The features of the Hikmicro Falcon FQ50 in the test
The design of the FQ50 is like the other models in the range ergonomic tube shape held, which is particularly good and easy to grip in the hands. With approximately 640 grams On average, the model is around 100 grams heavier than the other thermal imaging cameras in the Falcon series. Thanks to the handy shape, the weight is distributed extremely well and is therefore not noticeable in a negative way. The camera's housing is the same as its predecessors - the Hikmicro Falcon FH35, the Hikmicro Falcon FH25 and the Hikmicro Falcon FQ35 – Made from a magnesium alloy. thanks to the Magnesium housing The high-quality impression of the device is further enhanced.
Further important features, which we have for you in Hikmicro Falcon FQ50 test found include the following:
- Focusing, diopter compensation and eyepiece: The focusing with which you adjust the sharpness of the image is very easy. The same applies to the eyepiece at the front. The rubber coating on the eyepiece sits very comfortably on the eye, making it easy to observe for longer periods of time with the FQ50.
- Thread for carrying strap: The Hikmicro Falcon FQ50 has a thread on the underside for a carrying strap or for mounting on a pulpit mount. The camera can be easily carried on the body or mounted on a stalking stick.
- USB-C input: The FQ50 has a removable battery system, so you can use the USB-C input on the bottom of the device and the included cable exclusively for data transfer. However, the camera can be easily operated with a corresponding power bank, so you can extend the battery life as you wish.
- Keyboard: The keyboard makes a very good impression: the keys are all rubberized and have a different shape. This means they can be distinguished from each other even in the dark and there is no chance of them getting lost.
- Digital zoom: We were able to zoom in ours Hikmicro Falcon FQ50 test magnify up to 8x. However, we advise you not to go beyond the first two zoom levels for the best results. Otherwise the image will be too pixelated.
- Battery change: Changing the battery is very easy: Hikmicro As with the other models, we have used an innovative slide-in battery compartment that can be locked absolutely securely. Instead of simply inserting the batteries, they are enclosed in a loop underneath. This ensures that they cannot fall out, but at the same time can be easily removed when taken out.
- Menu completely in German: The FQ50's menu is entirely in German - a clear advantage, even if the translation sometimes leaves something to be desired.
- Microphone: Something that makes the FQ50 unique among the Falcon models is definitely the integrated microphone. In addition to the video and photo function, you can also record the acoustic dimension of your hunting trip for posterity.
Different lens caps on the Falcon FQ50
Waidmanns have often pointed out to us that the FQ50 appears to be... two different lens caps is delivered: Once with a folding mechanism that opens automatically via a suspension, and then with a lid that can be opened manually.
