The Hikmicro Falcon FQ35 in the test: A top-class all-rounder
The Hikmicro Falcon series reaches its end. There is Hikmicro with the last model in the series, the FQ35, everything again. While the Tube shape Although externally reminiscent of the other thermal imaging cameras in the Falcon series, the manufacturer once again pulls out all the stops when it comes to the inner workings of the camera. In our big one Hikmicro FQ35 test We'll go into the operation and technology of the camera and explain to you what advantages the thermal imaging device has in store for you as an all-rounder - stay tuned!
The Hikmicro Falcon FQ35 review
The scope of delivery of the Hikmicro Falcon FQ35
Let's start our FQ35 test with what's included with the camera. Like the other models in the series, this too Hikmicro Falcon FQ35 in one solid hard case carrying case delivered in which it is well protected for storage and transport. The other equipment in our FQ35 test is as follows:
- A Quick Start Guide (You will receive detailed operating instructions from us by email or via your customer account)
- A carrying strap for the device
- A shoulder strap for the bag
- A nylon bag
- A charger
- Two 18650 removable batteries
- A cleaning cloth
- A USB cable with a C connector
Operation and important features of the Hikmicro Falcon FQ35
As with its predecessors - the Hikmicro Falcon FH35, the Hikmicro Falcon FH25 and the Hikmicro Falcon FQ50 – the FQ35 also impresses with its ergonomic tube shape and its valuable appearance. The thermal imaging camera is slightly larger than the size of the palm of your hand and is around 510 grams on the scales. Thanks to their rubberized Magnesium housing It feels easy to hold in the hand and is extremely durable at the same time - this means that it cannot be harmed if it accidentally falls off the ground. The additional one IP67 protection also makes it waterproof and suitable for all weather conditions.
Here's to more important features in operation We will discuss this separately below:
- Keyboard: The external keyboard makes a very good impression: The All buttons are rubberized and have a different shape. This not only makes them easy to grip - they can also be easily distinguished from one another in the dark, so that there is no chance of them getting lost.
- Focusing and eyepiece: The focusing, with which you adjust the sharpness of the image, takes place without any problems and is very smooth. The same applies to the eyepiece at the front. The The rubber coating on the eyepiece also sits comfortably on the eye, so that longer periods of observation with the FQ35 are possible without any problems.
- LED and standby mode: As with the other models in the series, there is a small light on the on/off button of the Falcon FQ35: If the device is in operation, the light is on - you have it in the Standby mode offset, it continues to glow red. We still think this is a very useful feature, as it prevents you from accidentally leaving the thermal imaging camera in standby mode. The battery is thus sustainably protected.
- Battery operation: As with the other models in the series Hikmicro also with the FQ35 on a removable battery. The scope of delivery includes two 18650 batteries, which you charge in the included charging cradle. Depending on how extensively you use the camera, it is Runtime of the FQ35 up to 5 hours.
- Battery compartment: The battery compartment on the Falcon FQ35 is innovative and we really like it: instead of simply inserting the batteries, they are held by one underlying loop enclosed. This ensures that they cannot fall out, but at the same time can be easily removed when taken out. One Push lock The battery compartment also guarantees that everything stays in its intended place even when the camera is under heavy use.
- Lens cap: As is often the case, the lens cap is the only drawback on this technically clean and easy-to-use device. The good news: unlike other manufacturers, the lid can be rotate easily in all directions, and doesn't get in the way when handling. The bad news: The lid is opened via a spring-loaded snap lock. This opens completely silently when pressed, but it is questionable how long the closure will remain functional in practice. Because the more often you use it, the more likely it is Wear out the spring. In addition, the cover is unusually easy to remove from the camera - this was not the case with the other models in the Falcon series.
It remains to be seen whether this is intended by the manufacturer (so that the cover can be replaced quickly) or whether it is a design flaw. However, we would have more of it here again Hikmicro expected.
Technical details of the Hikmicro FQ35 tests
Now we come to the most important question of the FQ35 test: How does the camera perform in the area? Without exaggeration, we can first of all state that the Falcon FQ35 is a absolute high-end thermal imaging device acts: a 640 thermal imaging sensor, OLED display and 35 objective lens speak for themselves. In fact, the camera significantly exceeds our expectations and, in terms of imaging performance, is one of the best devices that we have tested and presented recently.
What particularly excites us is this All-round performance of the device: The field of view of the camera is with 22 meters very wide and at the same time has the most of all models smallest basic magnification at 1,8. This clearly makes the camera very interesting for forest hunters. However, due to the large 35 mm lens, field hunters are also addressed and benefit from the outstanding depth of detail and sensor resolution. In this way, the FQ35 optimally fills the gap between pure forest cameras and the Falcon FQ50, which is particularly suitable for the field.

Our conclusion on Hikmicro Falcon FQ35 review
The FQ35 is clearly a high-end device: the operation and workmanship are impeccable and the Image quality leaves nothing to be desired. Above all, hunters should be particularly well advised to use the camera real all-round thermal imaging device seek. Whether in the forest or when hunting in the field - the FQ35 will serve you very well in any type of area. Smaller weaknesses, such as the impractical lens cap, are easy to ignore. This thermal imaging camera is worth every penny!
