part of the Falcon 2.0 update, it also benefits from improved image processing, a larger OLED display and refined ergonomics.
This model is well suited to wildlife observation, land monitoring and night-time surveying where reach and clarity are important.
Overview and key improvements
The Falcon FQ50 2.0 improves on the original Falcon platform with optical and processing updates for longer-range observation. The 50mm lens increases effective reach compared to the FQ35 2.0, helping users observe subjects across open terrain. Improved thermal sensitivity and revised image algorithms enhance contrast and edge definition, particularly in low-contrast conditions such as mist or rain.
Usability improvements for the Falcon 2.0 include a rear-mounted focus wheel that allows fast, precise adjustment even when wearing gloves, and a larger OLED display, which provides a clearer, more immersive view. Compared to earlier Falcon models, the FQ50 2.0 is more responsive and more comfortable during longer sessions.

HikMicro Falcon FQ50 2.0 Thermal Monocular in More Detail
Image quality and sensor performance
The FQ50 2.0 combines a high-resolution thermal detector with a 50mm lens, creating a setup focused on detail from a distance. Compared to the FQ35 2.0, the narrower field of view makes it easier to isolate subjects across open ground and interpret movement at range. Improved thermal sensitivity helps warm subjects stand out more clearly from cooler backgrounds, even in challenging conditions.
As with all thermal devices, the quoted detection ranges represent ideal conditions. In everyday use, the FQ50 2.0 is intended for observation at distances where subject shape, movement and surroundings remain clear and usable, rather than simply detecting heat at extreme range.
Autofocus and performance
The Falcon FQ50 2.0 is a fixed-focus thermal monocular and relies on manual focus rather than autofocus. Shutterless imaging removes calibration interruptions during use, allowing a smoother and more continuous viewing experience when tracking moving subjects or scanning large areas.
Video features and formats
The FQ50 2.0 supports photo and video capture directly to internal storage, enabling observations to be recorded with a single button press. Content can be reviewed on the device or transferred via the HIKMICRO Sight app when required, keeping documentation straightforward and accessible in the field.
Handling, controls and usability
Handling follows the cylindrical Falcon design, which offers good balance and comfortable one-handed use. The magnesium alloy housing provides durability without unnecessary weight, making the device suitable for extended carry. Controls are arranged for intuitive use with either hand, and the rear focus wheel allows quick adjustment without shifting grip. Carrying options, including straps and tripod compatibility, support a range of observation setups.
